USCC

[Dirtylou]

Is it just me or was the GT-R in somewhat of a disappointment. 552whp and still runs high 12s. Does that seem right? Was it the driver? Personally, I think the whole competition is not what it used to be. What happened to the Vipers, Supras and 'Vettes with tire liquifying power? To me the whole pushrod exclusion rule is dumb. The new competition seems like it's more import biased and rules are in favor for them also(all but the R32VW are Japanese). I may own a Nissan but I realize that there are other fish in the pond. Also, I never thougth that I would see a Miata in the USCC. Granted it's good...really good(it beat the GT-R on the road course), but I'm sure there are other cars that are nominees for USCC than it. Please don't think that I'm bashing the cars...I give ALL the cars MAJOR props for making it(all but 5/10 cars had 1g on the pad) but I guess I'm use to the previous contests. ALso, whats with the mr2 winning the show car award...for those with the mag. look at it on page 61. What's with the side skirts and the trunk lid? I'm glad I got that out...I feel a lot better.

the whole point of the compact car challenge is to test compact cars, namely from japan. Not corvettes, vipers, and IMO a skyline shouldnt even be included. It should be purely cars that we have here and are modified. Ie, dsm's, s13/14, celica, any other small compact car you can name. I dont believe they need to be testing corvettes or vipers, thats what muscle car mags can do.

the gt-r had some sort of problem, if you read the whole thing, it wasnt feeling too good from what they said.

As much as I love SCC, the USCC was a disappointment this year. Yes so was the GT-R. It did worse then last year? WTF? Whats up with the only the yellow cars winning?

[nsrZ32]

Yet another stupid yellow car won

I too was disappointed in the USCC overall this year. Maybe someday I'll put my car in it. lol

[nismofly]

run the z32 next year, the application is in the mag

[nsrZ32]

run the z32 next year, the application is in the mag

I dunno about next year lol Still more I'd like to do and get done with the car. One of these years though.

awww do it, your Z whould dominate so much of the competition, only thing id be afraid of whould be beaking something, they tend to like to do that... but seriously how hot whould that be to rock the pages of SCC in a NICO Z... my buddy accually just showed me the qualifyers... i hadnt seen it, my subscription ran out as the comp started... so i didnt know who won, my money was on an Evo too... only for publicity... and since everyones saying yellow won I take that as MR. Two?

[SmithSR]

SCC had zero kind things to say about the performance of the GTR and it's 1/4mile pilot, Sean Morris.. no surprise that once again, the car was rushed, hurried, not sorted, and completely unprepared for the competition. Everybody on another forum bows to this guy, but how many times does the GT-R have to fail, for somebody with more time, money, or both, to get a proper GT-R into the field??

"Not as easy as it looks" will be the retort, or "if you only knew the prep time that already goes in"etc etc..

If it takes that much time, and still failure is the result, maybe either:

Skyline GT-R isn't that great of a car, orTime to pass the torch

[Dirtylou]

WOw ....just saw your cardomain page...it seems like a serious contender now. It looks like an impressive machine.nice.

[SeVa-S13]

550whp and 12's? Maybe a Supra with a Skyline conversion?

I can run 12's with my RB20 with an FMIC, t/3t4 and a piggyback. Hardly rocket science.

Get a competent person that's focused on the project and with the funds to do it properly and that car could easily dominate. I mean it's not even hard to get an RB26 to double its stock output. Some GT twins (2540s maybe?) Thicker FMIC and radiator, some pistons, Profec B and a PowerFC. Give it some dyno time and drag radials...you'll decimate in the 1/4 mile and still have a good enough powerband to road race with those pesky Miatas.

like i said they willingly admitted the car had big problems, even the driver said that. maybe theyll get a different skyline for next year.

[gabossie]

... maybe they'll get rid of Sean Morris. Never liked that guy, and he seems to not be able to pull his **** together very well.

[SmithSR]

They say that every year.. time for another tuner with either:

more capabilitymore timemore money

or any combination of all three to step up

[MinisterofDOOM]

I was pretty disappointed by this year's USCC. Last year's kicked ***, with that Ultima GTR and such. And whoever said the USCC was for sport compacts only? It stands for Ultimate Street Car Competition, not Ultimate Sport Compact Competition. ANY street car should be able to enter, that's the appeal.

well last year it was doing great until something rather happened, i dont quite remember. the one they were supposed to run last year was a lot better, but then got sold even after getting voted in, so they couldnt run it.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Take a look at the scores from last year. That Skyline, even after breaking, placed very high. I don't remember where exacly, but if they car had kept running it would have taken the competition. It did very well in everything it was able to run, and then there was a drivetrain issue if I remember right.

[nismofly]

ya, and in this one morris did say it wasnt the same car from last year, something missing from it. still though skyline has to win it one of these days.
