i think zoom is good because it does such a large variety of cars. home tuned, workshop built, budget, near-elite, drag racers, track racers, drifters, street cars. and it's so cheap! apart from the fact that martin donnon couldn't answer a tech question straight if his life depended on it, it's a great mag. they just upped the page count too, it's now quite a hefty mag
hpi is good, so is speed. but i'm never going to own one of those cars, so any knowledge gleaned from the tech articles falls on deaf ears, and the ads are near useless to me as well
