[QUOTE="GTSpartan, post: 12515005, member: 21531"] I like you're thinking Pill, but no way do we ever see a V8 Mustang anything in the 33xx range anymore. This will still carry it's $20K rental car DNA. All that new aluminum and HSS/Boron production tooling is very very expensive for ~70K units/yr volume. Will Ford be able to amortize that kind of investment for these modest volumes? We won't know until they release the specs It's much easier to justify the case for the F150 or Focus, that sells many 100K units per year. The new Viper was barely able to squeak under 3300, and it is a much smaller car with a space frame full of HSS/aluminum/carbon fiber. I personally think the weight will stay close to the same (not including the addition of a 4cyl), and most of the lightweight work will be offset by added content and new gov't safety regulations.
