3900 lbs.

J/K. Probably 34xx, and we don't know that for sure. Almost certainly heavier than the SN95's, but not by a huge amount.

Id imagine its roughly about 3400-3500lbs. Ive heard that itll be just a tad bit heavier than the SN95's. So I agree with you.

Just for comparison, my 03 GT 5 speed weighs 3195 lbs with 1/8 tank of gas, no driver, and no spare/jack.

You might want to try weighing it on an accurate scale.

According to the technical presentation given during the MCA 40th in Nashville, the GT 5-speed coupe was estimated at 3470lbs.

When I spoke with a Ford engineering manager at one of the 05 Mustang showings, I asked him how much it weighed. He would not give me a straight answer, so I said "I heard 3470 lb. (For the GT coupe)". He seemed shocked when I threw out that # and sort of nodded that # was about right.

I got the Mustang press book in front of me, it says:

GT: 3,450 Manual, 3,500 Auto

V-6: 3,300 Manual, 3,345 Auto

Not bad huh?

For comparison the Mach 1 weighs 3,469lbs (manual) and has about the same HP. Looks like we will be seeing Mach 1 numbers out of the GT.

Good possibility.

The one problem it may have is the tires, the Mach's tires are a bit wider. I don't know why Ford choose such thin tires.

Wider would be nicer, but I don't think that it necessarily means traction is going to be bad -- remember that the '05 has a much better rear suspension, and 235's might be equivalent to 275's on an SN95 for straight line traction

According to statistics we've got on the Mach 1 Registry, the weight of the 5-speed manual version shows as 3430 lbs. On the copy of the invoice I have, the shipping weight is listed as 3317 lbs. I have assumed this is the weight without a full tank of gasoline (~ 16 gal @ 6 lbs/gal = 96lbs) in the car.

If the GT engine out is underrated like the Mach 1's, they definitely will be close in acceleration.

How about posting some photos of that press book?

Alright, here:

WHERE CAN I GET ONE OF THOSE????????????

03 SVT VERT · Jun 26, 2004

I got it from a buddy of mine who went to the Detroit auto show, he has a press pass so he got all kinds of info that isn't supposed to be publically released yet. He got a really cool one from Buggati on the new Veyron, it is a velvet lined case that when opened up has a book on the car and a full length DVD, it looks real expensive.

Thanks for the pics, but you're a tease. How about posting the whole book and in high resolution?

03 SVT VERT · Jun 27, 2004

I would, but it is 36 pages long, many with fold out pages. It would take me a day to scan them and I don't have the space to host them.

The mach and the 05 are going to be a close race, thats for sure. It is defenitely going to be a awkward experience when im at a stop light and a 05 pulls up next to me, but hopefully with a few more mods it will be a fun race. The tires are a little small and it looks like it sits up kind of high in the back, but that might of been a bad pic i seen.
