Not for much longer.

GM High-Tech Performance is dead, or will be after the Aug issue.

I used to subscribe to the print version, but dropped that a few years ago. I would pick up one off the news stand when I saw something I liked, but last year I re-uped for the digital version.

I liked that they covered cars without carbs and didn't just focus on strait line cars, but there articles were always thin, just covering the surface and missing a lot of the cool details. The also spent so much focus on the pretty cars and not covering much in the cool and fast cars that didn't have flawless paint. There are a load of subject I wish they had covered, but that would have required deep articles on things like how they actually tuned the ecu for the latest engine they built for a project car.

Another member of the print media falls. They weren't the first and I'm sure they won't be the last.

There are several more titles that are no more to include Camaro Performers, Chevy High Performance, Pontiac High Performance, and a few more. In addition to shutting down certain magazines, they shut down Source Interlink distribution which is how they got the magazines to stores. Also, Source Interlink Media is now known as TEN, or "The Enthusiast Network". The brands they kept are located on this home page of their new website. The Enthusiast Network
