Wait, wait, 3875? That seems really heavy... that's like 2010 Camaro SS heavy. If Ford does it right they'll keep the weight at a cool 3600 lbs. That seems to be the most likely scenario and a number that is seen here:

3603 lbs, ESTIMATED, 5.0L v8, more horsepower than torque this time around, still NO IRS. But hey, everyone knows all the owners are going to either:
1) highway race
2) drag race
3) burnout,

so who needs it?

.....yep....although roush will probably come out with a trak pak like they did in 08.

Also anyone heard of the RTR mustang? I def. would go for this factory body kit rather than the DUB edition

, plus they chose really nice wheels for it.

I saw that in an article but I also saw this one where they claim the 3875 lbs (est) here:

Official: 2011 Mustang GT Debuts With 412-hp, 5.0-Liter V8 : Auto News

reminds me of the wild weight swing claims before the Z came out. Time will tell.
