Wheres the car, Boe?

I remember reading a while back Sport Compact Car was doing a test on "sleeper" cars, and that Boes car was one of them. I got the newest SCC this month and they have an article on sleeper cars, but no Lancer. (Some cool cars though, the 2JZ powered Lexus is fun, but the real winner is the 4G62 powered 1990 Hyundai Excel) I was wondering if they cut the car from the article, or maybe next months magazine will have another installment of sleepers. Any info Rob or Boe?

No, it was the second RRM turbo car that SCC was supposed to cover. I forgot all about that. Rob, Boe, Gabe...any word?

Man, SCC doesnt just cover lots of Civics. I find that SCC is one of the few mags for imports that has any technical knowledge, what-so-ever. Dave Coleman is damn good with what he knows, and if he doesnt know it, he will find out. Besides that, you see all sorts of crazy cars in that mag. One of my favorites is the Geo Storm wagon with the Isuzu Impusle drivetrain, now thats one of a kind.

Still no one knows what be came of this article???

Ironic this thread got revived cause......We did original tests at Fontana but things got delayed cause the Tibby broke a swaybar mount. Both cars are due to retest in the next couple weeks I pulled both cars. Then we were ready but SCC was busy with Ultimate Street Car etc.. So it is still on but got delayed.

I bet the tibby broke a sway bar mount because it was trying to turn out of the way of a flying potatao....
