Oh look, it officially weighs 4,120lbs. So many clueless people thought it might actually weigh less than the SS. I wonder how much weight the automatic adds.

You would think that, the cars platform itself is quite heavy from the start then all the safety standards etc...could they lighten it? Of course but that would make the car more expensive if they used lighter more expensive parts.

I'll just go ahead and say this before certain people come in and try to convince me of how awesome it is... I don't care about the numbers it puts up. I thought my Mustang was heavy, and this weighs 700lbs more. This weighs almost exactly the same as my old 4-door pickup. Nearly the same as a Hemi Dodge Magnum STATION WAGON. I simply don't want a "sporty" car that weighs that much.

Even with the weight the auto will probably be a monster in a straight line with minimal mods

Just because the car has a little bit more weight on it doesn't mean anything, it's far more advanced technology wise then the GT500 so it very well will be a good competition and ford knows that seeing as how quickly they reacted to it by boosting the power for the 2013 model. Both are great cars and I can't wait to see them compared in all areas.

I read that though a different manufacturing technique and increased usage of boron steel Ford was able to save 88 lbs on the Fiesta although I could not verify a source. IIRC the Cruze and Volt also make extensive use of these. IMO these are a great way to improve performance(braking, handling), meet CAFE requirements, and increased crash standards as these are stronger. I'm not sure if the downside is cost, but through increased homogenization maybe the cost will come down. I know the manufacturing techniques can be quite different as well.
Audi has done quite well with these in the past, hopefully this will become an industry trend.

I'll bring it up again because I still think its dumb...this is the best performing camaro ever. Best handling, best acceleration, most power, best quality interior, best suspension, the list goes on...
Once again, people bitch about the weight...why does it matter how much it weighs if it puts down better numbers than anything weve ever seen from a camaro before? It's hanging with sueprcars that are 5x the price...
People always complain about something...
You want something smaller, lighter, with less power, for cheaper? I hear Honda has a nice line up this year...

Idk why anyone would have thought this to be a fact. Since day 1 that they released the concept they said it would weigh about the same as the current SS depending upon the options. 5th gen SS's with leather and fully loaded tip 4k lbs commonly. With the added supercharger and completely revised suspension, its amazing how little they actually added IMO.

You all can whine and argue about it's weight all you want. Bottom line is that this thing is a strong runner for what it is, and there's no disputing that. Cannot wait to see what the A6 does with a tune/bolt-on's, going to really be a fast car.
