I think magazines, like internet forums, are really only useful to anyone until they know everything. Once you know everything, whatever people have to talk about is boring old news. But new people, rookies, etc., like myself to the DSM scene, still wanna know about stupid stuff like whether or not an intake is worth it and how to install a boost controller and gauge.
No, I'm definitely thinking of Turbo. I had every issue from about 1994 til I stopped reading it a few years ago. I waited in anticipation every month for the next installment of Mike Ferrara's project Talon. Yeah, nowadays the tech articles would pretty much be a waste of time to read, but coverage of real street cars that are fast would still be an interesting read every month. My favorite cover had a busty girl bending over the open hood of a turbocharged Miata.

I remember when Stupid Street came along, it was good for about a year. They were irreverent which was funny. But they really did the JDM thing which got old real quick. Turbo at least had informative articles, SS did not.
