And you are getting this weight from...where?

Most anything, save for the displacement and a few pictures, is theoretical about the Coyote project.

I love mustangs...not the drivers since they tend to think they are high and mighty (I've been on rehab since I used to be one of them). With that said Mustangs are still best bang for the $. They draw massive interest since they are cheap and mods are cheap as well. An average 370z exhaust is $1000, invest that in a GT and you'll have a real monster on your hands. With that said, Mustangs cannot, I repeat CANNOT negotiate turns. Chances are a bolt on Mustang will take a Z if they were to run on the highway on the way to the track, but at the track it's a different story. Still, Mustangs have a special lure to youngins who spend all their part time job money on mods.

I've seen Mustangs successfully negotiate a track, but most of them had heavily modified suspensions.

NYBladeZ · 12-18-2009, 09:19 AM

Mustang's still use live rear axles...inferior technology. Even with massive suspension mods it still leaves a lot to be desired. I would say the best mustang of the decade was the 2003-2004 Cobra, the blown engine was dynamite and it had a rear irs suspension. Too bad the driver is usually a dkhead.

I agree, the supercharged Cobra's with IRS were bad-***. A friend of mine sold his last year for a mere $18K. He used to flog that thing around the track with some heavy boost until he lifted a head. If I was a muscle car guy I would have bought it off him in a heart beat.

There is an IRS conversion available for the newer Mustangs but it is cost prohibitive. The live axle can be made serviceable at the track, but IRS takes the mid-corner bumps better.

Ford and Chevy forums, Google is a great thing.

Amazingly vague. Links.

And on that note, where is the stated weight of the VQ37 while you're at it? I never said the LS1 actually weighed less - I said I wouldnt be SURPRISED if it did.

Anyone specific?
The engine has not been picked exactly yet, yes it is going to be a 5.0L but there are a few variants currently.

Not that I needed to post this, but thanks Dreamer - precisely my point.

The new GT should make 400+ hp and 390ish tq lol

Yep, having two co-workers who are Mustang addicts, they are wondering where this info is coming from, they would love to know how much this stuff is going to weight as they want to share it.
