[QUOTE="Formula51, post: 9576940, member: 19833"] Does the Falcon meet US safety standards? Obviously the new chassis would have to meet current and future standards, which often (not always) translates to more weight. It is going to be a tough battle to lose weight and maintain price, but I hope they are successful. Ford has been doing some creative things so far, so I want to believe its possible. Why do you think the Mustang would be 100lbs. lighter than the Falcon or essentially weight the same as it does now? From the IRS weights I have seen for the 03-04' Cobra and 10' Camaro, you are essentially saying the new platform would save 150-200lbs. (the weight of IRS over a SRA). Although it does look like the Falcon is longer than the Mustang and lets hope it stays that way as the Mustang doesn't need to get any bigger. Perhaps the Mustang is going to get smaller.......
