[QUOTE="williamwally, post: 13704980, member: 142779"] While I agree it would be nice to see an even larger weight drop then speculated (0-100lbs), and maybe see it get a bit smaller, I just don’t know how both of those can be accomplished much without sacrificing it’s usability as a car. On top of that you have new crash standards that ford probably wanted to meet which always take more weight/space. I wonder how they can package things any more tightly without reducing interior space (which they’ve supposedly increased in the 15). If you want the size/weight of a brz, you’ll end up with the almost un-usable rear seats and trunk of the brz. The base model mustangs are usually bought as just a cool car and not a one-purpose sports car. During the year I had my ’11 gt500 I used the rear seats, trunk, and pass through plenty. After having a wagon since, I realized I don’t need all this extra space and just need rear seats that can fit a car seat or get 4 people in for a maximum hour or so travel. The 15 should be be able to do this just fine. The `15 having increased interior space, trunk space, pass-through space, while increasing performance (at least on-track they say), comfort, fit and finish, really make it a great GT car IMO.
