What is the weight of an 87-88 Turbo Coupe with a 5.0l engine?

According to this, It looks like when the heavier standard equipment on a Turbo Coupe are factored in, the stock 2.3T is probably at least 150lbs lighter than a stock 5.0.
As I see it, there would probably have to be that much weight difference or Ford would not have traded off the torque of a 5.0 to put the 2.3T in SVOs.
Its too bad that the twin overhead cam 2.3T that was planned for SVOs in 1987 never made it to market.
Ford would be nearly 30 years ahead of where it is now on four cylinder turbo technology.
