Without further ado, here\u2019s the important number \u2013 the car tips the scales at exactly 3,843 pounds. For what it\u2019s worth, Ford advertises the 2024 Mustang GT with an automatic gearbox at 3,832 lbs, which seems pretty fair considering the fuel in the tank. Also, it\u2019s worth noting that LMR<\/em>\u2019s measurement shows a weight balance between the front and rear axles of 55 to 45 percent.\u00a0<\/p>\n The video also makes a quick comparison with the previous generation Mustang. It takes a 2018 Mustang GT with the Performance package as an example and that car weighs 3,860 lbs with a full tank of fuel and no driver. Give or take the quarter tank of fuel and the number the 2024 Mustang GT is weighing, the numbers are almost the same. We\u2019ve read comments about how the new Mustang could be heavier than its predecessor and it might be depending on the specification. But in this case, the numbers aren\u2019t that different.<\/p>\n Just recently, we saw the new Mustang in Dark Horse trim on the dyno where it maxed out at 408 horsepower and 357 pound-feet of torque at the rear wheels. However, it is worth pointing out that these numbers were registered in less-than-ideal conditions. You can also check out how the 2024 Mustang GT performed in an earlier dyno test.<\/p>\n
