Why did the V8 manual gain 34 lbs more than the auto? Not that it's impossible (if they changed the transmission, for example) but that and a few other of the weights (Ecoboost is heavier with a manual?) just don't really add up. Color me skeptical these are real numbers. |

The weight gain isn't too bad relative to the outgoing model. Less than +100 lbs. for all trims. It's not nearly the -400 lbs. that was originally promised by Ford, but I guess it's not awful.
This is going to be a big car though. Wheelbase: 107.1" Length: 188.3" Height: 54.4" Width: 75.4" Weight (GT manual): 3704 lbs. As compared against an FR-S: Wheelbase: 101.2" [-5.9"] Length: 166.7" [-21.6"] Height: 50.6" [-3.8"] Width: 69.9" [-5.5"] Weight (base manual): 2758 lbs. [-946 lbs.]

The 2015 Mustang configurator is up on the Ford website if anyone wants to build one up.

Too fat for me. At least it isn't as fat as a Cowmaro.

Apparently according to the dealer order guide, it's "only" 86 lbs heavier. Which I suppose is not terrible considering the change to IRS. (but still probably not something I would want to own)

Still upsetting. I'm gonna laugh my ass off when the 2016 Camaro looses a bunch of weight...

not sure the Camaro will lose a ton of weight, but I think it'll be around the 3700 neighborhood with the mustang. Ford doesn't have the problem that gm has, which is the corvette. There's no way in hell that they'll make a 3400-3500 SS Camaro. They would be making a car that puts up vette numbers at a fraction of the price.

People who think the Camaro will lose a lot of weight are just as gullible as those who thought the Mustang would lose a lot of weight.

Isn't the Camaro going to be built off the ATS platform? If the ATS only weighs 3,300lbs, would the Camaro really be a lot heavier?

That's the 4 pot. The 3.6 ATS is around 3600. The Camaro will have a heavier v8 and other heavier components to accommodate the extra power.
