Would have been a sad day. One of the few magazines I read. Not that GMHTP is completely innocent of this, but every other magazine seems to feature another one of the endless sea of late 60's Camaro's. To me every 4th gen build seems unique in it's own way.

As to another persons question of what other ls based magazines are out there. "Camaro Performers" It only comes out every three months I believe but seems to focus on 4th gen Camaro's and Trans Ams.

I didn't know there was a "High tech perf" mag and never asked about one and they responded with that so it's obviously a knuckle headed mix up on their end. Sorry for the scare guys. GMHTP Lives ON!
If you're talking about the Rx7, don't waste your time. It's for GM vehicles only. I already asked

Yeah, that's what I've heard. Doesn't make a bit of sense though if you ask me. That's what adds flavor to the LS engine series; putting them into different and shall I say -possibly "better" chassis... I had a TT TransAm, this RX7 is in a WHOLE different league. One day they'll run out of TransAms, Camaros, and Vettes to feature and they'll start looking to add some spice to the mag....one day.

Amen We can only hope.

You've obviously got a magazine worthy car, looks-wise and performance-wise, when mine's done in the spring, it certainly will be as well. They just don't know what they're missing out on Dare I say they feel threatened by the FD's? JUST KIDDING, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T KILL ME... or am I

Good luck with your build. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Mine should be done in May.

I built one of the first supercharged LS-powered 1969 Camaros, it made the cover of Popular Hotrodding and was also featured in Chevy High Perf. It went 10s in the quarter, and completed the Hotrod Power Tour long haul (3500 miles). It was a GM body with a late model GM engine....and it still wasn't a candidate for GMHTP. I'm not sure they are willing to feature an import, even if it is GM powered.
