Default What would capture your interest? - car reviews / articles

To cut to the chase, I'm looking to do some car reviews and want to cater it to people who are into autox, track days, racing and want the articles to cater to this group. I have some ideas on how to make the articles a bit different than most others, but also recognize that there's a ton of options for people to turn to. If you're wondering why I'm doing this, I want to continue expanding my site and do something fun which hopefully readers will enjoy as well.

So here's my question: what types of things would capture your interest to read these car articles (besides some hot chick on the hood of the car lol)? Are there things you wish other articles talked about or approached differently?

Thanks for the input!

Would love to see write up of car comparison when a stock sports car is compared with same model that has been tuned by a known tuner/shop including lap data and cost of modifications.

As a noob, I would like detailed articles on race car preparation. I know I'm very far away from actual racing, but I enjoy learning about what goes into turning a car from a street car to a race car.

It seems like every few months discussions about brake cooling ducts comes up and people want to see photos of others setups. Also, things like venting the fuel cap. I had no idea that would be an issue.

To clarify, this would be articles about new street cars where it wouldn't be possibly to modify them.

Rota, just curious, where are you from? I'm in central CT.

In our area, SCDA (www.scda1.com) is my favorite HPDE group. COMM also runs good events from what I've heard. Between those two, you'll be able to have a nice schedule in the N.E.
