[QUOTE="DHG1078, post: 15227797, member: 65442"] On some body panels, and some suspension/drive-train components. The mustang won't drop 400 pounds through the chassis alone, but could probably lose around 150-200 if they went 100% aluminum, plus make all the body panels aluminum/plastic. More suspension components could probably go aluminum, too if they really wanted to. Some parts will always remain steel parts, but there are quite a few areas that could be moved to aluminum/plastic/carbon fiber. Some aluminum parts won't see a price drop from the Alcoa tech mentioned above, but all the chassis/body panels could see a price drop. [/QUOTE]
