Default New Sport Z magazine

I got my first copy of Sport Z magazine and I truly impressed. I especially liked the exhaust shootout. Good Job...I can't wait for the next one.

Is the measly subscription price REALLY too much to pay in order to save a few hundred on getting the right exhaust?

I can understand where you're coming from, but SportZ is one of the only magazines that TRULY gives you your money's worth. How much more than an annual subscription would it cost you to dyno just one of these exhausts, let alone install and dyno ALL of them?

And if you're concerned about supporting the Z community, look at it this way: by supporting SportZ, you're supporting the Z community by encouraging such magazines to exist (and hopefully expand.)

I know I'll be looking for my new issue in the mailbox when I get home!

there isnt really a winner or loser.. it just states the facts..

HP gains, dB readouts for sound, inlet sizes. etc...

perhaps SportZ mag would be kind enuf to release that info in a few monthes or after their next issue comes out...

I just ordered 1 year subscription to sports Z magazine. It is $17.95 for one year (4 issues) or $30.95 for 2 years (8 issues). They are mailing me out this issue we are currently discussing by tomorrow so I will have it within a couple of days.

Maybe some of you that own a 30-40K car can also afford another $18? If not, you can pm me and i will try to answer your questions.....

PM me if you need info. I just want some people to put things in perspective. $18 is not that much for most of us considering Starbucks is crowded on a daily basis.

I always felt that if you cant afford to maintain a Porche, then don't drive one.

Is there some sort of embargo on discussing the contents of the article, if so please advise?

Doing a simple search yielded various instances of people discussing the contents of magazine articles and funny how nobody raised an issue about that.

oh well, enjoy your reading

I just found out that they don't sell Sport Z on stands. Oh well, if they want to talk shiz on us for not spending an extra 18 bucks a year, they must feel great that they spent 18 and are too cheap to share their info with the rest of us.

Come on guys, you just knew it would go down this way. Are you really surprised? All together now (in a sing-song voice) "Ha Ha, I've got a secret!". Surely you remember this from childhood.
