Camaro Performers Magazine - RIP
 
It's no longer being published. On one hand they always tried to get all generations of Camaros. On the other hand, why not include Firebirds. Also, their articles always seemed to focus on aftermarket parts because thats were the $ was. $ from advertising.

So many ads and less substance is what killed them.
The same can be said of the shows on TV. they push some crappy parts for the Money.

Same here. Got added to the super Chevy as well. Real shitty. GM high tech was my favorite magazine for a lot of years.
I know for a fact that the editor of HPP got laid off. I detailed Pontiac G8 vin number 1 with 700 miles that he owns back in May. He did a photoshoot with me doing the detail and it was going to be a feature in the magazine. I called him a month later after hearing rumors about the magazine going under. Sure enough he was laid off without warning. 8yrs out the door. And no article for me.
