Car and driver is my favorite. They are unbiased, and dont post crap numbers. There arent girls in it, and they dont vote Honda as truck AND car of the year...

Ok, heres my only gripe with all the mustang mags out there. It seems like all the articles, are either for 05+, or for cobras, which doesnt help me, and also when they finally do something with GT's, their results are either a) because they are using an engine dyno with no ac, accessories, or a maf, B)the results are complete bullcrap. I dunno, I finally got fed up with it.

I just know they used to not be, and I may catch hell for this, but IMO, Sport Compact car, and Grass Roots motorsports are two of the best damn magazines out there as far as content and tech articles. No BS, just car stuff. Hot Rod, I like, but for a while there, I was getting worried about that whole STi over Cobra article they published...

Dude, I totally agree with you! I got my last issue of MM&FF last month and didn't elect to renew it. I understand the 05+ stangs are the new style and the magazines are selling copies to a "new" mustang crowd....I don't like it much, but I get it and don't blame them....But I'm sure this is exactly how the fox body guys felt about our stangs. I'll just go to a book store every now and again and check them out.

I would have to say my favorite is Mustang Enthusiast. They have something about all the cars and don't just stick to drag racing.

YEah but if you think about it....when the 99-04's came out, 5.0 and MM&FF were all about them. Then all the 94-98 owners were mad, so it's kind of a trend to write about the new thing.
I personally like 5.0 and MM&FF. I thin kthey have great articles and the Ad pages are great.

And what do you mean you don't want to see girls....who doesn't. You don't have to marry them...but damn you gotta admit they are nice to look at sometimes. Just like some people like bacon with their eggs, i like girls with my cars. LOL

Thought I'd find this thread instead of making a new one...

I was looking at Mustang Enthusiast today and really enjoyed it, I think I might order a yearly subscription, any others like this one?
