s we head deep into the fourth year of this magazine’s existence, I figured now would be a good time to take a moment and reach out to our loyal readers—that’s you—to make sure we are checking all the appropriate boxes when it comes to providing the content you like to see and read about in All Chevy Performance magazine. It’s going to require a little work on your part, as I’d like you to answer a few questions. The good thing is that questions are easy and there is no wrong answer—my favorite kind of tests in high school.

So, let’s get started.

Do you buy All Chevy Performance magazine for: A. car features, B. tech articles, or C. event coverage?

For those of you who read this magazine for the tech articles, which do you prefer most: engine tech, suspension and brake articles, paint and body tips, electrical pieces, or are you interested in all technical aspects regarding classic Chevy muscle cars?

For the engine guys, which engines do you prefer to read and learn about most: LS, LT, small-block, or big-block?

On the suspension side, do you want to see more full chassis installs or are you after more bolt-on suspension articles?

What is your favorite model of classic Chevy: Camaro, Chevelle, Nova, Tri-Five, fullsize, or do you just dig all classic Chevys?

When it comes to build style, what do you like most: Pro Touring, Pro Street, Day Two restorations, gassers, mild restomods, concourse restorations, or wild street machines?

Do you like to see features on high-end cars or do you prefer rides built by the “average Joe” in his home garage or small shop?

As I’ve stated before, more times than once, most likely, I personally appreciate what the high-end builders can accomplish with exceptional talent and a creative mind. Most come up with some brilliantly creative hot rods, and even though they may be out of financial reach for the typical muscle car enthusiasts (me), I admire their ability to stretch the bounds of imagination that began as a rusty carcass once left for dead. Many of these builds start with a general concept that requires refinement from a forward-thinking automotive artist who can interpret what the builder had in mind and get that idea on paper. That idea then becomes reality, typically after years of precise custom fabrication and countless hours of bodywork prior to hitting the paint booth. Sometimes these cars come to fruition via a staff of expert fabricators, bodywork specialists, and painters, while others come from a modest two-man shop built with tons of passion and persistence.

With that said, I equally appreciate a solid homebuilt muscle car coming from one person armed with just a vision and limited resources, who is able to take advantage of top-quality parts offered by the aftermarket.

So, if you don’t mind, please take a few minutes to answer the questions above to let me know if we are delivering the Chevy muscle car content that you expect from All Chevy Performance magazine.

I’m at nlicata@inthegaragemedia.com, and I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
