An STi is 3300lbs dry.

My WRX with a full load (me, wife, kid, fluids and baggage) is probably over two tons (4000+lbs) but I assure you it's still plenty quick.

What I can't excuse about the Mustang is the lack of a IRS, that is stage coach and work truck tech. I imagine a Cobra version would have IRS in a year or so?

IRS is nice, but meh..more parts, more hassle... people have been able to get solid axles into the 1g on the skid pad, and not too many people make fun of corvette owners because they use leaf springs... I think it's all relative.

tell people all you want that the focus is the better handler over a stock stang, and only those on the focus boards will care.
