I just weighed my 07 GT down at the gravel yard. With a car load of junk and a full tank of gas it weighed 3,480. so I don't think there as heavy as car and driver says. If I cleaned out my car (mostly tools) and had a 1/4 tank of gas it would weigh about 3,400 pounds. I was allways told the S197's weighed 3,800, thats why I had mine weighed, I couldn't believe they weighed that much and they didn't. Needless to say, the S197 weigh a lot less than the 4,150 of the new challenger.

I don't know how many times I posted this but here it is again.
Way back when I got my 05 Mustang GT, I put it on a truck scale. It weighed 1580 kilograms( approx. 3476 lbs ) with a full tank of gas, full weight and no driver or passenger. On the exact same scale, same day and just after my car was on the scale, my friend's 04 Mach 1 was put on the scale. Same deal as mine, full tank of gas, full weight and no driver or passenger. His car weighed 1585 kilograms( approx. 3487 lbs ).
My car has:
Redfire GT with Black Leather seats
5 spd manual
Shaker 500
Active Anti-Theft
Interior Upgrade Package
Side Mouldings
17" Bullett Rims
The only options it didn't have was the Machined Rims, Shaker 1000 and wheel locking nuts.
The Mach 1 is an Azure Blue/Black Leather 5 spd manual with Interior Upgrade Package. I do know that there is a significant difference between a SN95 GT and Mach 1 when comparing them weight wise.
It's still like carrying a fat guy round in your car all day.
