There's a lot to to write about like all the stuff that gets posted and talked about here fuelsystem upgrades, cage installs. Low budget builds, highdollar builds, suspension setups for autocross, track, and street.

There's a lot it's just someone to do it.
maybe a GmHighTech sister magazine.

It would be hard to do monthly but it could be done every other month or 3-5 times a year. I was an editor in chief for my college newspaper and we did a bi monthly "mag" too that focused on the school activities and clubs. We have enough people here to get few magazines filled. We would need advertising to offset costs. I still have publishing contacts and a contact with an automotive photographer that does a lot for corvettes. It would prob be best to make it an e-zine where we can publish how tos that members can submit and and editor can polish for publication. We could do photoshoots and articles on members cars at first and then branch out. The e zine could be published on the ltx server (if they have space) and cross promoted via the forum ,Facebook , etc. Just throwing out ideas

No prob, and yeah it is a lowering term used mainly by the Eruo crowd.. like the Vdubs withthe camber set to 45 degrees, stretched tires, and the car litterally scraping the ground

also I will ask my buddy that is friends with the photographer and see what his deal is. I would be willing to work on an e-zine as time permits as long as it is ok that it is not a monthly thing. I could see atleast 1-2 feature cars a few times a year and a few tech articles as well as maybe some product reviews. I would throw it out to any car with a ltx transplant. Could also be a good way to start a "registry" of sorts for the lt based A,B,Y,G, F-bodies as well as hotrods, race cars, exotics,etc. Be good to try to track down where they all are. Maybe would could eventually get some advertisers?

If we do it every other month or quarterly I will do the editing and send it to whoever wants to do the web based markup. I'll let you know what I can do for a photographer. Like I said I may be able to do a few east coast cars in the near future for "feature" cars. As for the how to's and write ups we need to rely on the author to take good pics.

I vote for me cause I did it and have a minor in English.. but I vote for Sean too. Can always have 2 editors or more. Plus as an editor you don't really write. You fix others writing and make sure it fits in context of the subject matter. When i did the college paper I spent 90% of my time marking up stories and doing final layout prior to printing. My editorials were usually very political and got me in trouble with the dean. I did a scathing article on how bad our registration system was. The people in the registrars office loved it cause it pointed out how things needed to be fixed. The dean thought it was demeaning to the registrar. It only got worse from there. My paper was shut down 2x but brought back every time. It was fun!!

Well i thought about that too. We could have like 3 pages. One for "feature" cars, one for Tech ( that would cover how to, DIY, the aftermarket, apearance, etc) and one for the general maintenance and ltx tips. We could then easily archive the content and start the "registry" idea. NEed to start small and simple. Lots of tech and maintenance ideas could come from content already on the forums. The features would start as member cars and then branch out. Just spitballing
