Stuffing a live axle in the back would cut weight and improve 1/4 mile performance.

I could use a 15% weight reduction lol

....Perhaps the 6th Gen Camaro may actually turn out to be a lighter weight car than the new Mustangs....

That silence has been interpreted by some as a possible indication that there's no weight loss... and, in fact, a weight gain isn't impossible due to added equipment coupled with zero reduction in the overall dimensions of the car. |
I think this is great stuff for Camaro fans, and I'm also starting to think the Mustang hasn't lost much if any weight. Sure, the 4 cylinder will be lighter, but it appears that the Alpha Camaro should be right in the ballpark.

News on a few sites as to the 200lb. loss, nothing confirmed solid as of yet. Yes it could weigh more but I doubt it, everyone is working hard at dropping the pounds these days. Camaro is no exception, the Z28 if I heard correctly is 200 lb. lighter so nothing is Impossible. |
It's like the new corvette, frame was lighter going with aluminum, but there was also weight added back due to electronics. I expect the same to go with the new mustang. Ford not releasing curb weight is a reason that it added weight.

I don't think anyone except the insiders know yet, so we shall wait and see. |
GM Ceo Akerson who ordered this will be gone Jan 14th....I wonder if this weight reduction plan is still a "go", already in the works, subject to change, possibly scrapped...???....Maybe makes no difference...??

For many of us it isn't strictly performance. You are speaking for yourself, not everyone. My car has to be a daily driver, last over 100,000 miles, be dependable, hold up to reasonable wear and tear, be reasonably affordable to purchase and maintain and it has to perform. The market for a car that doesn't do all of those things is pretty small. |

I could see the 6th Gen actually being lighter than the mustang though and I really hope that's true. |
