There is no reason to believe the weight will go up dramatically, and it would have to be a dramatic increase to come close to the Camaro's weight as you surmise.

Wow you are a slow bunch. How is it that the Mustang, which will put on weight from:
A. the 5.0 engine
B. 6 speed tranny (ill believe it when i see it)
C. Safety regulations
come in More than 300lbs less than the Camaro, when the current lighter mustang isnt even 300lbs less.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
