Edmunds is reporting next Mustang will be 400 pounds lighter. Of course when that thread starts everyone will omit the fact that they are also reporting 15 inches shorter and 6.5 inches narrower. So yes a RWD Fiesta can weigh 400 pounds less.

Oh is Subaru making Ford a version of the BRZ as well as Toyota?

New model with good weight savings but too much wheel spin?

Do any of you diehards here know what the ground clearance is of the front lip of the new Z/28? I figured someone had asked somewhere, but didn't find an answer.
I'm just wondering how one will handle the rural road I live on.... might have to pay the twp to fix it right : )
I'm at the top of the list at a local dealer, unless the cost is way way up there.

ZL1 was just above the ankle

So it sounds like the clearance is about 5 inches, which is just shy of half my '69 Z/28's clearance up front. That shouldn't be too bad.

I think I remember seeing a pic of the Z/28 with a ruler in front of it but I can't seem to find it......
