S650 Mustang vs S550 Mustang Curb Weight Comparison
In this article, we analyze and compare the factory curb weights of the outgoing S550 Mustang GT with the brand-new S650 model. Whether through advanced lightweight materials, chassis engineering, or interior trim, even small weight changes can have a noticeable effect on performance. We'll discuss how the S650 measures up against the S550 on the scale.

There have been a ton of rumors circulating around the curb weight of the S650 generation. People have said that the new S650 is around 200 pounds more than the equivalent S550, but that's just false. We took the time to weigh each Mustang ourselves and the results are clear. The S650 is not only lighter than the S550, but it also makes more stock horsepower than the previous generation.
It remains to be seen which will be the go-to generation for enthusiasts looking to create an impressive track or drag car. The S650 seems to be better on paper, but the lack of tunability means that its ceiling could be significantly lower than the S550.
