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.

Didja ever notice that a car build or test article was immediately followed by a multi-page advertisement of the company who manufactured the parts used or tested in said build?

I was at Gigliotti's shop one day helping build one of his WC Vettes when Johnny Hunkins called and basically offered a reduced advertising rate in exchange for a supply of F-Body suspension goodies for an article in GHHTP. My bubble was burst.

They install a full line of BMR suspension parts and ... BAM ... 4 pages of BMR advertising.
Have a tire shoot-out between three or four of the major brands and ... BAM ... 4 pages of Tirerack.com advertising.

And the conclusions were so predictable ... "could feel the BMR suspension working as the car felt more planted and stable." what?

"The Toyo tire didn't grip as well as the Hoosier and the Hoosier didn't have the life span that the Toyo had. But in a straight line, both performed equally well." What?
