Its about time, myself and others on here have sent emails to editors of the magazines to try and get their attention for an article on Chris's car. Guess it took AMS to break the ice. Glad to hear it, its about time. They need to get over there and take some pictures and notes while its in the build process.

you dont see a lot of articles on black cars, apparently they aren't "camera friendly". I can't remember which mag said it. But this car is clearly about the motor, and about the "stockness" of the car too.

One would have to keep in mind though this car has a lot to offer under the hood. The fact is that it is almost a sleeper to most people because they just think it has a new exhaust and FMIC, but then they realize the truth. I think the sheer fact that the car has this much work under the hood and is as clean as can be will attract a magazine. Just my .02$

+1

If they don't do a "stock" car, Maybe put the same stickers the AMS shop car has and do a double feature.

Prolly wouldn't be a cover car cause its Black. But it deserves to be on the cover of a mag more than 90% of the cars that get on the cover of magazines.

I just did not want to drive and meet them like they wanted. When they pm'd me they made it sound like they wanted to come down here and I told them that it would be cool and that I would even get them some other good runs lined up and then they said they wanted me to meet them half way. I wasn't really interested in going to a place I hardly know or any people there that I know and to race some people I don't know.
