The M235 is 3505 lbs. with a manual. The Mustang is 3705 lbs. in GT trim with a manual. That is a 200 lb. difference.

Maybe you were thinking of getting the Mustang with the 2.3 liter, 4 cylinder eco-boost. That model is just a touch heavier than the M235 at 3532 lbs with a manual.
I was wondering where he was getting those weight numbers from. Sounded so off to me as mustangs have always been heavy.

Anyway I think the M2 will be lighter than the M235i so with more power a better chassis, stiffer suspension it will be incredible. It will be like an M235i that's lighter, stiffer, more controlled and more powerful.
