    5.0 Magazine King of Street

    After I started reading the King of Street article in the newest issue of the 5.0, I decided that I am going to let my subscription run out. Aside from the Rivas' and Troy's cars being in there, the magazine is worthless. The tech is terrible and this King of Street is the worst. All these cars are DYNO QUEENS. The KOTS winner made 700+ rwhp and ran a 12.7 at 103!? They claimed that it had a notchy transmission but, come on, 103 mph. That is downright embarassing! Any thoughts?

    I agree, the tech in the 5.0 mag blows!!
    IMHO, mmff is a million times better, I think I might let my subscription run out also.

    for the $1/issue that they are, i get them basicly for something to flip through once a month.

    as for favorite Mustangs mags.... check out Modified Mustangs, its a much better publication that 5.0---- might even be better than MMFF

    Same here, I get most of them so I have something to read on a flight ;)

    I agree on Modifed Mustangs too. Maybe NOT the best tech, but they really do a nice job on their feature cars ,and have been favoring the four eyed crowd lately :D

    MM&FF is probably still best for all around good reading.
