In brief, the 2005 Mustang GT will be heavier than the 2004's because of added safety equipment (to meet gov't standards) and larger size. However, the added horsepower still compensates for the additional weight making it faster in the 0-60 and quarter mile. The new GT is comparable to the Mach 1's as far as track times go. It is said the ride feels more "solid" than the 04's. Keep in mind, these were completely stock runs and the drivers capabilities, track conditions, etc. will affect times...

a v6 weghs about 3300 lbs from factory, the GTs weigh about 250 lbs more. the 05 GTs are supposed to weigh within 100 lbs of the 04 GTs. and how is the mach1 so much heavier, there is not that much difference except in the engine.

the weights of the cars is all wrong as well. the mach 1 weighs 3460 lbs. the GT weighs 3390 lbs and a cobra weighs 3730 lbs. the new GTs weigh about the same as the mach 1, estimated at less than 3450 lbs, and have 5 less hp and 20 less lb-ft of torque. i am estimating mid-high 13s in the 1/4 mile based on the info that i have and depending on the driver.
