Neil, i don't know man. Anything is possible and there's a possibility this none, some, or all of this info could be true. . I'd however just take it with a grain of salt till the 05 debuts in Jan and all the info is out. Then the facts will be seperated from the rumors.

 

As I have said before, too many car predictions in the past have been dead wrong, even a few months before a car has come out. Until it is in the publics hands, we will not know for sure.

 

For you I copied and pasted my post from the D2C thread.

There was word going round for a while that the S197 was going to weight 3800 pnds.And where that info came from was someone thought (not blaming Sixer here) they would go and look up the only 2 door DEW98 platformed car (T-Bird) and say hey look how heavy the new Mustang will be. ..Which (like Sixer see's already) the CBS will be lighter then the DEW IRS.The front suspension should be "fairly" equal in weight when you remove the upper control arm and replace the shock with a strut.

SIXER-Here is something for you to think about.This may hit you odd.A Lincoln LS V6 curb wt. is 3681 (4 door car )
LS V8 curb wt. is 3762.
The Bird T-Bird is heavier then both of them !!!!!!

Now it comes out who is the blaim for this hogwash.
Sure this is a "pro GM site" but geez,It isnt that hard to do research on this stuff.
