Because, you know, someone in the C7 Gen forum might want to know about that stuff and not know there are other forums here. In fact, why even have other forums, let's just have one giant forum for everything here. That would be awesome!

Good grief....I'm out.

So just chill.

No $hit, Jill.

There's a specific section of the forum for this.

So just abide by the forum rules

LOL it really isn't THAT heavy. Compared to the C7 maybe (but I thought we weren't doing that). What does the SS Camaro and SRT Challenger weight again?

Not the first year for IRS Mustangs, Terminators had it.

I do wonder what was up with all the hype about the big weight reduction and the big power jump the 2015s were supposed to have. A little disappointed now that I have thought about it.

But I bet you already knew that.

He's still two years old and still a new born here too...Leave him alone...

He can't help it.

Thank God they moved this thread over. I thought the earth was going to stop spinning around. That was close.

Nothing worse than an old fart with a hair out of place in a comb over...
