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.

I'd drive the hell out of one of those D;

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.

the RWD 3.6 is 3461 lbs.

Depending on the trim, It wouldn't be hard to believe a camaro would be <3400 lbs.

Afterall the ATS is a cadillac, thus extra weight due to sound insulation and all the other luxuries.

The new Camaro will be lighter than the previous gen.

unsurety · 06-21-2014, 02:00 PM

On the left is a DOHC 4.6L V8, and on the left is an OHV 5.0L V8

I don't know how it compares to the other engines but an LS1 is ~400 lbs.

So why isn't the new ponycar faster than the old one, or handle as well given its horsepower and torque bump and new suspension? One word: weight. The new Mustang GT weighs in at 3814 pounds, a 196-pound increase over the last similarly equipped Mustang GT we tested

Seems like they blew it. Originally, everyone was expecting a lighter, better handling Mustang and it didn't happen. I'm sure it's still a blast to drive but I was expecting more.
