[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 10219533, member: 9628"] I wonder where the Edmunds figures come from? or why the Car and Driver weight was well within the + or - of fuel weight? Usually, but not always, Ford (the manufacturer) provides the specs and the magazine publishes them. If this is the case, why would Ford make the car appear heavier than it really is? That would be defeating for sales........ My only guess is that the car(s) that were provided for testing to the magazines were fully option, big stereo GT500's, and some of the cars that you are refering to may be lesser expensive models that lack options? Then there could be this difference. I would also guess that if the car was sitting on the scale and running on fumes, it could knock 100lbs.+ off of the weight? Most owners that I know would not bring their GT500 to the scales with a full tank, they are looking for low numbers, not heavy. Not counting the weight of options, how much is the fuel capacity of a GT500 x 6.50lbs. or so per gallon? *****Edmunds specs, 16 gallon fuel capacity x 6.50lbs. = 104lbs.****** R [/QUOTE]
