Stick to your escort, much better platform besides aftermarket support. Might wanna get rid of that cute turbo and invest in something with better flow characteristics.
    ok.

        It's an editorial guys. Now we know what HE thinks about anything that isn't a turbo Supra, a Honda, or a Nissan.

        Turbo is one of the few mags I try to pick up every month because I still feel I learn something from it. The others are SCC and TPR.

            Interesting.. I've never seen it at any newstands around here. Are they subscription only or what?

            But I would still like to see what would happen if Turbo got a **** tonne of letters about that peice. I would hope anyone who writes in would keep it sensible and not take it upon themselves to resort to hating, threats, and/or boycots as I've read before in other magazines from other clubs. I wonder if they would print any of them?

              you've never seen grassroots motorsports?

              newsstands usually don't carry it, but a bookstore would.

                Hadn't heard of it 'til you first mentioned it. Googled it and looks like a good mag. I usually go to a 7-Eleven or Short Stop to grab a magazine. I'll have to check Chapters or something when I get a chance.

                  There is no point to their argument.
                  they shouldve put .. a 94 escort GT stock can whoope/Rape/Kill/massacre/etc,etc, a 94 civic coupe STOCK on stock .. any day ....yes and its still a escort gt.

                    amen... that was a pretty retarded comment from TURBO IMHO.

                      wtf! every car in the world is still the same car if it has a hardcore motor or not. douche bag haters. at least Sport Compact Car liked my car. granted the reason they gave was "we like different". but atleast they know when i submitted my pic to them i listed gtx stuff and tehy knew what the hell i had. turbo mag is gay in my eyes. i have never really liked them to much. unless its datsun/nissan or toyota they don't care.

                      on a side note my red car when n/a would kill ls swapped civic coupes daily and hang with gsr's. i don't know why but it did. then it agian it ran a 15.5 when it had 140,000 miles on it.

                        i see stupid people... and they make me laugh i think this fool should tune cars, before he thinks his word rules over all...

                        ultimately though im fine with it, because it just discourages one more person from doing anything leaving me just that much more different. also allowing me to BLOW people away when they think and escort is just an escort especially when i blow them away with 9-11psi on a STOCK motor.

                        i think as mentioned we should refrain from saying slander though, while they might be narrow minded pricks, i think it wont say anything positave about our community to flood them with letters calling them names... we can leave them to their special world and we can continue on in ours.
                        There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
