[QUOTE="DBK, post: 16070380, member: 4088"] Another one. Can't say I didn't try. Tell me what luxury options they should get rid of. You want to drive around a non-AC car? You think anyone wants to buy a no-AC no-radio car? That's like 10-15% of buyers tops, and more like 1% of actual drivers. Remove the body panels entirely and the thing wouldn't be under 3800 lbs. You are grossly misunderstanding how easy it is to shave weight. OEMs search for grams, not pounds. Corvette ZR1 has a shit load of carbon fiber, is sized for two less seats, a much lighter starting point and you can easily make one $130,000 and real close to 3700 lbs. This is the price of admission. If you accept the fact you're buying an FMVSS-compliant supercharged car that actually works on a track, you know it's going to be heavy, period. It's definitely going to be heavy in the price bracket Mustangs exist in. To believe otherwise is to engage in magical thinking. [/QUOTE]
