Mustangs are scaling out at about 3500 to 3600 pounds. My stripper 1LE at about 3700 to 3800. Both are pigs. The 1LE just happens to be a faster pig on the road course.

As someone who occasionally gets an itch to buy a piece of American muscle, thanks for this informative post. It reminded me (first half) why they appeal to me, and (second half) why I know better than to get one. I just wouldn't be happy with that weight. And I know those 20x11" tires ain't cheap!
I'm going to stick with my "less is more" approach for now.
Enjoy it in good health (and report back with burnout photos)!
