Best Magazine?
My subscription is almost up for Corvette Fever magazine, and I was wondering what else is out there?
I'm more interested in "how to" articles and C3 stuff than the latest bolt on plastic thing for a C5 or C6.

Isn't that the truth. I still think CF does a pretty good job on the C3 cars. They have to sell magazines and there are a lot of C5 cars out there. I wish there was a C3 magazine only but I don't think there is enough out there to support one.

Roadster,
I wrote a review for a similar post a week or two ago. Might want to check it out:

I think C/F probably has more C3 articles, but the others have C3 articles too. When they do, I think they do a great job.

I like Chevy High Performance because it deals with Chevy only. And the only good part is you get to see new stuff that is on the market mainly.
But to me there is NOT one magazine that can compete with the CORVETTE FORUM. Everything here is up to date along with people willing to help. How in the world can you beat that? There is no way.

The problem with all of the American magazines is that on page 79, there will be an article about how product XYZ will increase horsepower by 48% and is easily installed. Then on page 80 there is an ad for product XYZ. Coincidence?

Tell me more about this supporting vendor stuff.
How does one find out about it.
I agree with you that I get more information and better quality of info on this forum than any of the Corvette Mags and I have subscribed to them all over the years since I am getting up there age wise and have been reading about Vettes since I was 14 which seems like 100 years ago.

VETTE lately has been doing the C3 L88 racers.This month they have the James Garner AIR 68 L88 written by Wayne Ellwood founder of the now distinct SHARK QUARTERLY and the August 05 issue was loaded with SHARK racers.Corvette Fever is probably my favorite as well as Corvette Enthusiast,but i do agree the FORUM is great...JERRY

I've been getting CF for almost 20 years,still have them in storage. The early issues were much better then recent years. I've seen some poorly written tech articles on rebuilding rear bearings, differentials and other jobs. I no longer subscribe to any of them.

I AGREE, CF is the best place for info and help anywhere, any time.
and most of the people here are more than willing to help.
