Think I still have a couple Super Streets from back in '09...also the last time I ever grabbed a new copy of a car magazine.

Bebop · 02-03-2011, 04:37 PM

Actually Read:

Grassroots motorsports

Too look at pictures:

D-Sport

But print media dead lol.

2JZdude · 02-03-2011, 04:40 PM

Turbo or Access Unlimited Mag

ALI's DRIFT GARAGE · 02-03-2011, 04:54 PM

Wait...the magazine where they're like..."Hey fool! I'm media, I don't care if it's your event, I don't car if it's your car, don't mess with me, I do what I want...I DO WHAT I WANT! I ask girls to take pictures with most of their clothes off and flirt with them so maybe one of the chunky ones will give my insecure a$$ some action...I'll be nice to your face and diss you behind your back while I hang out with all the dudes who wear the same clothes as me and want to swing from my nuts" ...that one?

delicious steve · 02-03-2011, 09:15 PM

only magazine I read/subscribe to is GRM.

I occasionally flip through others at friends houses but they all are written for the lowest common denominator. I do like what S3 is doing these days. www.S3mag.com

Jonny Fonseca · 02-03-2011, 10:12 PM

Since I'm broke I haven't read any lol I used to like SuperStreet, dsport, modified... but I live in a stuck up part of Atlanta so only mags i see in walgreens are road & track and A dsport magazine i think from march that has a dvd still in it lol .... I did buy superstreets December issue cuz they covered a Drift Event in Puerto Rico from ... may ... Thanks SS for those 2 pages! lol

Slapshotnerd · 02-03-2011, 10:17 PM

Justin Banner · 02-04-2011, 04:51 AM

LMFAO!!! Soooo true

alex · 02-04-2011, 09:54 AM

whichever magazine includes a good calendar or poster!

a parts guide and detailed tech features are a +

Piner · 02-04-2011, 11:34 AM

well I used to read sport compact car... but they axed it. So now I read motoIQ and online mags.

Sometimes I'll pick up a road & track, car and driver or motortrend to see whats going on with new cars but otherwise most import mags are just there for the pretty pictures.

killer406 · 02-04-2011, 11:45 AM

Car Craft, cause it's aimed at the DIY'er, loads of tech stuff, and builds done a realistic budgets. Hot Rod once in a while, but I don't care for the "built-with-a-blank-check" feature cars.

02-05-2011, 03:03 PM

NZ Performance Car - http://www.performancecar.co.nz - is pretty strong on the New Zealand drift scene cos they also run the NZ Drift Series/NZ Drift Nationals

AE86_Fan · 02-07-2011, 11:38 AM

PasMag is the only publication i still buy on the regular, every once in a while Project Car... but i prefer online publications more.

Cavi Mike · 02-09-2011, 04:20 PM

Super Street yo!

Actually I used to read that a lot but F&F ruined it all for me. Maybe a Modified or Project Car here and there but I don't pay much attention to rags anymore.

Bebop · 02-09-2011, 08:45 PM

Project Car would have been such a good idea 6 to 8 years ago

But 95% of what they cover is all on forums, I have every single issue and its rare I find something that I vaguely didn't know about.

I think we need a straight up, unbiased drifting magazine. Pref online, but willing to subscribe to something like a English version of "Option" or "Doriten".

Just like newspapers, magazines either need to go digital, or RIP.

YOitzJDM · 02-10-2011, 11:42 AM

wrecked magazine is my favorite magazine

markyd0s · 02-22-2011, 03:03 PM

1.Super Street for detail and car specs.
2. Import Tuner to look at pretty cars and chicks.
3.Motor Trend for everything else I might have missed.

3gInOc · 02-22-2011, 10:18 PM

i have subs to:
D sport - clean easy to read layout. high quality paper. dvd's!!!!
pas - good mix of everything
Import tuner & modified - just because. every know and then i find something interesting.

the info is pretty much the same in all of them. but the parts guides in pas and dsport are the best. dsport has dvd's that kick major *Censored**Censored**Censored* even though its pretty much just a video version of the magazine. the quality of paper dsport uses is better then everyone else. it matters to me since i actually had to pay for it.
