[QUOTE="Klay, post: 16078294, member: 45120"] I think where your analogy goes wrong is the assumption that adding weight to an existing figure is the same as something being designed to weigh a certain amount. To use your example, there is a difference when you suddenly add 20 lbs to a person who weighs 200 lbs compared to a person who worked out to hit 220 lbs. Person A would feel the extra heft and yes his body would get more fatigued or hurt quicker. Person B though wouldn't notice the extra weight because his body is accustomed to that weight. Adding a blower and other aftermarket parts on a mustang gt will add weight. Your analogy would work there because the gt wasn't designed with that additional weight in mind. However, a gt500 designed around being 4100 lbs (as an example) will be more robust from the factory. So there is no reason to believe parts will fail sooner. Ford still has specific quality goals that the vehicle has to pass. Ford would just have to use beefier parts elsewhere to make up for the additional weight. [/QUOTE]
