2020 'Clydesdale' GT500, 4225 lbs
https://www.autoblog.com/2019/08/15/...s-order-guide/
That makes it about 100 lbs heavier than the 5th gen ZL1 and somehow puts it closer to the Hellcat's curb weight than the current ZL1s. The Mustang has the edge in power to weight, but its a lot closer than it aught to be.

Heavy as hell, won’t see full hp until near redline but, really like the looks and styling. ADM is gonna be HIGH....
on a road course, want to see how it stacks up — that weight and rpm range will still make it tough to beat the zl1 1le — can’t wait for a head to head run! -Don

Wait soooo long for a car and this...
It's going to have a tough time beating the 3 year old ZLE on a road track. |

Am I reading this right?
The tranny and engine share oil? Oil pump with large inlet and high-pressure relief valve Full synthetic oil (5W-50) is required for enhanced engine protection at high loads and temperatures Cast-aluminum oil pan mounts to both the block and*transmission, which helps provide added strength and reduced engine vibration 11.5-quart capacity oil pan features active baffles to channel oil to the sump during extreme acceleration, braking and cornering

I read they were going to offer a carbon fiber package that would significantly reduce the weight and significantly increase the price. I do not see that mentioned in the specs released.
that all being said, Ford is doing a helluva a lot more with the Mustang that GM is with the Camaro today. That's coming from someone that has never bought a Mustang, and only owned Camaro's.

The GT500 should be a success given the time they took. I’d expect a conditional win (specific combination and circumstance needed). Like the GT* combo needed to compete against your average SS.

Ford states that if you want the GT500 w/ the Track Pack, it is an additional $20,000!!! You want painted-on stripes? That is extra $10,000!!!
If you want the ZL1 1LE (GM's Track Pack), it costs a mere $7,500. If someone isn't brand loyal and they simply the want the nastiest track monster offered in a 2+2, they'll surely opt for the ZL1 1LE, since it is ~$12,500 cheaper.

Cheaper to buy the zle and mod it ;o)
Stripes package price alone put in the zle will add 150 hp minimum ;o) The 2 together gets you a forged monster! -Don
