I also don't think that they are trying to keep Team Camaro in the dark for as long as possible. It's only 4 months before ordering begins when full specs will need to be published.
The only thing I can figure is that Ford's big dog, the F150 does not want the Mustang to steal any of it's thunder when it announces it's promised weight reduction and performance gains in a few weeks.
We should see the Mustang numbers shortly after the big dog speaks.

In regards to not prematurely releasing performance numbers and body weight, GM did the same with the C7 when it was revealed... GM waited to release (from Jan. to summer) until final specs were official. GM is also doing the same with the Z/28... we don't know the actual power numbers yet. So it makes perfect sense (to GM and engineers) for a number of reasons we're not privy to.... the consumers (you, us) will know sooner or later when the manufacturers are ready to broadcast publicly.

Agree. This is another very highly probable reason.
So no need for assumptions... just wait it out.
