In fact, weird European standards used by companies like BMW aside, in my experience the Mustang is one of only two performance cars on the market today which typically actually weighs a little less than what the factory claims...the other is the Vette. Although the situation with the Vette could have changed since, with respect to the Chevy, it has been a few years since I have spent much time around those cars.
Although a direct injected version of the new 5.0L is coming, the 400+hp 5.0L slated for the 2011GT will use run of the mill PFI.

Would like to see some proff on that statement from what I heared the 5.0 DI will definitely be avaliable in the 2011 model year if not sooner
