best car/performance magazine for CL owners?

I'm kind of new to this site. I have a silver 2001 CL Type S, and I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for the best car/performance magazine for CL owners. I was guessing "Sport Compact Car", but do they concentrate too much on Civics, etc? I'm interested in performance upgrades and other enhancements and wanted a subscription to a good magazine. I've never dabbled too much in it, until now, with the exception of K&N drop-in filters. Thanks!

I dunno.... I read Car and Driver, Motor Trend, and Autoweek and I can barely keep up. Not too much written about the CL-S, except that it has bland styling, yada yada yada...

Do they actually cover anything else besides civics, integra's, golfs and most other 4 bangers?

Do they cover 6 cyl's such as Legends...etc?

Thanks

I think you guys here should start a small Acura club and make your own magazine. I'm sure people will jump at the chance to pay up for some good Acura info.

Dude,

You are just like Tim the dentist on Seinfeld. You rock!

Just make sure your patients rinse like hell after they leave your office.

I actually want to sign up for velocity. I saw that magazine at the dealers waiting room. It listed all the dealers that support that magazine. What I'm getting at, is if I installed the Comptech headers, and they try to give me a hard time, I can just tell them they are listed in a magazine as supporters, that advertises performance parts.

I looked it at the newstand this weekend, and I had so few tidbits on the Acura CL-S, that I put it back. (It had the Sema CLS in it, and that was about it).

While I love the forum, I don't know if Soopa is getting ready to talk to vendors, etc. And start "value-added" pages with vendor banner ads and reviews of all kinds of stuff, like:

<font color=red>
We test the AEM vs. Xepher and Injen

Tires: Which are the best for the strip. We test all the best.

etc, etc, etc.

I think you can subscribe to Velocity online. I could be wrong but doesn't membership entitle members to discounts?
