new edgemustangs are aroud 4400 lbs stock that is the down side to them
lol you are misinformed. a stock 5-speed v6 weighs in at just under 3100 lbs. Hell an automatic convertible GT doesn't even get close to 4000 lbs.

i am talking about new edge btw. the S197 is about 200-300 lbs heavier depending on the model.

Factory-to-dealer shipping weight on my 2000 5-speed V6 was actually 2995lb, surprisingly enough.

That ~4400lb isn't the actual weight, it's the gross weight which includes having (4) 150lb people in the car, full fluids, etc. It's basically the maximum total weight of the car plus cargo.

Depends how far your willing to go. if you get rid of your ac, your seats, your speakers, your sideview mirrors, your dash, air bags, console and allllll that. THEEEEN get carbon fiber interior, doors, hood, decklid, you could probably loose 600 pouds\

That was a sotra random guess btw
why would you replace the interior with CF if you're trying to save weight. THere's no piont in ripping everything out and then replacing it with CF unless you're going for the look, because its gonna be expensive and why remove stuff, and then add weight back, just gut the interior and leave it.
lol i didnt mean replace it all after tearing it out. Actually i dont know what the **** i meant hahaha. Ignore me

haha, its ok. I got majorly flamed for asking about replacing the interior with aluminum panels on 300ZXclub, I mean, MAJORLY flamed, lol. I try not to flame others though, because its something that just kind of comes out without thinking about it. haha.

There's a guy that goes by "BlueWaterDemon" or something like that on 3.8mustang who has a lot of weight-reduction type stuff done on his single-port. Couldn't hurt to ask him about it.
yeah his is about 2600lbs

mine stock with a full tank of gas is about 3400lbs
