ChevyHighPerformance Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I proposed some new stuff to the editor. The new editor says the new style of Chevy High Performance magazine is it. If you looked at the latest version, 69 Camaros galore, essentially nothing newer (there was a picture of an 85 IROC). The editor said it would be a while before any newer engine (LS1 or newer) articles will be done. This means no more trucks. They still haven't printed the zippy event from last year. I see this as a kick in the balls considering all of the support you have given them. I expressed my extreme displeasure with them regarding not publishing the zippy event even after they told me it would be published. If you think that they are making a mistake, e-mail them. Your voices were heard before and a separate truck section resulted. [email protected] I'm not sprouting wood over putting air bags in a 1st gen Camaro, remote cutouts on a 67 Chevelle, disc brakes on a 69 Z28, or Flowmasters on a 69 Z28.

OddBall Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Now if they did a new build of a 69 it might be interesting. Of course for me that would have to be with all new parts, from the chassis up and a modern drivetrain (resto-mods rule). I personally think the magazine publishers should just go digital. It could be done better than a printed mag but even if they decided to it would get screwed up somehow. I stopped all my mag subscriptions last year. The truck oriented ones are basically advertiser catalogs with a couple pages of articles. whoopie Sounds like your in for a boring life for a while. Maybe after this guy's ideas fall flat you'll get a shot at leading. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowtie70SS Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 WOW a 69 Camaro buildup! I am a lover of the old muscle cars...I have a 70 SS396 Elcamino and a 70 SS454 Chevelle. You guys at CHP keep beating a dead horse. I would much rather see the high performance truck section and some builds on perhaps a 78-81 Malibu or some other later model car . Maybe some detailed sheetmetal replacement on Chevelles, Montes, LATER model Camaros. You guys only get cars that have door dings and minor dents. Try living in Ohio where everything 15 years old is rusty...what you guys consider rough I'd be happy to have. I always love LS1 transplants and OD swap articles, but c'mon a Camaro? Hell you can't even buy one any more for under 10k unless it's junk. And here I thought you guys were coming around.
