Hey is it just me or has Speed Magazine disappeared from the face of the Earth? I haven't been able to find it for like over 2 months now, and I've looked in several news agencies that used to stock it. What gives?  :rolleyes:

"They taste like burning!."

Speed magazine ceased production months ago

NOOOOO! (In case you couldn't tell, I acually liked this magazine!) Well at least I wasn't subscribed to it, and ACP didn't send me copies of something like Cleo to make up for the rest of my subscription. Just like the last time one of my subscriptions ran out. What happened, they went bankrupt or something?

Never really read it before. What was wrong with it? I just never bought it because it looked too (how to put this...) um... well, if a magazine cover could protray an overly large ego and love of ones self, that is the impression i got from that magazine. It had an air of "i am the best magazine in the world i am awesome" so i never bought it.

So what's the story? Why does no one like it?

EDIT: I think it took itself too seriously...

Nah its pretty hardcore... lol. It has some ok content. some nice girls and some cars but its pretty full of itself.

that was the reason i bought speed it was more informative more mature and it didnt have to use chicks to fill the pages

it was a no bullshit all rounder performance mag

P.S in not gay dont get me wrong i love chicks lol but thats why i buy ralph it doesnt really need to be in a dedicated car mag

Cheers

i subscriped half year and for 4 months just received one issue.and some days ago i received a letter said i can choose motor, 4x4 or ralph...

Motor is always a good read, so go for that. Last issue had reviews of BMW M5, Aston Martin Vantage, Pagani Zonda and many other great cars. They love their exotics.

Thats cause it's target audiance was older. It was for people that can afford GTR's and mod them to decent levels. unlike hot 4's and other excel moding publications....

It's not that it took itself seriously or thought they were the best mag out, it was just aimed at a more mature audiance.... plus i found there to be plenty of humor in there... see back page comparisons...

EDIT: and as with the post above mine.... my g/f actualy loved reading it too as it wasn't filled with half naked chicks... we have internet for that people!!! :lol:

    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
    • Good to see you followed your heart, got your dream car and have it pretty well sorted out now. I think anyone can get caught out with a seller not being 100% honest about a cars problems. Can relate to all the electrical issues, had similar issues with my first car (mk2 escort) ages ago
    • I just bought the Nexus S3 for my gtt, haven’t installed it yet as I’m collecting parts to do everything at once…so far spent $14,000 The Nexus is nearly future proof
