read something with some REAL information, and unbiased reviews/tests of cars/parts/race venues. Unless you are buying it just for the show hoes and ricer ads, this magazine blows any other out of the water.

yes, its better then car & driver road & track or pretty much any other mag i can think of. The articles are just as indepth as those "upper class" mags, but they do them on stock AND modified cars, and its slit equally ammong different makes, so itll expant your views and give you a better idea of whats REALLY out there.

SCC sucks IMO. they are motivated only by the money the ads in their mag bring in.. which happen to be the parts they usually "test" or cars they drive. unbiased? i think not. plus their editors cant drive.

You must have SCC mistaken for Super Street. SCC is not all that bad. I could care less about the reviews (if they are biased or not, its not like I'm ever gonna buy anything because they liked it), I just read it to learn a little and be informed.

well heres some information...

SCC recently announced a neon project car and compaired it to their new Sentra SE-R project car. they PURPOSLY compaired the lower model SOHC neon to the top of the line SE-R. why? to make it look like the new SE-R is the better performer in the aftermarket department. pretty shady if you ask me.

I really could care less for a comparison such as that. Am I in the market for a Spec V/SE-R or a Neon? No. Besides SCC ran the article about Nissan's "problems" with the HP rating on the Sentra's.

Actually I don't even read scc and the opinions of a magazine arn't going to influence what cars I like.
The reason I don't like neons was pretty clear in my first post They are GAY![IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]

I usually stand around in a japanese bookstore and read the mags. Option, Option2, REVSpeed, Carboy, they are all packed with interesting information. TOO MANY ads though.
