According to Ford's official spec sheet released today, the new 2011 gained a bit of weight. The manual transmission equipped car weighs in at 3,875lbs, while the auto box weighs in at 4,000lbs. Wonder if the primary weight gain was all in the new 6 speed transmissions?

...no effing way it could gain that much.

Pretty much. But if I was a moderator on a Camaro forum today I'd have sand in my vagina, too.

Well you can't have 5L of displacement with 302ci. It's one or the other. They fudged the numbers in the 80s. That 302 was actually a 4.9L.

Well, 4.951L rounds up to 5.0L. So, if 302ci = 4.951L, then 302ci = 5.0L. Atleast if you're using Ford math.

Fixed that for you. Wouldn't want you to have to endure the wrath of the perfect people for making a mistake.

How about we just put the formula for measuring the volume of a cylinder on the fender. That way, we won't have to worry about defining pi past three digits without offending any potentials from the slide-rule-toting-math-**** segment, who might happen to cross shop the new Mustang GT with something a little more practical. Like a space shuttle. Or a shiny new calculator.
