I have almost every issue of this magazine, from way back in 1994 when it was bi-monthly, and there was no “& Super Fords” in the title. I have been a steady subscriber ever since. They have made one heck of a lot of progress in less than 15 years. They put out a lot of great info here, and you can tell the writers are serious Mustang freaks, as they should be. BUT.. there are a few little things that irritate me from time to time. I wish when they show how to install a part, they would do before & after dyno runs, AND 1/4 mile track runs, on every installation. Sometimes they do just the dyno run, so you don’t know how it actually affects performance. Also, I wish they would make it a rule to always point out when a modification will make the car unable to pass smog inspection.
In fairness, they do this sometimes, and all the other Mustang mags I have read are the same way.
They have articles here for people who just want to pep up their daily driver, and also articles for building a 9 second dragstrip terror, and everything in between. If only they would lean a little more toward the daily driver end of the spectrum, it’d be a perfect magazine, but as it is, it’s pretty close to perfect already. The only other gripe I have is they need to pay a LOT more attention to the V6 Mustangs, of all years!
