its been said the v6 with the perf pack (heavier wheels, brakes, suspension) will be under 3500.

dont expect the gt to weigh more than 3700

the new engine weighs 10 more lbs, the new mt82 trans is suppose to be 4 less pounds than the tr3650.

at most 100lbs gain over 2010

Wait, what? EST is 3750 according to the GT specs, but you said with the heavier wheels and brakes, suspension it will be lighter than the estimated 3750lbs. Explain how this is possible?

Also, I don't expect anything. I quoted directly from Ford their own estimated weights they posted today since the embargo lifted. I'm just trying to understand why Ford would estimate higher if the new transmission is lighter, and the motor only adds 10lbs. Let us try to keep to the facts that Ford posts, and not what some would wish the 2011 will be.
