Well, don't forget that in my 2013 Car and Driver (still in the reading pile by the toilet) that gave advance pictures and info on the forthcoming 2015 Mustang, Ford was touting a 200 lb weight reduction over the 2013/2014 GT - just read it for the hundredth time the other day. Instead, the 2015 GT came in about 200 lbs heavier than the 2013/14 GT and the 19 GT is now over 3800 lbs (again according to C&D) and now outweighs the Camaro. A couple guys on the GT350 forum who weighed their GT350s showed they were also over 3800 lbs and the GT350Rs can be expected to be about 100 lbs lighter. Given Fords pattern with the new 2015 model and busting their early fake news by about 400 lbs, I don't have much faith the GT500 is going to be under 4100 lbs except maybe with the track package.
