Congratulations to Ford for designing a car that weighs as much as the outgoing (6 year old) gen 5 Camaro with performance almost as good and looks that miss.

Your math is a bit off, either that or you are rounding up to make a point..
My 2010 L99 is 3,910 lbs without me in it..a 2015 Auto GT is only 3,729.
So Auto to Auto..the Mustang still weighs less and has more power and with 3.55's will be considerably faster.
Overall, when equally equipped the Mustang will still be lighter than a 5th gen
