You really don't, at least not yet.

Not everybody places any importance or value street racing and stoplight challenges - no matter what we drive (you did notice, right). There is a guy I know who has built up an early Mustang into a road course beast. It's NA and will put any showroom stock GT500 on the trailer every time - it runs 10's in road course trim (his friends call it slow). From their point of view, none of the cars you mentioned really have any street cred in stock form either.

As far as weight on the new 15' Mustang. NOBODY says it will be heavier, and I mean NOBODY!! Don't take my word for it though, if you would do minimal research you will see what i'm saying is true. Not every car has to weigh 4k pounds (see Corvette, current Mustang).
Evidently you aren't keeping up to date. No weight figures have been announced, and there are rumors of 3500-ish - 3800-ish (I'm too lazy to look this up).

So besides stating completely true FACTS, is there another reason you would prefer I stay off your site?
How about you read this whole thread before jumping to conclusions regarding the price, which is the only piece of on-topic content I've found in your posts here?

Then remember that neither the Boss 302 nor the Camaro Z/28 was developed for street racing or even drag racing. Not now, not ~45 years ago. I've been there, both times. They are road course cars, and you have to understand that first and rank it first on a gut level before you can possibly understand this particular section at Camaro5.com.
