[QUOTE="DBK, post: 3128679, member: 4088"] The weight in the GT is from the supercharger and all the various goodies it takes to run it. You can assume an n/a motor would have weighed about 175 less than the 5.4 with the massive ass twin screw on it. Take that out and it's "light". End of story, as I heard from the horses mouth. Trade off weight for the tractability and utter ease with which the blown motor performs. FWIW, the space frame is all-aluminum, so that has nothing to do with it. [/QUOTE]
