I always found Super Street to be light and funny. It is a cool mag. It is like a mag that my friends and I would make. You have to take it for what it is. They have cool pictures and they make me laugh.

Sport Compact Car is more serious and is much more informative.

If you want silly pick up Max Power UK. They hold nothing back. They cut guys up who are posers.

I personally like both SCC and Super Street, that's why i have subscriptions to them both. I can't stand Import Tuner, it's such a waste of paper, all i have ever seen in there is basically "riced out" show cars, it's like a teeny bopper mag for all the little ricers to look up too!!

The only gripe I can have with scc is that they reprint alot of their articles in european car. They were comparing the si to the 1.8t for a while there and the same articles were printed in the seperate mags. It seemed like scc favored the si and ec favored the 1.8t.

MAX power uk is the best. I want to run gtgs like they have over there. Burnouts, chicks and hot cars.

How do they manage that? 7.5 chicks per page or is one on the fold with a tit on each page? Or maybe one is half behind a car?

LOL. Sorry i just couldn't resist. Max Power is a borderline **** mag but it is entertaining.

SCC tries to be the Car & Driver of the import world and occasionally they come close. They do seem to be the only ones who try to check their information and they did have a really good article this month on swapping the H22 into a 5G civic.

I think that SCC is pretty good, considering that no other import magazine is as technical as they are. I read SCC cover to cover every month.

I do not buy SuperStreet, only occasionally will I pick it up. Recently the mags have been really big in terms of the number of pages, and I will look through them in the grocery store. If there is something in there that stands out, then I will buy it, but I wouldn't read it for the tech. articles. JDM Wong does pretty good JDM car write ups though, and in terms of JDM cars and pics, only Option2 is better. (However, I can't read Japanese, but the pictures are cool )

Import Tuner sucks really bad, unless you are into the all show crap.

My favorite car magazine is Grass Roots Motorsports. It is a magazine about SCCA racing and they are about all go and no show. Really good tech. as well. See them on the web at http://www.grassrootsmotorsports.com

SCC is an excellent magazine--very nuts-and-bolts oriented. Sometimes they are a little behind on trends, but if you don't follow trends then that doesn't matter. Their diversity of cars is also the best of the bunch.

Super Street has improved vastly over the past few years. While they've latched onto the JDM thing in a big way, it's made cool iron show up on their pages. I like the humor, too. Their writers are pretty loose. I'm srure they'll take a beating for their f'ed up rally info.

Aside from their dyno results section, Import Tuner makes me want to cry. I hate the show scene, but I guess to their 18-year old demographic this mag is PhAt yO!!!

UK Max Power is what Super Street would be like without any boundaries. Gotta dig the tit shots


Don't forget Grassroots Motorsports! They cover a HUGE range of cars and they are VERY no-nonsense in terms of technical info. No show cars here--strictly performance. They are the big autocross mag (for those who've never seen it) and they cover all sorts of other racing, too.

I subscribe to SS and SCC and buy whatever off the stands.

I have to get a second subscription to Grassroots. I wear the one I get out. They are doing a series that we should all be interested in. They are chronicling a beginning racer. They have great info.
