Old Car Craft article - Lateral-g Forums

Found this in one of my old Car Craft magazines. Kinda risky and outspoken considering where the hobby was going at the time.

I wonder if they knew then how big the import scene was going to be if they still would have printed that article.

Looks to be accurate 7 years later.

I have that article taped to my parts/tools cabinet in the basement!

I remember that.

The "import scene" was probably bigger when the article was written.

My buddy with a 11sec 512ci Duster took one of the tuner guys we hang out with for a ride(tuner guy has a low 13sec car) he screamed like a little girl.

When he asked what the weird sensation was in his stomach we both answered him "TORQUE"

Import scene is dead now.. or at least not near what it was. We killed a couple of import mags along with KIT CAR.

Most of the observations in that story are dead on true
