I am trying x,y, or z, I am answering Tony's vacuous statements.

Similar to Tony, you seem to be stating absolutes about something you know little about by your remarks who and why people read the magazines mentioned.

As for tuner cars, they are at their best on the west coast where they truly were born.
Elsewhere they exist, but compared to standard forms of high performance vehicles. as covered in most high performance magazines, they are a small sub-group, less common than low-riders, on a national scale.

Back to thread topic.
Fini.

Over 50% of the readership average No College and Over 34 years of age.

60% have no children..

I see why you do not like reading, your skills are lacking.

NO children 0-17.

Over fifty percent no college degree, hmmm, the average on no college is less than fifty percent, do the math.

Now try harder next time.

Who would you rather have reading info on your product, 27,000; or 200,000?

27,000 or 200,000 what? People who a magazine claims read their dying media?

What about Websites?
Popular Hotrodding magazine Daily Pageviews: 4,435
133,050 a month.

Vs
Import Tuner magazine Daily Pageviews: 15,549
466,470 a month
http://www.cubestat.com/www.importtuner.com

Where do you want your money to go?

Don't forget that the Demo for Import Tuner magazine is the target for Indy Cars.

That 466,470 a month number is probably pretty young. As they get older, they will buy more expensive & non-ricer cars. If they become Indycar fans now, good chance they stay fans for a long time. Its a good Demo to target...

How to target them best is the big issue.

I think any fast engine could appeal to this crowd - but Indycar needs a lot more than the right engine. What could be proposed that would do better in drawing in the young car & racing nut?

Is there any reason NOT to target this crowd?
