Does anyone know the numbers for the 94-98, 99-04, and 05 Mustangs? I remember reading about the 05's that they seem to have dramatically improved weight distribution to be closer to 50/50 but I don't remember the numbers and I'd love to see these numbers on the last two Mustang bodystyle generations. Since they are both that old ?fox? platform, I don't expect they (94-98 vs. 99-04) will be much (if any) different than each other.

The 1998 numbers can be found here:

Recent 8-cyl models are listed as 57/43 (including the Cobra, so they say). The 05 is listed as 53/47. I am not sure about 94-98, but I suspect it would be close; 1994 still had the 5.0 so it's likely to be a bit different that the 4.6 V8s.
I'm not sure if 94+ models are on the old Fox platform or not... anyone? Is it an improvement of the older one? I always thought it was entirely new. Hmm
I would suspect the 79-93 Fox Mustangs probably have more weight distributed over the fr>Does anyone know the numbers for the 94-98, 99-04, and 05 Mustangs?
The 94+ is still on the Fox chassis, Ford made a few changes and called it the Fox-4.

Weight doesn't determine everything. Just look at the 03 and 04 cobra. Quite the heavy motor hangin in there, yet they handle amazingly well due to the suspension setup. granted, a neatral weight distribution should the basis for a great platform. I did notice the battery in the 05 planted right against the firewall, on the passenger side.The 94 AND 95 mustang GT's still had the 5.0, which is probably a lighter motor than the modular 96 4.6 engine.
