The 2020 HPP is 1 CC (chubby cheerleader) heavier than a standard EB?

The only way to know for sure is to weigh the car. I would say the 10spd auto be has to be at least 100lbs heavier than the manual or 6dpd auto.

There have been folks on this forum that have weighed their base Ecoboosts and they have come in in the mid 34xxlb range.

I don't think Ford is very consistent with how they define curb weight.

I looked at that document. Ford has never published curb weights of cars based on options and I find it surprising that they are publishing numbers for the HPP when they did not for the PP from previous years.

Anyway, the 3535/3542 numbers are with a car with 17" wheels which would mean it's a Base. Those are also the same numbers they have been publishing since 2015. The HPP has a 40 lb increase in weight with the automatic that I would expect to see in the Base numbers.

Start adding in the extra weight of 19" wheels, larger cross section tires, bigger brakes, larger radiator with additional coolant that comes with the HPP it is pretty easy to see where the additional weight comes from.

As I said before you won't know for sure until you weigh your car.

I find it amusing that folks on Mustang forums constantly call the Challenger a big heavy pig with curb weights in the 42xx to 44xx lb range, yet I have not heard a peep about the 41xx lb curb weight of the GT500.

Ford Australia are quoting a kerb weight of 1,716 Kgs for the auto and 1,705 Kgs for the manual version.
Doing the conversion to pounds, the auto weighs in at 3,783 lbs !!

That's another 112 lbs on your US version.
But the Austrian cars are what is called a Premium in the US. Start adding in the dual zone HVAC, leather seating, Sync 3, sub woofer, etc. that comes in a Premium I can easily see an additional 112lbs.
