I wasn't talking about the Bullitt, but that's a bunch of BS as well. Ford's listed curb weight for the Bullitt is 3273lbs, and the GT Premium is listed the same. Ford's listed weight on the GT Base 3241lbs. Even maxxed out, the weight difference between a fully optioned GT Premium is only 32lbs. Not 200lbs. The Bullitt hardly weighs another 168lbs more than a GT Premium. If you're weighing cars on a scale there are always differences. They don't have exactly the same amount of fuel, the scale can be inaccurate. What's even more inaccurate is guestimating what parts weigh on a car. That's how the legend that the Fox GT weighs 200lbs more than the same car in an LX 5.0 body does. You know, those ground effects are pretty big, they probably add like 100lbs. Then the GT has different seats, so that's like 75lbs, and say an LX comes with no options (yeah, right) and that's like 25lbs so a GT weighs 200lbs more than an LX.
