Default Corvette Magazines

Every year I change magazine subscriptions due to the fact that they tend to get monotonious. I was wondering if anyone can recomend a mag. that features the most on C3 models. I prefer tech and speed articles to featured cars, that is unless there is ample tech info to give me ideas.

IMHO, none of the mainstream Corvette magazines due a good job of covering C3 tech. I looked at one today that had "Shark Tech Special" on the cover. All I could find inside was an article on a new carb base and an all aluminum big block buildup.

I much prefer the forum plus an ample sampling of "Chevy High Performance" for good articles on general tech, engine buildups and driveline stuff.

The CHP is the best Chevy tech mag and the forum is great with the exception of the OT posts about pools and rabbits.

racecar enginerring is the best magazine IMHO, but very technical

as far as C3 tech, i think some general car/hot rod mags would be more benifical. They discuss stuff in a more general way, such as how to modify small block chevys, and most project cars will be chevelles, novas, Fbodies or stangs, but still alot of good info.

I personally love Best of Tech, but i think its on 4 times a year or somethign
