I wouldn't bet on that. The above is a worst case power to weight scenario for the 2011 Mustang GT. Horsepower and torque will both be greater than the numbers quoted here, we just don't yet know by exactly how much although the numbers are getting clearer. I will say that some folks may be surprised by just how much greater hp and torque will chime in at than those minimum figures. And frankly, a minimum 300lb weight advantage isn't insignificant either and is worth about 25hp and 25lb-ft of torque or better all on it's own. 2011 is going to be an interesting model year.
Ford could sell the 2011 Mustang GT for the same amount of money they sell the existing model for and still do very, very nicely in terms of profit. Ford has their fair share of profitability issues, but Mustang isn't one of them.

A. wrong.
anything you dont know is speculation. And you dont know.
B. so your telling me that the new mustang is going to have a bigger engine, but not ad weight? interesting. I dont think it takes a whole lot of logic to see the new mustang (with more parts) is going to weigh closer to GT500 lbs over the hopefull 3600.
C. Ford could sell the mustang for the same price yes... or they could stand on street corners and give them away.
Newsflash: the company is sinking. They want a larger margin of profit. expect the new Rustang to come in around 30k-35k, AND underperform its competition.
