And 50,000 for it!!!!! I understand it will be a limited production run but I would buy a old zo6, 03-04 corba, or f-body, for half price or a c6 and have a faster car than this car. Again too heavy

 

[redline360]

Well ill give credit to ford, they can build some heavy ass pigs of a car

 

[Seancass]

i agree that car should be 1000 lbs lighter, but of the aftermarket cars coming out, i really like the looks of this one. much cleaner. still, they should not have made frame solid bars, or the body panels 1/2 thick or whatever trick they did to make it so freaking heavy.

 

[kissmyAZZure]

yeah definately like the look... don't like paying for a signature though

quiet steel frame construction and in door insulation. more asthetics in the interior. longer frame. that is also stronger.

looks good but not worth the price

Why is everyone worried about the weight of the S197 Mustang? Doesnt a 100% completely stock GT S197 run a 13.30?

 

[Nick85]

Yup and lightly modded S-197 GT's run high 12's :coolman:

 

[2-slow]

No shit I am so damn tired of hearing everyone complain like babies about the weight. :nonono: The car looks great.

 

[ALLNTRL]

Anybody got engine pics? :shrug:

 

[01cobravortech]

Looks are good, but the price is way BAD. :nonono:

 

[Riddla]

My Lawnmower would outrun it for a bit :dw:

 

[90notchSacTown]

Can anyone say mid 14ssssss?

 

[ChiSVT]

Where are you people getting this 4,000lb :bs: from? The GT500 has a curb weight of 3920, this car with an al block and no s/c will be lighter than that.

FYI, the Saleen E which has virtually the same setup has a curb weight of 3550.

Great so a brand new 50K special mustang will have trouble with a stock 89LX which has a gear and some punched catalytic converters and a little timing. Nice. Looks great though...as everyone points and laughs at the slow pig.

IMO ford has dropped the ball so much on the mustang that its not funny. Every year its getting fatter and fatter to fit the corporate asses that run the company. I shoulda kept my 86 5.0. Was the last body style (foxes) that was cheap, light and fun.

If I dont find a clean fox again, my next fun car will definitly be a light and nimble import. I dont care if it costs a fortune to fix, at least it will be enjoyable tossing it around. 3rd gen RX7 or first/second gen M3. I'd consider a vette too because its reasonable in weight.

Yikes you'd think they would price the car like when they brought the mach back for 30k msrp.
