Mustang won't and can't go that route. The GT500 will probably be a big hit here but may likely be a harder sell in the European market where Mustangs are popular. I actually hope I'm wrong about that.

100lbs on a 2000lb race car trying to shave 1/1000 off a Cherokee second means more than a car weighing twice that and will almost certainly never run one race track lap, let alone many. I am still guessing just over 4K. Not a single purchase will be based on it's weight either. |

P.S.: I miss the people here that ever remind our that the Tesla is faster than any Mustang out there... ![]() Model 3 Performance - 3.3 seconds, Model S P100D - 2.5 seconds. And that's just the big 4 door sedans. Roadster - 1.9 seconds. And Formula E is now racing with new longer range performance batteries. It's the future....today. |

Even if it can do one or two laps a little faster than the GT350, would it be able to stay faster after 5 or 10 laps?
