[QUOTE="Goldvestor, post: 3072655, member: 38391"] I do not understand either...I watched the Car crazy Show that took a Factories Tour that showed everything on the GT...did not look like there was ANY wasted weight...The Frame was said to weigh 450 lbs...Maybe it's the engine/trans combination...with the blower... Incidently, a new Corvette Z06 weighs 3132 lbs...Tommy Kendall said on TV that it is actually 18 lbs lighter than a Carrera GT... An easy way around the GT's weight penalty might be: A. a smaller (and lighter...lol) Blower Pulley that would up the boost when you push on the RIGHT pedal...I expect a few ozs would be saved...lol B. Drive around with only 5 gals. of gasoline in it... C. Drive around alone D. Don't drive it at all...and sell it to me in 2 yrs at a huge discount... One more thing...The New Shelby GT 500 Mustang is reported to weigh 4500 lbs...with 475 hp... FORDs it seems, could use a diet...but, That Ford GT sure is beautiful... [/QUOTE]
