This months Sport Compact Car

DoughtCom · 10-25-2006

You guys might not care, but I just got this months SCC and not only is it the Ultimate Street Car Challenge winners (which I find entertaining), but they also have a decent mitsubishi history article since it's their 25th anniversary of selling cars in the US. I just got the mag last night so I didn't get a chance to read it yet, but it seemed pretty cool, lots of DSM stuff.

I read the article a few days ago. It was a pretty good article. It got a few things wrong in true Sport Compact Magazine fashion, but over all wasn't too bad.

Although I wasn't too happy with them slamming the 3/S as being too heavy to do anything.

later,
Curt

I'm not exactly sure what people want out of 3/S's, they do exactly what they were designed to do very well. They are amazingly comfortable high-speed cruisiers, they handle fairly well stock (way better than a stock DSM), and they can move.

It is a good rag this month, I haven't even gotten to the Mitsu article yet. I loved the 1974 Civic race car article, since I had four of that style Civic long before Hondas were popular. I still wouldn't mind picking up one of those shells and dropping a 4G63 in it, they only weigh about 1700 lbs stock.
