      What Rags/magazines are worth the subscription these days?

      More related to pro-touring builds, LS? motors etc. First Gen Camaro's, Chevelles etc.

      Been out in euro land for so long and most of those mags are full of ads and very little real content.

      Thanks
      Tory

      It doesn't directly fit any of your stated criteria, but I really enjoy Grassroots Motorsports Magazine. It's expensive compared to the usual really cheap magazine subs, but that's because the magazine is actually funded by the readers instead of the guarantee of getting ad views. Definitely recommend.

      any magazine that fits what you like ;)

      I like Car Craft, PHR, Hot Rod, and quite a few others. Some months they may not all be exactly what I want, but over several titles I can always find some good stuff to read. I also save mags that I don't currently find stuff I'm interested in, as over time my interests change and I go back and re-read.

      I would say Popular Hot Rodding seems to have the most Pro-Touring content and they cover certain GoodGuys autocross events too.

      68 Firebird 400, 325 cfm Edelbrock heads, .628" solid roller, TKO 600 w/3.73's, Ridetech TruTurn and 4 link with HQ coil overs, Hotchkis Swaybars, Guldstrand mod, Baer 12" PBR 4wdb, Detroit Speed Subframe Connectors, 18x9.5 & 18x12 Apex EC-7's.

      Grassroots Motorsports, Hot Rod, Classic Motorsports, Camaro Performers, Classic Trucks, Good-Guys Gazette and by far the best & most expensive magazine and worth every penny is Vintage Motorsport!

      I find many different things of interest in each of these magazines. Some are stronger on the tech, some on the events, some on feature cars, some for the advertisers and Vintage Motorsports for the history and events.

      I am truly amazed to say that I find HOT ROD to be best of the main stream magazines. The last several years of HOT ROD have been varied in subject material and always interesting about the cars, personalities and events in our hobby. David Freiburger continues to do a very good job editing Hot Rod!

      Once again I now get LOT'S on rags every month. Most all have been purchased through screaming deals on http://www.magazineline.com/magazineline/homepage.htm. I have purchased many of our favorite rag titles on 5 for $20 deals for 1 year subscriptions or in the case of Vintage Motorsports with a $10 off coupon. Don't see a price you like on this site just wait as there are specials all the time.

      Check it out!
