Along with about 10 other mags including Popular Hotrodding.
Expect the August issue to be the last one ever.

Hmm, I don't honestly see any of the bigger mags providing Shootout coverage.
I doubt anyone will see a refund, especially if there was any bankruptcy talk in anything you read.

Heard they got the axe today, really sad. The years after Hunkins left was a bit lack luster but they seemed to be coming back, expanding coverage and headed down the right track. I have tons of old GM High Techs from High school, I would buy them at MTI in Houston when a new issue would come out. I would read every feature on built up LT1 F-bodies and I still go back and re-read old issues about some of my favorite cars they featured.

Wow that would we an interesting collection to read... I just subscribed like 5 months ago :( it sure was cool when they threw a lt1 car in.. they were sure heavily predicated on ls stuff which I can't blame them.

Oh there's some great LT1 articles from the late 90's and early 2000's. Thunderchicken, several blown cars, Jordon Musser's car among others. Funny part is they're ALL tame by today's standards.

THUNDERCHICKEN! The solid roller car right?
Fastbird
05-30-2014, 09:13 PM
Nope, that was the 93 396 striker built by MTI. The solid roller car was Jordon Musser's black 94 Z28.

You'd have to send an email to the guys at Super Chevy. Apparently GMHTP got incorporated into that magazine. Not sure what guys/gals that worked on GMHTP are now working within Super Chevy if any of them at all are.

Well our shootout was the only reason I subscribed to GMHTP.

Whats screwed up with Jordan's old car was, when it was featured it just had some run of the mill 355. The good motor was long sold. Some one local's friend bought that car, it sat at HPE for a while. I saw Johnny's 93 when it went to MTI for the refresh, if it wasn't in the magazines or yellow it wasn't really any different than any other LT1 Formula. It's crazy I saw so many bad ass LT1s come out of MTI and make it in that magazine. I was eating dinner with a guy who had a SR MTI 396 LT4, made 700+ on nitrous in 02 or so. He has a UGR TT Lambo now among others, but I was telling him if it wasn't for all those cars, no way I would kept my 93 this long. Those cars in that magazine were a big reason I like LT1s as much as I do.

I talked to FSC (fastest Street Car) magazine the publication of the NMCA about covering last year. They said they couldn't send anyone out but if we wrote up a review and sent in pics they'd put it in the next issue. It was never done out of respect for GMHTP, since they've been with the event since the start they were given exclusive coverage. So FSC is always an option but I don't know how to get a hard copy without being an NMCA member. They do post the magazine online though.
