Want a sub 2500lb mustang? You got it! The Mustang I concept. 1700 pounds thanks to its aluminum body. Two seater mid engine (V4...no not I4) layout.
Note: I do know what you're getting at. I was just fascinated to recently learn that the Mustang was originally intended to be a very light, MR, two seater. Pretty mind blowing. Check out the wiki page for info if you're curious.

As for the 2015, can someone tell me, if a V6 and ecoboost I4 are offered, which will be the base model? If the V6 is axed, will the Ecoboost have more power than the outgoing V6? I find it hard to believe Ford would downgrade the new Mustang performance number wise but I also find it hard to believe they will put out an I4 turbo with over 300hp without hurting emissions/fuel economy.
Not that I would ever buy a mustang but I do have a warm spot in my heart for them. However, Ford's been doing extremely well lately. Nice to see at least one company is learning from their days of financial turmoil.
