Ford is upgrading all there trannies to 6speeds. I know I saw it quoted somewhere, but dont know where. With the engine, brake, tranny upgrades and the regulation complicance it will gain more than 50lbs. It will gain weight, how much is the question.
I'm thinking the tranny, engine and brakes will gain < 50 lbs. The added safety will probably tack on another 100 lbs, but that's still a couple years away.
