Hello from Chevy High Performance
 

Hi there. I've been more of a lurker, but wanted to take this time to get some input from all of you.

For those of you who read the magazine, what do you like and what don't you like? What type of articles would you like to see in the future? Do the cars we feature peak your interest? If not, what would you prefer? How about motorsports - in other words, would you like to see more on drag racing and open track type of testing. What kind of engine builds would you like to read about? The list can go on and on, but I'm sure you get the idea by now.

If you've ever wanted to voice your opinion, now's the time. Lets hear your thoughts.

Best Regards,
Henry D

Welcome Henry!

I enjoy your mag, I actually have bought quite a few issues. For event coverage... I think some open track events that are "bring what you have" type deals would be cool. There are a ton of kickass cars that are only seen in the smaller events. It's always cool to see a car that is ripping the road up but no one has seen it before!

Henry D!
 

Hey man,

Good to see you're still goin' at it. I saw you at SEMA walking by, but I didn't get to say hello, so Hello! Hope you're well!

Hi Henry, I didn't realize you had signed up. It's great to have you on board.

Something that I'd like to see is quantifying of mods - any mods; motor, transmission, braking, chassis, etc. It would be cool if you had the baseline 1/4 mile, 0-60, 60-0 braking, skid pad/Lateral-g, etc, for stock Camaros, Chevelles, Mustangs, etc, and printed the comparison hard numbers of before and after in a sidebar in the tech articles so a guy could see how much better over stock a certain mod is and then can weigh the cost vs. performance of the mod. Over time a large database would be accumulated and be a neat tool to draw real numbers from.

As for motorsports coverage... I've seen/read enough results and stats to fill an entire set of encyclopedias. lol What would be cool is if you just picked somebody out and followed them along for the weekend and wrote the story of how it went for them. A lot of times the stories of the thrash just to make the show is more interesting than who won. I think that would be interesting regardless of what class they're competing in. Think of it as a print version of NBS 24/7. For instance, the stories of what happened between stops during Hot Rod Drag Week was more interesting than what the winners actually ran at the track. But hey, that's just me.

That might be enough from me for now. lol

I've been a loooong time reader of CHP, so welcome to Lateral-g, Henry.

I personally would like to see more g-machine type tech (Suspension, brake, steering and tire upgrades) as well as documenting your results on the skidpad, slalom, and the dragstrip.

Oh, and I know a ton of people would like to see a performance comparison between all of the aftermarket 1st gen Camaro subframes.

I like your magizine and have had a subriscription for a while now. In the mag I would like to see more affordable cars instead of the usual magizine mega high dollar cars. Also a article on how to make a high revving small block would be cool.

Oh, and welcome to the board.

Welcome aboard Henry! CHP is and has been one of my must read mags I get every month. I just renewed for 2 years last week as a matter of fact. I enjoy reading all the tech articles & features. You seen to have a wide diversity of cars you feature. Keep up the good work!!

Glad to have you around.

It was mentioned above, but hard data is always good to see.

As far as motorsports... drag racing is pretty well represented in other mags. How about showing PT type vehicles at auto-x, open road racing and the like. Perhaps build and campaign a NASA American Iron car?

Bring back Smith, lose the truck stuff.

Welcome. I too am a long-term subscriber.

I'd like to see more depth to the car feature coverage and tech article write-ups. It currently seems enough to appeal to the casual reader. Having said that, I'm sure it's difficult to find your niche but I'm always interested in all the facts including problems uncovered.

To second the above, quantification of any change would be terrific.

Hi Henry,

I would like to see more g-bodies with the pro-touring style done to them, Like mine :unibrow:
