I don't think so. I've been a subscriber for 2 or 3 years and I think
they try to sweep the gambit of cars. Some of them aren't performance
cars by any standard except maybe the corresponding model years, but
they play up how scarce the car is or whatnot. The magazine is more
of a 'restorer's' type magazine than a hot rodder mag.

I almost canceled last year because I was getting tired of the tedium
of reading about the designers and statistics and whatnot, but at the
last minute they dropped the subscription price and I said WTF.

In my opinion, I don't really mind the articles on the mid 80's cars.
Something different. Not muscle machines, but different none the
less...
