I read it, or it may have been a different issue. Is it like an on-going thing? I thought the one I read had a black '67 Firebird on the cover.

Bunch of BS if you ask me. I've learned quite a bit since I've been on here. I can't say I've learned a damn thing reading all my HPP, and GMHTP mags.

That and the fact that they keep trying to screw me on issues. I've called up and demanded issues so many times...

I'm a bit of a newbie, and I sure feel relieved that I'm not the only one that thinks some of their do's and don't weren't quite right

Problem with a lot of magazines is that they are satisfied with skewed and mediocre results. I am not saying they pander to manufacturers but in many cases the author of so the story is getting the parts for free or hookin' up a buddy.

I found a lot of the TGOW articles in GMHTP frustrating because they should have went 12.7's and not 13.1's with that stuff.

Hot Rod has impressed me the most with respect to technical content. There is a bit of Mustang bias (I think some of them have stangs) but they still know what is fast and what is lame.

LOL
I think of that sound they use in old movies when they had a breaking story. I can't make it on the computer so you will have to use your imagination.

The LS1 communtiy needs a magazine like Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords. That is a damn good mag for tech, vendors, and entertainment in general. It took that magazine well over 10 years to get to it's current stage. Imagine what an LS1, LS6, LS2 mag could do in 10 years in the right hands!
