Doesn't matter. There is a GM mandated embargo date. So everyone gets to go at the same time. GM is very strict on this and penalties apply.

Penalties = no access next time. Regardless of NDA's / Embargoes people simply do not adhere to them like they use to. The age of entitled brats

Based on Hod Rod Mag, it seems this is a preview event. I do not think we will get hard numbers from the outlets. But maybe GM will roll out numbers and use the press to help drive their data with driving previews.

This is what I meant. Based on when performance numbers were said to be out, it falls on next week.

He is. He did one of the first head to heads with the 2010 GT (last year with the 4.6 3V), the 10 SS and 2009 R/T.

Ugh... a month wait !

It's like being a little kid waiting for Xmas all over again

It looks like whomever said we'd be reading about them in the November issues of car mags was right though!

A month! That is not necessary, they have the car, drove it and now we know the performance figures released by GM! I say the beginning of October would be good for a first drive and October 16th would be good for an instrumented test.

I expected to see first drive reviews MUCH sooner than that.

Bummed.

YouTube is exploding with GT 350 reviews and videos. Every auto tester in the country has a GT 350. and I got to admit the car is amazing. Just the sound alone, watch the tests at Laguna-sega. wow. My opinion until GM comes out with a upper tier car what ever they are going to call it, the SS will not even be in the GT 350's league. I know I am going to be jumped on but GM waited to long. I predict Motor trend will name the GT 350 as car of the year( or the R). and when Ford rolls out the GT with its 600HP v6 the bar will go even higher. Wake up GM you should be leaking ZL1 or Z/28 tidbits by now..
