  I'm a PHR subscriber, and they seem to be fairly unbiased. If there is
more chevy/ford stuff in there its probably just because we are a minority;
there is more chevy/ford stuff to report on. Heck, Dean Skuza works with
them, and is a co-host of their TV show; it doesn't get much more Mopar
than that! :-)

  I read that shootout with great interest; good stuff. :-) As a point
of interest, Mopar also won the small block shootout a while back.
Coincidence? I think not. :-)
