I'm expecting something around 3,700 lbs, or close to the base Mustang GT. If it is less than 3,700 it will be icing on the cake.
I can't really imagine suspension would be all that different. Brakes I could see making some differences though, bigger rotors and calipers and such.

You're 3700 lbs number may be pretty close too, in which case i'm not sure it's going to be a huge difference. I'm kinda hoping for a bigger difference, but I dunno.

I'm really trying to formulate whether I want to keep my 2010 or if they weight and performance will be a big enough difference to justify the new car, i'm guessing not, since I already make more HP than a LT1 anyway, toss in a cam and heads and i'm way past it.
