Default MM&FF

Now don't get me wrong...I love GM high tech performance magazine ALOT. But Muscle Mustang and Fast Fords is a well put together magazine and catches my eye everytime I see it. Lot's of great tech info and really good profiles on cars...It's just the wrong manufacturer

It would be easier to name all the magazines that Primedia doesn't own rather than all the titles that they do own.

I subscribe to GMHTP and 5.0 Mustang & Fast Fords, and to me they're about neck and neck.

It is a good magazine but you just can't find any LS1 info in it. Go figure....

I subscribed to MM&FF for years (I've owned two 5.0 Fox Stangs) and it is a very good magazine. They have a much larger fan-base, which allows them to be a larger and somewhat better magazine than GMHTP (which I currently subscribe to). However, they (like almost every mag currently out there) are becoming a slave to their advertisers. I hope that trend doesn't continue...

i like GMHTP better than super chevy.. super chevy is a POS magazine. when was the last time they even mentioned anything about an LS1 besides just having one in the background of a carshow? GMHTP is a cool magazine. but it needs more than 50 pages.. and im not talking about our largest issues yet..and its only 55 pages..lol.. and it needs a better tech advice section, which ive noticed isnt even in there anymore.. and GMHTP needs to start having some head to head dynos between catbacks, headers, heads, and cams!! they dont make any fbodys anymore, so the least they can do is make a better magazine..

yeah all this is true...I subscribe to GMHTP as well. I am thinking about subscribing to MM&FF just because I can get an upper hand on the competition

It always makes me sick looking at how big the MM&FF magazines are and looking at the GMHTP magazine or Super Chevy and how small they are. There is always all kinds of great information and tech stuff in the MM&FF. One of my friends has a 95GT and gets the magazine so I just look through it when he's got it. It would be nice to have some kind of F-Body performace magazine where it was nothing but LT1, LSX stuff and be a chalk full of all kinds of project cars, tech articles, show cars and features, even some pages with Fbody drag cars. The Camaro Performers magazine is pretty cool but its just not big enough to suite my tastes.
