Why the hell would I want a smaller car, almost 370Z size? Damn what is it with the Euro mindset lately...I do not WANT a smaller "muscle" car. Big, bad, beefy....please GM do not turn the Camaro into a Euro-wannabe to compete if that is the direction Ford is going.
It will put it around the size of the 94-98 car. Not that much smaller. 370Z size mustang has always had 4 seats. So it wont be that small. The GT will come in 3200-3300 lbs. The mules riding around look to be considerably shorter. And the GT is already 12.6-12.8 now. So 200lbs lighter and 30 more HP should get it close to the 12.2-12.4.
And all cars are going to have to do something to meet the looming EPA averages. Lighter weight and DI should up the MPG atleast 2-3 across the GT range.
