Hey fellas,
I know that a lot of you are still brokenhearted over the recent loss of the only magazine that actually recognized the Turbo Buick faithful, GMHTP, and I don't blame you. Not only was I a 15-year long reader and subscriber of the rag myself, but I was its final Editor; sitting in the hot seat for the final year of production. As some of you may know, I was with a relatively popular digital magazine company for three years before that.
(Get the whole back story on the GMHTP shutdown here: http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/threads/end-of-an-era.412575/)
Since that time I've been creating a replacement (of sorts), for not just the A-typical LS crowd but for enthusiasts like us, who cherish EFI Buicks, and other forms of fuel-injected GM vehicles.
The magazine is simply called GM EFI.
It's name is direct, short, simple, and to the point. It tells you exactly what the magazine is, and we won't have to worry about getting questioned on "how a thirty year-old Buick is considered high-tech," or how a 4th-gen Camaro that runs 9s all-motor isn't "high-tech enough."
Although we will largely cover the same type of content you found in GMHTP, you can expect a bit more diversity from GM EFI. We love LS motors. We love Camaros. We even love how hugely popular the two of them are, especially together. But variety is the spice of life, and it holds true for a GM magazine geared towards the GM enthusiast, not just to somebody who only likes one type of engine or vehicle platform.
GM EFI is a magazine for not only those who take racing and building cars seriously, but for those who are truly passionate about the EFI performance engines and vehicles that The General has been rolling out since the mid-80s. Everything from Turbo Buicks to the 2015 Corvette Z06 will be covered.
Everything. Equally.
We'll cover tech articles you care about, an eclectic array of unusual/interesting car feature stories, racing events and car shows, industry news, trade shows (SEMA, PRI, et al.), new product features, and we'll be hosting our own videos, too!
There's something else that you should probably know - it's strictly digital. It won't be found in stores, and no, it's not going to be a "tangible" magazine that you can hold in your hands. But it will be on your smartphone, desktop, laptop, tablet, and basically anywhere you can access the internet.
So while you won't have old back issues to gather, collect dust, and take up valuable space in your workshop or garage, you'll be able to access GM EFI content from anywhere, at any time! Oh, and it's absolutely 100% F-R-E-E for our readers to read and subscribe to!
Plus, since we're digital, you'll see new content DAILY from GM EFI, rather than once a month or every six weeks or so (GMHTP was 9 issues/year). No costly subs to renew, no outdated "news," and no discontinuing of the brand (and getting it replaced by something you're not interested in). No more flipping passed pages of ads to continue reading, the Editor won't have to worry about cutting articles short or bumping stories to the next issue because of page count or ad space - you'll get to read the articles, at length, in their full-entirety as you are meant to!
You'll be able to access our site at www.gm-efi.com soon enough (although our "under construction" beta version can already be seen), and you can head over to our Facebook and Twitter pages at:
