You Can't Say That There Are No Japaneese Sport Compact Cars,... The Nissan Sentra Se-r Spec V, Honda Civic Si Hatcback, Toyota Celica Gts, Toyota Mr2,acura Rsx Type S, Mazda Miatia, And Mazda Mazdaspeed Protege. On Top Of That There Is The European Marks Like Volkswagon Golf Gti Vr6, Gti 1.8t, And R32. So I Think That There Is Plenty Of Other Choices.

IMO I hope the American sc's start growing. But, one thing noone has said anything about. It's up to the car company to do more then just make a fast bone stock car. They must be aftermarket friendly. Look at the wide range of aftermarket parts for imports. Why, because they gave the aftermarket world room to play. Imports like Honda understand this. So they make car's you can upgrade with systems that can be understood and worked around. When Honda makes changes they open the books and say this is what we did. Where as with the American SC's that have a good starting point. They seem to limit what you can do before spending big money. Or they just up and change the whole damn car from bumper-bumper The aftermarket people see this and know it only a matter of time before all there work was for nothing and or out of date.

Re: Is The Tide Turning For American Sport Compact Cars?

the focus is tearing up alot of hondas and mitsus in the sport compact racing world. (drag mostly).
the best is yet to come, however.

I Agree With The Fact That Any Car That Is Going To Make It In This Segment Is Going To Need Many Different Aftermarket Suppliers With Intakes To Head Work, Without This Support Even The Best Domestic Sport Compact Will Not Sucseed Without Them. So It Seems Basically: Mass Produce A Car That Is Cheap And Reliable, With Parts That Are Easley Interchangeable, And A Engine That Has Some Kind Of Performance Aspect To It…
