2011 Mustang GT has a weight of 3604 (MT) with the spare tire (18#) and with a full tank of fuel. So without the spare and with only 5 gallons of fuel it will be just under 3500. With the optional 3:73 gears and the 6spd manual it will be a force to deal with....especially at $30,000 price tag for a base model.
The good thing is with a SC you will only get a 80-90HP increase out of the new 5.0. The bad thing is add some forged pistons and you can turn the boost way up on it and be pushing 580-600 hp all day. It will be interesting to see what happens; I am a life long GM guy....but you have to take a look at the new GT and wonder what the Dark side is all about!
I hope this pushes Camaro/GM to lighten up the car and add some more gear options!
