Default What exactly does sYc stand for?

I've never heard anybody say exactly. Is it short for Yenko Super Cars? Thanks, Dan

The fact is it is Yenko Sports Cars. If you would like to see the proof come to the reunion. All liturature states Yenko Sports Cars, all awards the same.

In the case of the club, it stands for "Yenko Sportscar Club", but Brian and Marlin are correct on what it originally stood for.

WHY DO I NEED TO ATTEND THE REUNION FOR THIS TO BE PROVEN TO ME? I HAVE ENOUGH LITERATURE MYSELF TO LOOK AT. I MERELY THOUGHT THAT IT MAY POSSIBLY HAVE MEANT SUPER CAR WHEN RELATED TO THE "YENKO CONVERTED" CARS.

Various old magazines from that era called it Yenko Super Car. Can't believe all that you read I guess because I always thought that was what the letters meant. A few years ago I found Central Office Production Order (COPO) in the front of a GM parts catalogue. Learn something new every day.

DID NOT SAY THAT I "KNOW", JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS THE MEANING WHEN APPLIED TO THE CONVERTED CARS. SORRY TO QUESTION YOUR "AUTHORITY". JUST REMEMBER THAT THE ONLY STUPID QUESTION IS THE ONE THAT IS NOT ASKED.ANYWAY, JUST BECAUSE YOU SAY SO DOES NOT CONVINCE ME IT IS THE INTENDED MEANING. WHEN DOES YOUR BOOK OF "FACTS" GET PUBLISHED, SO I DON'T EMBARASS MYSELF AGAIN! SERIOUSLY THOUGH, I COULDN"T CARE LESS WHAT IT STANDS FOR. I PERSONALLY HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYONE REFER TO THEIR CAR AS A "YENKO" AND "SPORTSCAR" IN THE SAME SENTENCE. SO WHERE AND WHEN DID THIS MEANING ORIGINATE? I STILL FEEL THE syc STANDS FOR SUPERCAR, AND SPORTSCAR REFERS TO THE BUSINESS NAME. PROVE ME WRONG. JUST FELT ONE STAB DESERVES ANOTHER. NOBODY LIKES A KNOW-IT-ALL!!!!

I guess you just didn't understand that I was trying to get you to go to the reunion and bring your car. I was not questioning your ideas. I thought it would be nice to see some more cars at the show. I will not post to any more of your responses...BKH
