Between the ZL1, ZLE, Base GT500, and CF GT500, what is the weight distribution looking like?

525 pounds - Weight difference between base Mustang GT and GT500.
250 pounds - Weight difference between 1SS and ZL1 automatic. Shows how decontented base Mustang is. |

I predicted the GT500 to be 4200lbs, now I am sad that I was very close to being correct.
I still hope the CF Track Pack is lighter, but that hope is diminishing quickly. p.s. Are those factory hood pins on a 180mph limited GT500? If so, why?

I was thinking we were going to be around 4100 but we are sitting at 42xx, the CF package should drop 75-80 lbs which puts it 41xx, what does the ZL1 1LE A10 weigh?

Big difference in weight compared to the 500. Not good but we will have to see how it performs. Ford might have been better off to throw more n/a hp at the GT350R,.

Also, it would be hard to squeeze more HP out of the Voodoo. Gererally speaking in an N/A motor, you can only make significant gains by adding more RPM's or more torque. More torque comes from more displacement, and there isn't much room there, and how much higher can you rev that motor? 8250 is pretty darn high. Plus, I think (IMHO) there really does need to be a GT500. It's a much different approach. All kinds of creature comforts, awesome stereo, etc., and huge power, was the formula. It's only because of the ZL1 that they are chasing lap times on a road coarse. Ford either should have released this car two years ago, or just skipped the road coarse thing and go all-in on the straight line like the RedEye. The could have reduced a bunch of weight without all the coolers and huge brakes making a better 1/4 mile car... |

The base price, including gas guzzler and destination is about $74,000. Then, if you can find an allocation for a CFTP and want the handling package (just the go fast stuff), we're talking $94,000! There are more options you can add (I didn't even add the Recaro seats), but this is just the performance stuff. Even if you found a good deal and got a CFTP allocation for just $10k over, that's $104,000!!!! I'd rather have a 911 at that price point, or I would just wait for the C8 Z06. |
