SCC is not going to call you about a domestic sedan that's been out of production for five years. Not even if it sprouted rocket launchers, 800 whp and spit double-padded bright pink bras out the exhaust for all the ladies that would be drooling at it.

We've got two cars here at or over the 400 whp mark, and an all motor SVT that traps at over 100 mph. SCC didn't give a rats ass.

So what does yours do that theirs can't? Do you have Honda badges on it? That's a good start. SCC likes Honda.

It's sad, but it's true though. Japanese cars are (almost) the only one showed in car mags. I've rarely seen some american cars in car mags(I think I only saw a few stangs and 1 corvette). That's sad, but that's how it is.

i personally know editors at Streettrucks and Truckin/Minitruckin and some who used to work at various others. I have had many friends who's rides were on the cover of these magz and others, including SCC. often times when these editors talk to people about featuring their rides its because theyre blowing smoke up their cornhole. 90% of the time they do a feature on the car its with someone who they have already known for quite some time, through the show scene or the racing circuits. the only time they would tell someone they would feature their vehicle when its still in the construction stage is when that person has already built a previously featured vehicle and they know will be building something badass! OR they personally know them, otherwise its just smoke up their butt. i think, either that's what happened in your case, or youre feeding everyone bs. they also dont go looking for unpopular vehicles that people with paying subscriptions DONT want to see. its well known in here that the csvt was never endeared by SCC. even the focus, which is 100x more popular than our cars ever were, are ignored by SCC. they do cater to Hondas cuz that's what the majority has been driving forever, at leastwas. they dont feature vehicles that arent VERY popular or vintage/cool. I also dont see the head editor getting so geeked out about your car that he would call you personally to tell you that he would like to feature it whenever you get around to finishing it based on all the awesome plans you shared with him. and as someone asked you, just how did they find out about your project supercar?? dont mean to be a d*ck but it just doesnt sound right bud.

I applyed for a sponsorship throught their website and i found one of the editors e-mail so i e-mailed him.He left me a very short message asking where i was from and to keep in touch.. Then i get a call two months later saying when you have this together call me. They already have pictures and all my planned modifications on paper. Nothing is ever for Certain as time changes everything but i will do everything i can to get it in. IF it will sell magazines which it would they would be interested.

Took it upon myself to make corrections to your post.

I see they didn't have interest in you, based solely on your grammar and puncuation.
