Sport Compact Car is wanting input for their next project car, and said that they have had request so far for J-Body's and DSM's. They say that the response for J-Body's has been overwhelming, but I think that we could overwhelm them with responses for DSM's.

I have done sent them about a page and a half of why they should make a DSM their next project, and I think that if they see a big enough voice from us then they will almost have to do it.

I mean come on, who wants to read about bunch of cavaliers :shrug ???? That should be enough to make everyone want to write in.:thumbsup

Now get to typing, here is the address to send your emails to:

sccnews@primedia.com

Neat, I get that magazine! Their recent project cars have bored me (I mean what was their last one)? A miata? I always look for DSM's in the magazine but haven't seen too many in the past few years.
:( I might just have to get to typing them. When will they decide?

Yeah...saw that too. I can't see them doing a DSM because to them, for the most part, 4G63 = EVO...and they already had to give their last one back.

we can push for a 420a :D

I like that idea.

Um, SCC has done several project DSMs.

Not to mention all the 420a coverage (SRT4).

They haven't done any Cavalier projects that I'm aware of (but I dont get the magazine and don't care about american cars). The ecotech is a badass platform with a lot of potential, the tech trickles down into Solstice/Sky/Sunfire/Cobalt applications and they finally have support from names you might recognize.

I'd rather see a magazine cover something new instead of rehashing an old platform we already know how to build.

In my letter it talked about doing a 420a because most of the Eclipses/Talons produced from '95-'99 are 420 cars.

4g63's are the pooh-pooh, but I would really like to see a magazine do a really insane 420a just to show people that they can also be capable performers.

There. Fixed it for ya. :thumbsup

J-body.

EWWWWWWWW.

how about one of the old school 2.4 guys send them in their build so they can do one too.

What do you think a 2.4T eclipse build would do for this community.

I get import tuner in the mail every month and I get so freaking tired of evo, 240sx, wrx, or civic hatch builds. We need something different I almost dont care what it is anymore as long as its not 1 of those.

Ohh and btw! who the hell wants see a cavalier build? Funny thing is I have never even seen a cavalier that was not automatic. Although, I know they make them. Guys shouldn't drive sunfires, cavaliers, or cobalts. They are girly cars.
