They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

I took these pictures at the Indianapolis PRI show yesterday. I personally love it in person!

It may depend on how expensive the oil gets that's used to make tires with real sidewalls. LOL
Between the oil reserve they found in the Dakota's and the new oil field that BP/Conoco/Phillips just found in the Gulf, I would say we are not gonna have that conversation for another 100 years.
 
I bought my fox new and personally this is the first new design that I liked immediately after seeing the official pictures.

do tell though...Is it bigger, smaller or about the same size as the current Mustang?
 
Fundamentally, the new Mustang's major dimensions are very similar to those of the outgoing car. Its wheelbase is an identical 107.1 inches, its front track measurement is carried over and at 188.3 inches the overall length is essentially unchanged. The new car then goes its own way, sitting 1.4 inches lower and 1.5 inches wider. Compared to today's GT, front track increases by almost an inch, while the rear track expands by nearly 3 inches.

They did say the weight would be saved "across the board" which I would have thought meant all models but I agree it doesn't look like weight was saved. It will be interesting to see if weight was saved, and how much lighter the turbo is than the 5.0. I'm a little (note: little) disappointed about the size, I would have loved a smaller and lighter car, might even be more keen on the turbo 4. Heck if it were up to me, the car would be a foot shorter, 6 inches skinnier, 2 inches lower using 17 and 18 inch wheels (not these 19 and 20 inch monstrosities they need to use now) with all components scaled down for the smaller and lighter car. It would be using a 1.8L turbo 4 base (~250HP) and a 3.8L V8 (~340HP) as GT with an intercooled (single or twin)-turbo V8 as the ultra (GT350 / 500 / etc) model. (Oh dreams...)
