This is probably one of the best issues ever, if you like fast stock block Gen III motored drag cars. Some awesome F bodys and Corvettes in here. WJ

It was a good article, but the shootout took place in November 2003. LSx stuff a come along quite a bit. I wouldn't take much stock in that fastest claim.

Those are still some of the fastest in the country for their relatively mild mods. WJ

Hmmm, I've been subscribing to GM High-Tech since 1999 and have never had a problem. My magazine always arrives at least 1 week before it hits the newsstands. They were writing about LS-1's when no one else knew what one was....Think I've gotten way more tips from this mag regarding gen III motors and 4th gen F bodies than any other mag. I also subscribe to Chevy High Performance and Car Craft. Tried most of the rest, but I get the most knowledge from these 3.... WJ

no doubt tat is one of the best mags but I like tips also so that's why I either get it from B&N rather that waiting to see if it comes in or not. The weird thin is I never miss any of the othe subs I get. And I like reading GM-Hight Tech mort than the rest. I just don't get why it's either missing or late. Like I said I only got 3 last year in the mail and two showed up a week apart. weird

I would shoot them a email and complain. Bet they will give you a free year, or some compensation for the hassle..... WJ

I had the same problems...missed issues, late issues, then I would get an issues after it was out on the news stands for a month . Their coustomer service really sucks...I call to complain and all I got was excuses...I just never renewed and look for it on the stands..If i find it I usually buy it..if not then oh well .

My issues show up about a month late. The new one is on the newsstand and I get last months in the mail. What a joke.

i have only missed one issue, and i have been getting them since 99 as well!

im usually the same week as news stands, somtimes befor sometimes after, but it beets tring to remember the day they com e in to go pick one up.
i like the mag, but it takes them a while to put out stories sometimes.
