Hardtop
V6 Manual - 26lbs
V6 Auto - 6lbs
V8 Manual - 86lbs
V8 Auto - 52lbs

Convertible
V6 Manual - 14lbs
V6 Auto - 2lbs
V8 Manual - 90lbs
V8 Auto - 60lbs

Doesn't really add up to me...

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.

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

reni · 06-17-2014, 08:23 PM

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...

airjonny · 06-18-2014, 02:02 PM

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.

reni · 06-19-2014, 11:32 AM

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.

funwheeldrive · 06-19-2014, 12:40 PM

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.
