Pic request all different suspension combinations

Actually curb weights are about 300lbs different, might not seem so but theres alot more metal in the 2.5.
 
this isnt really the right thread for this. but you cant take the curb wieght of a zetec tour and a duratec tour and determine the diff. in wieght is all in the engine..its not. fact is,like i stated,the i4 cast iron,the v6 is aluminum.
 
I think everyone should just post their suspension info as well as their wheel/tire size info. Although then it may be repetitive of the wheel/tire pic post.

true, however the duratec does weigh in at a hefty 360lbs (fully dressed) and the zetec is only 115Kg (253lbs) thats a difference of 107lbs. its still not a huge difference. the extra 200lbs in the curb weight comes from extra options that were standard on the V6 and only optional on the zetec.
