Speaking of mag's....saw the latest issue of Camaro Performer's cover car at Autorama. Cool ***, purpose built 2nd gen, but needs some cosmetic attention under the hood

Snuck a pic of mine in there for giggles....




How I feel about both cars:

Some of the cars that are featured on there, I just have to ask myself why, when I know this badass thing could make a killer spread for it.
Was thinking about your post when I opened up this months GMHTP.....

Haha nice, I got mine last night but didnt have a chance to look at it. My old camaro was in street heat, I still feel you deserve a full feature though, get on it gmhtp!

I see some of the feature cars and think to myself, "really?" But hey to each there own. Congrats though sure it feels great, I was so stoked when I got the email from them about street heat and when it came out I went and picked up an extra copy haha.

I would take my old car being featured in the Street Heat vice an actual feature story as offense considering some of the junk cars they do features on. I can't imagine what Brent is feeling only being in the Street Heat section and his ride is 1000x better than 99.99% on here.

GMHTP, Brent deserves A FEATURE !!!!!!

As a GMHTP subscriber, I am definitely in agreement that this car needed a full feature instead of the Street Heat article. This car is too nice for a small photo like that.

Agreed. Not only is this car beautiful in design, assembly, and pictures, but the owner is also an active member of the F-body community. Definitely worthy of a feature.

Lol...actually toning it down in focusing on the nitty gritty ****. Sold off the AC drier / lines.....not sure who I was kidding, wasn't gonna run AC anyway. The void will be replaced in addition to adding a little billet and powder in places. Reeeeally stoked in how I think it will look....
