"bad" is from a point of view. As I see it...structural rigidity (eliminating the need for silly strut-braces, and subframe connectors), saftey, refinement, and more power....all the things that cost lbs...are not bad. I view weight as merely a cost-of-entry. In my opinion...if you want a featherweight race car...buy a race car...like the Vette........Or, you cen get a tin can, like the genesis coupe...
I swear...the more I read about weight, and how fickle people are over 200 lbs...I'm amazed at the ability of people to fool themselves into believing what they want to....
That said, I'm not so stupid as to not recognize that weight = bad for speed. So I agree with you. I wish the 'trend' would stop as well. Realistically...it won't. :(
I'm interested in this Mustang's new upgrade...it'll be interesting if it actually lures buyers...the facelift didn't...
but...why do people think it'll weigh 4000 lbs? That's kinda out there, if you ask me...
