This challenge is sponsored by SuperCoupes Unlimited and will be carried out for the most part at the SC Shootout. It will be an annual event and you don't have to be present to compete.
We will accept time slips provided that:
1) The car must be documented. You must submit detailed photos of the car showing the underhood, interior, exterior, tires used, and exhaust system. Blurry, small, distorted, or distant photos are not acceptable. Photo's must represent what a person would see looking at the car in person.
2) You are not required to submit any details about any modifications done but if it doesn't look stock your claim will not be accepted. The car has to look BONE STOCK.
3) Time slips must be witnessed by a live - non relative witness who is familiar with SC's and who can be contacted to back up your claim. Time slips must have date and location visible.
4) The car must be made available for inspection if conditions permit. I travel around a lot and have met or will meet most people. I may ask to see the car and/or witness it run at some point. Refusal to attend a local event or present the car for inspection is grounds for disqualification.
If you attend the SC Shootout, fastest car wins that day. If you post a faster time on a different day that will be listed in an all time Fastest list, but the Shootout will be a different award.
On to the details:
1) Exterior must be stock. No fiberglass hoods, no ground effect kits, no custom paint jobs, no stickers, no custom exhaust tips, etc.
2) Interior must be stock. Nothing need function but it needs to be there. Radio, A/C, all stock seats, all panels, all gauges. No aftermarket shifters, visible gauges, etc. If you have gauges or switches they must be hidden (like in the glovebox or console.
3) Engine must look stock. All pulleys must be painted black. All accessories must be present. UD and OD pulleys are allowed on accessories only as long as they are painted black and look stock. Stock blower pulley must be used. Internal engine mods are not monitored but if it lopes it's out. As a guideline the motor should pull at least 15" of vacuum at idle.
4) The blower must appear stock from the outside. No MPII's or III's etc. No plenum's, TB's, CAI's, no custom paint or lettering, no polished or chrome parts. The only mod allowed is a C&L MAF to make injector changes easier. A stock MAF is prefered. Injectors must look stock and should be painted either blue or red to match the OE colors. IC must be stock, SC top must be stock, fans must be stock with no additional fans allowed. Radiator must be stock, no colored loom or SS braided lines. Stock exhaust manifolds required.
5) Exhaust system allows for a stock configuration upgrade. Up to 2.25" pipes and a 3" mid pipe are allowed. Must have cats, a resonator and rear mufflers that appear stock. The only aftermarket muffler that looks stock that I know of is the round body Dynomax muffler. Tips can be chrome if they exit in the stock location and have the OE looking slash cut like the Dynomax cat-back system does. Borla exhaust is not factory looking so it would not be allowed. The system must be non-obtrusive and should be more or less quiet as a person would expect from a stock(ish) SC.
6) No injection of any kind allowed. No water, no alcohol, no nitrous, no IC spray bars. Any kind of gasoline which is put in the gas tank is allowed. Battery must be in stock location. No external wiring allowed. If you have to run wires for anything they have to be hidden in stock looms.
7) Transmission is fairly open other than it has to look stock. C4's, deep sump pans, external wiring etc, are not allowed. Auxilary trans coolers should be out of sight. If I can't see them, they don't exist.
8) Rear end must look stock. No Mark VIII or Cobra rear ends. No big brakes, no drilled rotors, no custom suspension pieces, no air bags, no big sway bars.
9) Wheels must be stock. No exceptions. Tires must be 225/60/16's on all 4 corners. No exceptions. Car should be at or near stock ride height. Max deviation is 3/4". All suspension should appear stock.
The sponsorship portion of this event is that SuperCoupes Unlimited will offer to tune, for free, any car that legitimately competes in this event. This offer does not include tuning hardware nor does it include travel costs or expenses. What it does mean is that if you need tuning assistance via email, you show up at a regularly scheduled tuning session, or you meet with me at my place or at the track, I will help you tune your car. I work with EEC Tuners and SCT chips and I will also help you tune without any tuner if you so desire. I have datalogging equipment and if you wish to tune with a MAF extender or AFPR then so be it. There is a limit to how much time that will be available to each person, but lets see how many people step up first.
The goal of this challenge is to see what an SC can do. To be able to go to a local track, pull up beside some hapless stock pony car or musclecar and show them what an SC can do and when they ask what you've done to the car you can say "nuttin."
Let the games begin.
