When does the media embargo end for hands on reviews?

[cjgt350]

I thought I had read somewhere that the magazine, YouTube, etc reviews would start hitting in August online and on store shelves in Sept. Any insight out there? We will then finally know the true curb weights as well hopefully.

The media preview is next month (might be the 10th?), so expect stories in October issues - before then, if a website jumps the embargo.

Looking forward to Chris Harris sliding around the track.

What other presenters are the rest of you guys looking forward to reviewing the GT350 and R?

Aren't some people going to be taking delivery of theirs (the 137 15's) before then? If so, we'll definitely be getting some weight info before October.

We heard sometimes in the beginning of September.

Sorry to go off topic here but your FB pics/renderings look interesting. Would love to replace some plastic vents, etc with CF parts. Any spoilers (not the functional kind) you can discuss?

Stay tuned, we will be posting a lot more of our projects and future plans on the page.

That is true, but at this point we don't know how long Ford will hold onto the 2015s for quality checks. I don't know about Flat Rock, but at Bowling Green for the Corvettes, for example, it's not uncommon for just-assembled cars to sit outside the plant for a week or two for quality checks.

Yeah, get Randy behind the wheel.

It would be awesome if he is at the event at laguna in August. Bench racers would rejoice if they have a hot lap from laguna early

Consequently the motortrend 10 best is normally published in November, so hopefully the GT350 is in the field

It is one of the favorites in the running of the 2016 North American Car of the Year so I would expect it to be a serious contender.

It is one of the 19 nominees; the field has not yet been narrowed down.

Acura ILX
Audi TT
BMW 7-Series
Cadillac ATS-V
Cadillac CT6
Chevrolet Camaro
Chevrolet Malibu
Chevrolet Spark
Chrysler 300
Ford Mustang Shelby GT350
Honda Civic
Jaguar XF
Kia Optima
Mazda MX-5 Miata
Nissan Altima
Nissan Maxima
Scion iA
Scion iM
Toyota Prius

Well, car of the year and drivers car of the year are 10 very different comparisons. Actually a bit surprising to see the GT350 on that list and not the mustang in general
