Geez you make it sound like we shot ourselves in the foot or hung the local doctor for curing the plague with witchcraft.
Here's Car and Driver claiming it will lose 200 lbs. about a year ago:

A new platform—code-named “S550”—will underpin this new Mustang, and through that architecture, Ford is expecting to shed some 200 pounds from the current car’s roughly 3500-pound curb weight.

And they followed up 2 months later stating they had doubt in their -200lb. estimates:

I don't think there's a publication under the sun who didn't claim that the next Mustang would be lighter at some point. It's a shame we weren't all as cynical as you with every publication claiming a similar story.
At least we all have access to cars that better suit our needs.
