and I almost sold my R. I'm on the list for a 500R - will wait it out now. Better to trade in on it anyway.

If you look at the leaked document it states vehicle curb weight/vehicle gross weight. Just my opinion but I think the weight that’s listed is the gross and not the curb weight. The gross weight includes liquids, driver, and passengers. If true it would bring the curb weight down substantially.

NeverMind I misread it, should have made it bigger on my phone. Wow it’s heavy if true

I don't think so. They are showing curb (VCW) and gross (GVW). Simply put, she's a fatass of a car.

I think regardless of the weight it is going to surprise many in acceleration. Still! I am not parting with my Miata in comparison weighing 3650 R.

My '90 coupe is under 3k. Another 1,000+ is pretty crazy. That's like strapping 2 Oprah's to the car permanently.

That's almost 20, correction, 30 years ago man!! And the F body chasis is flimsy in comparison. Honest truth is that all new cars are getting heavier. Even the all CF body GT350 only manages to save 200lbs or so over OEM.

Keep dreaming. 3950 - 4000 seems realistic. The ZL1 in its heaviest form is knocking on the door of 4100.
3900-4000 was exactly what I was expecting. If it actually ends up being 4200+ that's going to be very disappointing.

Same.

And honestly, this document could simply have a bunch of place holders too. Which I think is the real case.

Not that Ford announced it but I’m sure there’s documents on here that appear to be much more legit that indicate a top speed of over 200.

And that document has more than one error. Trailor? Cmon. No way that’s an internal Ford document.
Trust me... it happens.
