Could You Imagine That Ford Racing Has a Sense of Humor?

I absolutely admit the statement that “less is more” and I think that it is better to reduce weight but add horsepower. Also I am fond of Mustangs and all I wanted to know is how much weight could be taken off a new Mustang. According to Ford its 5-speed GT weights 3,300 lbs, and this is not too bad of course. But it would be much better if it weighted 3,100 or even 3,000 lbs.
So trying to find out the weight of the FR500S Mustang race car I came to the Ford Racing web site. As the result I have not found any useful information but I have found a downloadable window sticker. There was a description of the car, equipment, prices wait…what’s this?

Oh, this turned out to be not usual window stickers – its designers obviously decided to add … mmm… some intellect. For instance,
Fuel economy: Green flag: gulps fuel. Yellow Flag: sips fuel. Red flag: uses no fuel at all”
Warranty: “What, you expected 5-years, 50,000 miles?”
Estimated Annual Champagne Cost: “Big Bucks!”
And still I have not managed to find out the weight of the FR500S!!! Can anyone help me?
