I don't know, should I trade in the Camaro on a new Cobalt SS or one of these?

They're going to make me drive a Ford yet...

I'm guessing about 3800 lbs, about the same weight as the previous Cobra, maybe 50 lbs less.

The way I figure, the current Mustang GT and the previous Mustang GT are about the same weight, 3400 lbs.

Then they said in an article, going from IRS would have weighed them down another 120 lbs or so, which they didn't think was worth it.

I'm assuming with more HP, they'll need a heavier radiator and intercooler to help cool the car down.. Plus the big brakes and wheels are going to add some more weight back...

Still think its cool that Ford is making it.. at the very least, it should give a base C6 the run for its money in a straight line, and in sales too (entering similar price ranges, and for the mass public, the Mustang will have a larger HP #)
