Is it just me or you guys thinks that 50&SF and MM&FF have too much ***** going on lately , i know its new car and people needs infos of new mods,but for god sakes not 5+ techs in one issues

How they write its easy to mod that 3 valve, but its not, just thinks get tune by your self one of those sapnish oak ,its expensive too,plus those low end TQ bafles and have to be taken out if blower or turbo is on way,them mess with fly by wire TB, than "Vtec" cams :D ( i call them Vtec like hondas have ones)

I mean get some stuff for our 5.0 guys, or even 94-95 ,they forget about us, they say 87-93 5.0s and 96 4.6s ,what about us :nonono:

If they keet doing this i will stop spending money on those magazine

What do you think
 
The magazine currently spans to many yrs, from the mid 80's to 2005 is just to many cars to cover once a month. They need to split the magazine up b/c I feel the same as you guys, I think when my subscription renewal comes up I just wont send in another check. Yeah its only like $12 a yr but I feel like reading the magazine less and less every issue b/c I dont own an 05, I dont want an 05 and frankly it just becomes boring reading about all the stuff on it. I told myself that after I sold the car I would still keep the mag but this 05 stuff is getting out of hand.
 
i'm definitly with you on this one. way way too much on the 05's. it's great to see what guys are doing to the 05's, but they just shouldn't have 13 out of 15 articles on the car. you het tired of seeing body kits, and vortec's, rollin on 22's.... it's all the same. it was getting a bit uneven with the 4.6 and 5.0....now, they minus well change the mag's name :(
 
One reason I didnt renew. It's hard to read the darn rag when I have a 95, but I see their dilema. Everything that can be done to our year cars has likely been covered once or twice and it's hard for them to keep fresh w/new mod motor stuff coming out their ears. Plus, I can only read so much drag racing stuff. Good thing I subscribe to 5.0, mustang enthusiast, mustang monthly and the new one Modified Mustangs.
 
I think they should split the mags up between classics, 5.0's, and mod motors. That would make it soo much better. Each should have small sections on other kinds in the mag, and news for the mustang community, but when I buy a mag, I could care less about tech articles for an 05! I Like seeing the nice mustangs in all the mags and stuff, but some of the tech articles they have for the 05's are stupid. All my friends have 5.0's and we hangout at one in particular's apartment. He has every mustang mag there every month from all of us leaving them there. Every month we keep all saying how dissapointed we are, but keep buying them... darn the system!

But seriously, split the mag up into atleast 5.0's and mods, then offer a bit a mix in with them both, If anyone has ever read truckin, its like that. They do some mini truck stuff, but concentrate on the full size market. Mini truckin magazine has a few full size trucks, but mainly concentrates on mini's. They both offer great news about the community and hobby as a whole though. I think mustang mag creators need to take a look, and see what their doing wrong.
