I got to see Vinnie's copy last night. We're all blown away by the photography. Thank you Nick and Steve for an awesome feature as well as extensive coverage in the Year One section. If anyone is having trouble finding the magazine, I suggest that you start at your local speed shop. They usually get advanced copies.

You guys rock!

Actually a lot of members are in this issue when you look at the Reader's Rides section, F-body garage and the Year One coverage.

Someday I will get to see it. I even subscribed in hopes of getting an early copy.

When I went thru this issue , I was already thinking it was an extension/hard copy of this forum . . . .

If you would like an early copy, you might consider moving to the Netherlands? However getting (real) cool parts and even normal (expendable) parts is sligthly more difficult and expensive. Gas is approx. $9,- / gallon but other than that,you can get almost anything around here . . . .

I finally got my box of mags in.. We keep fine tuning the look of the magazine and this one came out pretty nice.

And there's so many members in it because the theme is "PRO TOURING RAGES ON!"

So buy an issue, because if it tanks the anti-PT sect will push the pro-street deal.

Although in general we try to mix it up as much as we can.

"Anti-PT".....do you mean there is something else out there besides Pro-Touring.:worship:

I got my issue, didn't look at it, took it to work and got called home early, leaving it there. Now I'll have a good reason to go back.

Congrats, Vinnie, I talked with you a few times at the show and at dinner. Killer Hot Rod you have. I'll see more of it at RTTH.

Steven, thank you for the ink in Readers Rides. That was a surprise. It's really cool to be in the same issue as the Year One Experience coverage, and among some of the baddest Camaros around!

Hey Jeff,
'Bout time...

If all else fails, keep trying Walmart. If they haven't stocked it yet, it will be on the shelves soon.

Thanks Steve C. Year One was a fun event.
Still feel bad about the Cone Thing. Not so much for your car, but the cone(s). lol

Congrats Vin! Camaro Performers is getting better content all the time. I subscribed a few days ago and talked another buddy into subscribing today.

Great issue Nick and Steven! The magazine has turned a 360 from a few years ago. I had to go to the store, they put them on the shelf today. I bought 2 copies. I left a few there. :)

Tony Huntimer

For those who may not know, Tony here is now doing a tech column in the magazine called "Tony's Toolbox." He does a fantastic job of answering common and intricate reader questions. It's a great mix that we think will have wide reader appeal.
Great job this month Tony.

I can get you a few mags, but it will have to come out of your pay. kidding....

Now I can send off my PHR and Camaro Performers to be mounted. Too cool!!!!!

Now that I know you and Tony are on board at Camaro Performers, I will subscribe! More yhird gen articles, please.

Whoops, make that third gen articles!

Steve1968LS2

07-28-2008, 07:10 AM

Whoops, make that third gen articles!
CB

We try to do third gen stuff, but it isn't all that easy. There's a lack of aftermarket support and compared to the other gens there's a lack of high quality feature cars.

As they grow in popularity I'm sure that will change, but for now we strive to have SOME 3rd gen content in each issue. There's an exhaust story in this one and a drag car feature.

Next issue has a Hotchkis install and track test along with some TPI tech.

We're not just '69 Camaros, although it may seem that way at times. lol

Hell, you own a Camaro.. buy a darn subscription (besides, it's the cheaper way to go)

Did I mention that subscribers move to the front of the line in regards to getting ink? lol

I planned on sending in that little cardboard card that falls out 3 or 4 times while I am reading a magazine. :naughty: Plus I wanted to see Vinnies spread vs waiting a few months.

Just subscibe on the website www.camaroperformers.com (http://www.camaroperformers.com) --- that's how I did it. No card needed so it's the "green" way to go. lol

We've only had the website up for a couple of months. Right now it sorta sucks but we are working to populate it with more current articles. Eventually we will have video and stuff.

The best part right now is the subscribe function.

If you go on www.camaroperformers.com (http://www.camaroperformers.com) and then click on subscriptions you will see a section called "subscribers services". That should have an 800 number to call and ask what's up.

PM me your address and I will send you the last two issues.

I got to read the issue yesterday. Great write up on Vinny. I got to go for a blast in that beast last year at RTH3 and it is just as advertised. I can only imagine what it's like with the bigger shoes out back and the happy gas under the hood.
