We have been through this.

I am rather certain ford knows how much the car weighs. Have you even looked up the official specs on your own car instead of a rags numbers?

Cars are listed with curb weight...to keep things fair you have to use this number.

Any difference that is published is due to variance in the scale/amounts of fluid.

Ford lists the 2011 GT500 at something like 3820. Marginally lighter than an M6 SS at 3860 curb weight.


here it is...http://media.ford.com/images/10031/2011_GT500_Specs.pdf

Coupe=3820 Convertible =3929
What you say is true, but also remember, the official curb weight is the weight of the vehicle with all the options available on the vehicle installed and all vital fluids, including a full tank of fuel. I know opting out of the non-Shaker 1000 stereo upgrade alone is worth ~60lbs by itself on a GT500. I can't imagine what the glassroof option adds to the offical curb weight.

In any case, were arguing neglible weight differences.
