The RT article is legit! The 15 Mustang is gaining 50-250 depending on model and or options. The SVT is supposedly losing a few pounds.
However this makes the base 15 Mustang GT near 3800lbs or very near the weight of the 11/12 GT500, maybe a 20lb difference. With the price point being the...
The problem is its wild speculation just as the 200-400lb weight loss was wild speculation.
Adding 250lbs to the 14 gt would put it at the weight of the 14 GT500. I just dont see that happening or anywhere near it. Remember SVT will have to dump weights since they will not have the massive...
SVT knows it would get crucified if they took a step back with any car. That said they are not going to with the next SVT Mustang. Outright power will be down, but so should weight. Areo should be better and drivetrain more efficient. Yes the new SVT will compete with the 13 GT500 in...
Interesting. A thread was put forth a couple years ago in a track scenerio and the ZL1 was outclassed.
Van GT500 can tune and brake fluid vs Torq ZL1 with tune/pulley, wheels and tires at Homestead when both first came out...
Me a GTR fanboy? That is funny!:lol: I cant stand the GTR. I think they are ugly and overrated. They are fast though. I brought it up because westrace brought it up. GM tested against the GTR, with the Z28 running in better weather, and lost by a little. Then ran their car again in better...
One mag did a spread with the GTR the 991t and the Z28. Both the GTR and 991T beat the Z28 around a track that was cold and wet. They even went first. The Z28 lost when it had the better track!
After tuning and letting the track dry and heat up, the Z28 did a better lap.
GM ran the Z28 on a...
Speaking of racing and Thunderhill how many have seen this vid? Race mustang vs Race GTR at Thunderhill. That is Racing:headbang:

Considering there is no way there was a tie(I will call it close), it looks to be a 3 one 1 margin. Also interesting to note that the longest track produced the only zl1 win. Which is opposite of what you say here.
$55900 with destination. $62400 with two options(svt performance and track pack), $69 and change loaded with 3 more options(glass roof, stereo, electronics).
A 14 Loaded Mustang 5.0 manual is $45k which is what the 50 anniversary will be(a loaded GT, with few options). I can see it being in the...
