No offense sir, but as everyone has said, y'all should have said that right from the get-go. Would have saved everyone a lot of grief.
Check the curb weight on the current and next M3 coupe. You could hope the Mustang could achieve those weights.
To be fair, the M3/4, current and former, make more use of materials like aluminum and carbon fiber, the latter of which is not cheap, and the prices reflect that.
They didn't. If they did, we wouldn't all be wondering if it gained weight and you would continue to hear Ford repeat that it lost weight. Some people need to stop repeating this crap since it simply never happened, as much as we all wish it were true.
Correct. The only things that have been promised officially are a global car (including right hand drive for market like the UK, Japan, and Australia), a more powerful 5.0L V8, and the Ecoboost 4-cylinder. Weight has never been officially mentioned.
The media is not Ford. If you believed media rumors and feel misled, you have no one to blame but yourself (and the media). Not Ford.
yea but i'd sure be looking at a lease instead of own. then i'd be looking at camaro or C7.If my girlfriend told me she was gonna go on a diet and lose a few lbs....then came back a few months later 100 lbs heavier, id be pretty dissapointed.
But in the end.....id still ride the hell out of it and enjoy what I had
Those were 'insider reports'. All unofficial.
They don't base @ mid-$20s, do they?
Ford is moving from the very pedestrian S197 platform (cheap, and therefore light: log axle, needing X-brace for consistent handling [BOSS LS]) to a platform with up-market intent (read: Lincolnesque). Up-market means up-cost. But you can't compete with the aforementioned without a significant structure. At the Lincoln price point, weight reduction may be possible. At mid-$20s for secretary versions, who cares, and who'd be willing to pay?!
