VWT has done articles in the past WITH Jake Raby, but not ABOUT Jake Raby. I remember the "Fourthcomings" series by Kathy Jacobs. Great articles about dissmantling, hunting problems, and properly reassembling a Type IV.
That mag's too caught up in what's happening on the west coast to care about RAT, and what Jake's done. Plus, their editor isn't the most technicly minded individual (he wrote an article on how to hotwire a Volkswagen, like we need to know that
). Ryan Price doesn't think his readers care about 225hp Type IV's. They'd rather spotlight cars, shows, and whatever the new trend is OUT IN CALIFORNIA!!!, not advancements in aircooled engine tuning. Obviously, he's not in tune to all of his readers intrests.
Sad to see,..their loss, though.
Excellence caters to a higher crowd, which would mean good exposure to Jake. A good write-up would mean good business. Hell, after the issue hits the stands, he may have orders for as many 911 engines as he does Type IV's.
