Not going to happen. The Focus weighs more than a Foxbody did so what do you think your chances are of getting the Mustang to sub 3k lbs?
Is there a choice that is less than slim to none?
Foxbodys were not sub 3k lbs, but they were a reasonable weight at roughly 3,200 lbs. I don't think it is that far off to get a new, production mustang back to sub 3,500lbs...but it would need to shrink in its dimensions.
You're still dreaming. How much does a 911 or a Corvette weigh? The Focus comes in at as much as 3400lbs by the way.
Um yea...that's why I stated the chance of it happening is less than slim to none...I don't know how to make that any clearer. It's a wish/dream of mine that i don't think is going to happen any time soon, if ever.
But, since you asked:
- C7 corvette 3,350lbs
- Porsche 911 3,285
Eh, a hybrid Mustang will likely be at the power level the current base mustang comes in at. Dont expect much more than that.
Sorry, I missed the first line in your last post.
Hybrid Mustangs, times sure are a changin'...
Just means the true V8 RWD cars are going to become more valuable. People took it for granted the the V8 RWD days were forever, but they aren't. Eventually the plethora supply will dry up, and if you want one it'll take some digging to find one. It takes manufacturers to make new ones to populate the junkyards as the old stuff is sucked up and out.
Look at foxes, not that common to find them in boneyards. 10 years ago they were everywhere and easy to find. Now, not so much. SN95's/New Edges are starting to get harder to find in the boneyards now. 05-09's are dime a dozen. 5.0 cars get bought up like catfish LS camaros for the drivetrains..
Eventually V8 mustangs won't be common place in cheap accessible places.

Yup. Though if you remove the preconceptions when it comes to hybrids being ghey (ie Prius status) and think of it as just another drivetrain, its not so bad.
