King of all car mags April 27, 2005 Dan G (Detroit MI) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Its really no contest. This mag is head and shoulders above everything else on the rack. You won't find more accurate and informative tech articles anywhere this side of Racecar Engineering. There is no "fluff" in this magazine, its all "meat". Its also nearly 200 pages thick! And the ads (which are usually directly related to the article you're reading) don't suffocate the magazine at all. They cover everything from 100hp Civics to 500hp Z06s, and anything in between. You'll get highly technical, yet easy to understand articles on things like turbos, braking, engine cooling, suspension modifications, tires, LSDs... you get the idea. And usually its not car-specific at all, the information can be used on whatever you drive and wrench on. This is just a SHORT list of current/recent project cars... 1991 C4 Corvette, 1992 Honda Civic Si, 1991 Nissan Sentra SE-R, 2002 Honda Civic Si track car, 2004 Dodge SRT-4, 1985 Toyota MR2, 1995 BMW M3, Triumph TR3, Porsche 914, Rotary Spitfire, 2002 Honda Civic Si, 2000 Civic Si, Mazda Miata, 2004 Honda S2000, 2002 MINI Cooper S, Miata-Based Locost, Ford Mustang GT, E30 BMW M3, 2002 MINI Cooper, Toyota AE86 Corolla, Porsche 944, Toyota Celica, VW GTI ITB, VOLVO 122S, Meyers Manx, Acura Integra Type R. This is probably the only car magazine whose entire staff has grease under their fingernails. If you think that's a good thing, this magazine is for you. Check out their website for more info: www.grmotorsports.com No, I'm not affiliated, I'm just a happy subscriber for the past 8 or so years.

this truly is the best car magazine i have ever encountered. they are not into the latest "bling bling" or expensive widget.. they are about what works to make the car better.
The magazine for car guys with a brain (and greasy fingernails) August 9, 2005 Speedy Valiant (Los Angeles, CA United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Finally, a car magazine with intelligence and an interesting slant. A magazine for people that enjoy working on, playing with and racing cars, especially sports cars, but that is truly "non-denominational". You'll see Mustangs, Corvettes, Hondas, Porsches, BMWs, even the occasional Yugo, Fiat or even Lotus. Even if you don't have an open automotive mind, you'll find out cool things about cars you never knew existed. I've been reading GRM since before I could drive (and it was called "AutoX") and I've loved every issue. Keep it up, guys!
THE BEST MAGAZINE FOR AMATEUR MOTORSPORTS! August 29, 2005 J. Pantas (Mt Pleasant, NC USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
You cannot find a better source for taking any car and preparing it for any type of motorsports, from auto-x, hillclimbs, High Performance Driver's Education (HPDE), to club racing you won't find a better magazine. Excellent articles about technical issues, racing updates, schedules and the $200N Challenge is ALWAYS a treat to read about. It is truly the best magazine for anyone considering entering amateur racing and want to race their favorite car and/or their family sedan!
The perfect car mag for the practical enthusiast March 25, 2005 Jerry From LA (City Of Angels) The car mag for people with other responsibilities like family, mortgage and work. If you like reading about cars you'll never afford or even get to drive, perhaps there are better choices for you. If you want to maximize enjoyment of the cars within your grasp and even get the low-down on where and how to race them, then press the little blue button and order away. In-depth coverage of regional autocross, road racing, and rallying too. So even if you're encumbered by the usual wallet-draining facts of normal life, you don't have to give up your automotive passions. Yes, you CAN have it all and Grassroots Motorsports will show you how.
