This is great - thanks for sharing! I think this article is online too, but there's something special about seeing it in print that makes more of an impact.

Given how momentous this new C8 is, I'm sure MT or one of the other car mags will do a special edition, full-feature magazine on just the new Vette.

it's reading things like that above that gives me that uneasy feeling about what they tried or are trying to do with the v8 v4 nonsense ro satisfy cafe..

Just hit me with the gas guzzler tax and move on. Leave the smoke and mirrors out of my stress relieving toy please.

I love how the Motor Trend C8 cover 'covers-up' the Supra ad.

I'll bet C8 will 'cover-up' the Supra in sales and performance...

Not sure if Motor Trend would appreciate you putting their magazine article up like that on a forum. I am sure they would much rather have people buy the magazine.

If he paid for his issue, what's the problem? To include passing his issue off to a family member. A neighbor. Leaving it at the doctors office. Or sharing it here. Why not?

I am sure they would much rather have people buy the magazine too. But I am not familiar with Motor Trend or their policies that may forbid sharing their literature beyond the hands that paid for it.

May violate copyrights. I don't know. But, is it not HIS ISSUE that HE PAID FOR?

Oh well. I didn't even read it. I just looked at the photos.

There are definitely copyright issues at play there and I'm surprised the forum is allowing it to stay. It puts IB at risk.

It 100% violates copyright laws; that's exactly why they're in place. It doesn't matter that he paid for it.

Not likely.

I like that argument and can you please apply it to software as I am tired of paying for it. Got any good stuff you can share?

Maybe specs have changed since the article was written but there a conflict between this article and the Brembo press release. Brembo says 4 piston brakes all around, this says 6 in front 4 in back.
