yep, I totally called that chit out on page 2 of this thread. Ford realizes the reality that 0 new Mustang models will be lighter than outgoing models despite what they were trying for. They leak a rumor of a massive weight gain. Rumor goes viral. Everyone is pissed. We find out the truth that the car is only gaining around 100lbs and everyone is happy. If rumor had not gone out in the first place a lot of people would have been pissed about the 100lbs. Now they are all grate full for it.
