http://www.highperformancepontiac.com/ seen it the other day and had to subscribe !

From what I've heard, I think you will regret your subscription

I have been a non-stop subscriber since the Feb. 1982 issue.
And still enjoy each and every issue, which I still have.
It was known as "ThunderAm",before the name change to "High Performance Pontiac", and was mostly a Firebird publication, but over the years it has grown from a bi-monthly, to a monthly, added more pages, went full color, and branched out to all Pontiac models, new and old, as well as some GMC tid-bits.

Good choice,

Leon

I actually use to subscribe to them and recently cancelled it. I am sorry but the mag sucks and all it seems to have become is the same BS and worthless BS at that. Some S**t is outrageously impossible for a regular joe to do and my Gawd everything is about the LT1 and LS1. They seem to not realize fan fare spans back to the earlier cars. Also they waste about 10 or 15 pages a month showing off cars runnig against each other at the track and give worthless and endless info on what the car did for all three or four runs. But its like nothing. Not any proof, for instance Brad retarded timing 2* and lost 3/10ths of a second but then further down it says he was late on the gas and screwed up his tires bite. So they end it there, ok now wtf? was retarding the timing helpful and the late start hurt is what hurt his time or was the last run also a late start and infactr reterding the timing actually hurt his times? Get my point, I mean thier is nothing solid to actually learn. I am so sick of reading about LT4 conversions month after month. So for me the mag was a good ridance! For what little bit I did get from the mag it just wasn't worth the cover price to me.

its cool man i havent had a chance to read a issue yet so ill check that out when it gets here

You will probably like it for atleast the first year subscription and probably like it more then me because you drive a third gen and will get more out of their magazine, but fourth gen birds seem to prosper most from it. Us early second and first gen dudes seem to have been kicked to the curb especially when an older car isn't a GTO OR Can-Am.

i like the carbed engine builds and the restoration i seen on the web page but they need to take all that 4th gen stuff and put into gm high tech peformance , i mean its ok to have a article or two but im with you on focusing on the generations of the first second and third.

i just subscribed but sounds like it wont do me any good

If you go to their website you'll find a very nice mix of the different generations of Firebirds as well as other Pontiacs.
I like the Rag.

Im a CAR-CRAFT subscriber. I love that rag they do all the brands, have Real cars, (AKA a car that doesnt cost 100,000 to build) build stuff on a budget (and give you a price list to prove it.)

I have no subscriptions, I think ALL the magazines are well overpriced on the newstand, and I dont like it when I subscribe and then my subscription ends and they keep sendin me mags and a bill. Plus it seems with 99% of magazines you pay for the mag and 80% of the magazine is advertising. As much advertising as is in them, the price should be much much lower.
