Wonder when the magazines will be testing

[2snakes]

It will be neat to see the car magazines testing our cars ? Hot Rod ..Motor Trend.. Muscle Mustang.. 5.0.. Car and Driver

 

[Zeroescence]

Never. GM is going to pay the magazine publishing companies off to either not post times or post bad ones.

I'm waiting patiently on some tests! I find myself checking everyday to see if any tests have been conducted. Can't wait to see and hear about the full reviews for this car. I'm sure MM&FF will have the best 1/4 numbers by far

got hot rods august issue and nothing

Sure hope they publish online and don't hold the articles until print

It is a bit disturbing that there are customers cars sitting waiting to be delivered any day and there have been no reviews,tests or official(from Ford) performance numbers. What the HELL is the hold up!!?:shrug: I've never seen a car so close to being in the hands of it's owners and not having something from the auto media for it's soon to be owners/fans or the haters to look over and discuss. I also find it strange there has been nothing from Ford as far as performance figures. All they have done is hint around about what this cars capabilities are.:nonono:

Sorry for the rant. Maybe its because I need something for this long wait as my order is still showing in processing.

I was thinking the exact same thing. How is it some people will be taking delivery of there Shelbys in the next week or so, and there have not be any test conducted that we know of??? WTF is going on here. Definitely kinda strange. :shrug:

It's dumb, but it's just a timing snafu between Ford's PR people and production. There's no two ways about it though, people will have the cars before reviews are out.

 

[blair223]

The alternative is that we don't get cars as soon as we are so I'm way ok with it!

 

[bluediamond]

...or the PR peeps said, lets watch the ZL1 struggle with the media/road test/excuses etc.
then follow that with some awesome real world numbers for a knockout punch
to GM.

Thanks for the response, but Ford and or the media could give us something over the internet, instead of waiting for a paper publication to hit the news stands.

The mags have already ran the cars. 5.0 will have a great review.

Indeed.

Unfortunately Ford gives great deference to print media. SVTP is working to help change that though.

 

[bluediamond]

When should we expect the 5.0 review?

 

[BossAnaki]

Print is a dying medium. There are far better resources with more current information than you get in print. Most of the time when you finally get it in print it is old news because it has already been all over online resources.

I tend to agree..however I expect the 5.0 review to be leaked online well before its printed.

 

[flyby763]

A post by MM&FF indicates they are testing something today

Edit: on Facebook that is

 

[DBK]

I'm desperately trying to get my hands on my car this afternoon. If I can, I'll have a review for you. :-D

 

[Snagged]

I hate you. ;-)
