The list was pretty weak. Pretty much SCC wanking off again. Since when is the Supra, 350z, 300z, Skyline, etc., etc. Sport Compacts? Cool cars? Yeah. Compact? Eh, no.

#49 1989-93 Nissan 240SX-The S13 Silvia was sold mostly as a cheap "girl" friendly commuter. Now it's recognized as the great drifting machine.

#59 1995-1998 Nissan 240SX, Just as overlooked as all of Nissans previous Silvias in America, the rear drive S14s reputation rebounded with the growth of drifting.

October Issue of Sport Compact Car.

[fast95pony]

What ?? No Hyundai Pony ?? :dunno:

[statick]

s14 is #59, but s13 is #49...:eek:

i guess the s13 revolutionized/started the drift craze.

[three.eighteen.]

the s15 is on the list too, there are also like 2 or 3 evos on the list too

[GT2NV]

I dont think it made the list. It doesnt really matter much the results are as lame as SCC itself. Not sure how a civic qualifies as a sports car.

[M_Power]

Ill do the top 10:
10- 85-87 Toyota Corolla GT-S
9- 68-73 Datsun 510
8- 62-03 Adustin mini cooper
7- 90-94 Nissan Skyline GT-R
6- 94-98 Toyota Supra
5- 76-85 VW GTI
4- 97-01 Intaegra Type R
3- 2002-present WRX
2- 92-95 Civic
1- Mitsubishi EVO VIII
They didn't rank the cars purely on performance and looks, it was more of the impact that the car has made on the Sport Compact industry. I think in the regard the list is pretty accurate.

COMPACT CARS in their magazine, is defined by 4 or 6 cylinder engines, they kind of chose the most modded sport compact cars of all time id say, skylines and supra s didnt come up too good, not even the old corolla's did that great. it like M_power said, they were ranked on the impact they had, not performance, and the evo recently just was likea bombshell.

I still can't understand a word you say and I still think their list was weak. My point was that the list is really meaningless IMO because they cater their definitions to the rice boiz.

I like Skylines and Supras and many other cars on the list. That doesn't make them Sport Compacts anymore than a Corvette or Camaro is a Sport compact. Notice the cars will have similar dimensions?

but they are catering to their reading audience in that sense, you dont see ads in scc for many domestic-muscle parts

[Team_Mclaren]

"compact"

i seriously dont recall skyline/supra to be anything compact....and if they are rating it on the impact of the car... civic would most definity win #1, not evo8...

so wtf, did mitsu pay them to make the "LIST"?? overall, this is weak

[SkylineAdmirer]

Yea i agree the list was weak....

AND IF ANY OF YOU STILL CANT UNDERSTAND

when this magazine says "COMPACT CAR" they mean:
powered by a 4 or 6 cylinder engine
