GT350 Weight?

[Todd15Fastback]

Those of you who don't own a scale should keep your opinions about weight to yourself.

Jesus dude, really?:frusty:

if we're getting technical.
should we say "people without scales AND a GT350..._____"

People without speculations to speculate should not speculate in a speculation thread in a speculator way.

Sorry..I had to.

The brakes will be bigger and lighter. My 20x11 wheels and tires were 8 pounds LIGHTER than the stock 2010 GT wheels and tires. Those of you who don't own a scale should keep your opinions about weight to yourself.

Hmmm.... this is kind of uncharacteristic of you but I'll play. How much did your 20x11 wheels cost in comparison to, say... an 18x11 in the same weight range?

It is entirely possible that these wheels/tires/brakes/car weigh less than the GT and I really HOPE they do. But realistically how much money is Ford going to spend doing that before they price this car out of the price range it should be in (Hopefully the $40k-$50k range) and into proper Corvette money range?

If they could figure out how to develop an entirely new engine for this car, then I feel it's safe to assume they could go a long way towards lowering weight as well.

Guessing 3500 w/o options.

I'm guessing 3700 lbs.

Would be great if it is lighter.

Was wrong about FPC, so maybe I'll be wrong about this, too.

My guess with bigger brakes/wheels and beefier suspension/drivetrain, the other lightweight parts will be offset.. 3700lbs is my guess

That's kind of rough. This is a forum where people have a good time sharing their opinions and prognostications about what the future will hold for their favorite pony car. Speculation can be fun when specific knowledge is unattainable.

Before the s550 came out, people conjectured WILDLY about what they thought it would look like, how many hp it would have, what it would weight, what kind of performance numbers it would generate.... Some were amazingly close, others NOT SO MUCH. But, it's all just good fun while biding time.

Beyond that, telling other people that they should keep their opinions to themselves kind of defeats the purpose of the forums not to mention the concept of FREE SPEECH. We are not on here to merely share facts, but far more often opinions, which range from very informed to WTF are you saying???

In closing I don't see how having a scale makes one's opinions significantly more valuable unless one has the car in question or a significant number of the component upgrades to put on said scale. However if we adopt your logic, then people without dynos shouldn't have an opinion on HP and Torque. Also people who don't own banks shouldn't have an opinion on pricing.... Then again, that's just my opinion.

It will weigh what my car weighs once all these parts show up in the FR catalog.

 

[JohnZiraldo]

Of course it will be lighter. It has half the number of planes.

 

[Mazda]

I'm sorry, I just had too.

From the videos 11-17-14 we all seen pics indicate it going to be carbon fiber. Also they mention light weight. Its cause Mustang fans confused with Mustang GT weight. I think the light weight Mustang is going to be GT350 or what ever that Mustang will be and let guess its going to be GT350.

Now lets guess GT350 weight.

My guess its will be 3450 pounds
what is your guesstimate weight?

I think the mention of Carbon Fiber was only for certain pieces, not the entire body. So I don't see the weight going down too much except if the limit extras, like power seats and other heavy sh*t. I'd say no less than 3400 lbs.

 

[Tim Hilliard]

3650-3750 The composite up front is too help balance, it's going to be very close to a 300A/PP/Recaro...which happens to be my car.

 

[908ssp]

The base gt350 will be every bit of $60k and the optioned version will be close to $70k. Speculating about weight is great if you learn something. But making statements like brakes will weigh more is obviously wrong it is laughable. Have you not looked at the pictures? The brakes have aluminum hats and pin drive discs the discs have narrower bands if you're a car guy you should know that just by looking at the pictures. The wheels are expensive forged wheels. My cheap TSW wheels on my 2010 cost far less than what Ford charges but probably slightly more than what Ford pays and they weigh 8 pounds less than the OEM wheel and my PP wheels are ridiculously heavy.

I still don't see the point of FPC and no DI. I asked someone about the FPC and the answer I received amounted to "makes no sense, had to be Marketing" Still very shocked they did that in a production car.

Don't get me wrong I'd love to have one but not for the price of nearly two of my car.
