Skunk2 Racing is renowned for building record setting race and project cars that push the envelope of performance. In this section you will get a close-up look at some of what is contained in our corral of favorites. As serious enthusiasts ourselves, we hope you enjoy taking a look at what we like to do most.
TEAM DEVELOPED - SKUNK2 RACING
In 1996 we developed parts for several championship touring car teams in Asia; supplying them with racing cams, valvetrain, and various suspension parts. In 1997 we began supplying parts to Honda touring cars in the USA, racing in the Speedvision World Challenge series. Also in 1997, the decision was made to build Project Beta (aka the Skunk2 Integra), a road-race car converted into an All-Motor drag race car utilizing the parts we had developed for touring car racing. Little did we know that Beta would help pioneer the All-Motor class and revolutionize import drag racing. In 1999 we continued in drag racing with a perfect season. Then in 2000, the Skunk2 Integra was the first naturally aspirated car to run 10 seconds; it would take another year and a half for the competition to do the same.
2000 also marked the beginning of our active involvement in World Challenge racing. In 2000, 2001, and 2002 all Hondas finishing on the podium in World Challenge utilized Skunk2 parts or Skunk2 engines. In 2003 we moved to a new state-of-the-art facility in Southern California that marked the birthplace of the potent Civic RR and SiR.
The introduction of Project Delta and K-Power engines marked the return of Skunk2 to the drag racing; as we finished the year with 4 wins out of 5 races with 4 new records. 2005 marked the return of Project Beta and the Skunk2 Team once again redefined the standard of speed and performance by smashing its own records.
For 2006 Skunk2 introduced the M3 Killer TSX, the 650 whp RSX-T, the race bred Civic SiR2 Time Attacker, and the wicked little Fit R. 2007 promises to be another amazing year as Skunk2 prepares to unveil several new and exciting project vehicles. We want to thank all the people that help make these vehicles possible, especially our sponsors and our team members. And we also want to say thank you to all of our loyal fans and customers!
