I know the car could come in at 3750 with a supercharger but it needs to run a lot of carbon fiber and aluminum to do so. I hope we see a switch to an aluminum frameZzz I’d be so happy. It is not going to happen but one can hope

Since it's a unibody, wouldn't the whole body have to be aluminum?
I would be surprised if Ford uses the FPC in this car. I would also be surprised if this car doesn’t weigh over 4K... look at the new 18 GT.. it’s at 3800+ now.... supercharger, bigger brakes, suspension, heavier duty trans.... that all adds weight! I’m sure it’ll be bad ass, but with ZL1s discounted well into the 50s new... a 90k 750hp Shelby isn’t going to end up in my garage.
Not sure if you're joking, but I'm happy if 3900# and the parts we are expecting.
Lighter always better, but 3900# is manageable.
...
Don't forget, the Mustang GT comes/came with a lot more options than the GT500; lighting packages, interior upgrades, heated/cooled seats, sound system, etc. With the GT500, you either got Nav or no Nav. Other than the SVT Perf Pack which reduced weight, that was all the options you got.
What is the performance car world coming to when 3900+ lbs is acceptable?
What?
The car came with heated seats unless you went with recaros.
They still existed was my point. You could get a pretty well optioned gt500 between the nav, shaker, stock seats with heat and glass roof.In 2013, you couldn't get heated seats if you got the Performance Pack option.
I beg to differ.. you have the GT500Don't forget, the Mustang GT comes/came with a lot more options than the GT500; lighting packages, interior upgrades, heated/cooled seats, sound system, etc. With the GT500, you either got Nav or no Nav.

Really looking forward to taking my 6 yearold to school in it.
No offense.. but put down the crack pipe lol... the GT350R weighs 3750 with the electronic pack... the new ZR1 weighs damn near 3700 lbs... the GT500 will weigh 4K...I know the car could come in at 3750 with a supercharger but it needs to run a lot of carbon fiber and aluminum to do so.

But yes we can hope....
Forget any large amount of carbon, they got way too much push back from dealers originally with the carbon and price point of 83 to 85k...they need to be able to sell these against Chevy and Dodge.
New 2018 Challenger Hellcat with 8 speed auto with barely any options comes in around $71K. I would expect the next GT500 to MSRP $67-69K base with manual and keep climbing in price from there. Fully optioned probably around $78-80K. This price point would be on par with Dodge and Chevrolet.
Wait.Forget any large amount of carbon, they got way too much push back from dealers originally with the carbon and price point of 83 to 85k...they need to be able to sell these against Chevy and Dodge.
