    Anecdotally speaking, Randy (lostnight) bought a V6 Mustang a few years ago and I'm sure he still likes his.

    Also, over at Mustang6g.com there is a very handy "What Things Weigh" thread.

    So they state (the fastidious #1 fan site for all things S550), for the record, that a 2015 Mustang GT weighs thusly:

    2015 Mustang GT Performance Pack 300A - MT82 Transmission:
    Curb Weight (scaled at BMR) - 3,736 lbs
    It's officially around 25 lbs. lighter than a Camaro SS. #murica

    Which may be losing around 200 lbs. LET THE PONY WARS CONTINUE!

    Also, I said this in the very first post in this thread:

    And then I was laughed at and TSG pulled my pants down in the front of everybody. #sniff #iwuzwrong #butsoclose!

    Where are you getting this? Everywhere I've seen pegs the SS at like 3850. The base V6 weighs 3700lbs. I just don't see how a fully optioned model with two extra cylinders and a beefed up transmission only adds 75lbs.

    Edit: GM says the V6 LS weighs 3719 and the SS 1LE at 3860.

    Yeah, that is from Wikipedia that lists 3750 as the weight for all of them. Edmunds, R&T, and C&D are publishing the numbers from GM's website. which are as I listed. I am pretty sure 3860 is the right weight for the SS - because I also remember my outrage when the 400hp Camaro was announced as weighing exactly the same as my 400hp CTS-V except with less doors and a smaller trunk.

    But I thought that you didn't like the weight listed for the Camaro SS from HodRod.com?

    No matter, I can accept 3,860-3,888 lbs. for the gen V Camaro SS.

    So a 2015 Performance Pack Mustang GT is about 110-125 lbs. lighter than a 2015 Camaro SS -- sound more accurate?
