''Sport Compact Car'' (SCC) is published monthly by Primedia Inc. , and as of 2006 is in its eighteenth year of continuous publication. ULTIMATE STREET CAR CHALLENGE The Ultimate Street Car Challenge is an annual car comparison put on by ''Sport Compact Car'' magazine. The entrants are tuned cars mostly of Japanese origin (fitting with the focus of SCC) that are ostensibly voted in by readers but selected by the editors. They must be street-legal, and are rated on a number of attributes including the base price, car show ability, drivability, emissions, fuel mileage, a grandma test (to determine if a grandmother would find it an acceptable means of transportation), gross display of horsepower (a burnout contest), a guru panel, peak power, power delivery, a road course, the standing quarter mile (400 m), 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) acceleration, a 60 m (200 ft) skidpad, and 100-0 km/h (60-0 mph) braking distance.
