Hey new to the forum, and thought I would show some pics of the Korea GT Grand Prix. Have not seen any posts on this yet!

Go Sportages

Wow, that black, & yellow Sportage looks Badass!

Plus, it looks like an LX, or Ex, because of the grill design?

I bet my (flame) orange Sporty would look great with that blackout design.

I'd really like to see 20 or so of them charging around Mt Panorama, Bathurst, NSW. Been up the mountain in mine observing the posted 50kmh, and it is near on impossible to maintain in some sections. Gives a whole new appreciation of the pilots of V8 Supercars, etc., that charge through the Esses, the Dipper, etc., at the speeds they do!

Looks awesome. Glad to see the Sportages getting some recognition like that.

Looks good thanks for sharing the pics.

Korea GT SUV Engine Upgrades?

Not sure what the race spec SSC Sportage has in regards to engine mods. I have looked on a few sites but I can't read Korean!

If I had it my way. I would drop in an General Motors LS Motor, Moded by Nelson Racing & Engineering. If you check out there videos on youtube you would see what I mean. Or if gas mileage is really an issue, just do Stock LS crate motor transplant. All in all if you are going to go the engine mod route. You might as well go with power and reliability. And anyone with car knowledge will tell you, The GM small block is IT!!!
