I guess boat jokes on hellcats are off the menu if these are true number lol
HA HAAAAAAAAAA
Dude, that avatar though,.........killer.

4200 lbs. LOL. There goes all the "hellcat are heavy pigs" insults. That better be with an AWD/10 speed set up.
Nope,......it's states RWD.
But, let's see if any of this is true.

Another thing(s)....petrol is not spelled patrol (top left box), why would it be port fuel injection if it's CPC, and only 190 top speed? I'm calling bullshit now on this one until proven otherwise. There hasn't been one iota of credible information leaked on this thing ala the FGT, so I guess I'll believe it when I see it. You mean to tell me they're bench marking this thing against the cars in the pic below and it's going to weigh that much? (ZL1 3900ish lbs, AMG GTC 3600ish lbs, Porsche Gt3 3,200lbs). Porsche isn't in this pic but was seen with the mule in Detroit in numerous spy shots. Think a 4200+ pound pony car will run with a GT3?

Nice specs if accurate. I found the weight quote a bit hard to believe. I just don't see it being that heavy.

Dear GM.....now about my Z/28 with an LT5...... :)

Sucks. Miss the days of old. Looks like all the fat cat comments are gonna eat crow LOL. Only way ford can compete is copy these days. Dodge has been killing it for the dollar these days don't give an f if you disagree. Mind you I still bleed blue just old Ford blue these days.

BTW the comments are funny, especially awd and solid axle. Solid axle was the first steps backward for ford that started this mess. The second was removing the blower. AWD, well hell that would be competing with the rest of the world which would be ideal, Ford can't create something for that low of cost that good.

My 4 door sedan weighs less that that. I’m sure it’s BS but I would not be shocked to see 4K lbs.

You can't sell me on the fact that ford is benching the gt500 to the amg gt and gt3....gt350 sure I buy off in that but not the gt500.

I like the fact that it has the 5.2 so it can still rev but also SC so it has the power to go with it but 4200lbs is a bit heavy. I was thinking it would come in right under 4k at like 3900ish. Having said that I do think this motor with an A10 will be everything you guys ( straight line guys) have been asking for.

The 5.2 so it can rev? The normal coyote revs over 7k and the GT500 is said to be CPC not FPC. Not being benchmarked with those cars? Why would those cars be riding together in Asheville, NC with a GT500 mule(near the tail of the dragon) all with Detroit plates if they weren't looking for comparisons?

That's a bit of a letdown.

56 more HP and 30 more TQ than a 13/14....and @370lbs heavier!
And a 190mph top speed is a let down. I know I’ll never take one that fast, but bragging rights and knowing a car is capable of the 200mph mark is a good feeling. I think this leaked document may be bullshit. I don’t think a mustang has ever weighed 4000+lbs either

****ing goddammit Ford...mother****er...
Pretty much my response

I think S197 07-09 iron block 5’hundys got pretty close to 4K lbs if not over it, especially convertibles.

2.65 blower? Must be at low boost for EPA and such. 03/04 Cobra days may be coming back.
4k+ weight sucks though if true.
