In Californian speak, it means extreme, excellent or superior - I prefer these

The guys running the mag are journos so they know how to string a sentence together, as can be seen by the reply. I guess they have to write in a certain way in order to attract the mag's target audience.

The reply was good, so I will send a response in a couple of days (keep him waiting )

I would recommend you get in touch with Redline magazine, they are all about performance and tuning hence why you are unlikely to find the chavved up cars usually featured in Max Power etc.

When did they change then? I remember them having the same cars as Max Power but a few weeks after Max.

They have changed then. They used to feature anything at one time of day.

Agreed, Redline would be more suitable, but the car would stand out more in FC

Redline run the TOTB competition that I hope to enter either this or next year. On reading the rules, however, I may find it difficult to to comply with some of them, but we will see.
