Now I do think you made a valid point. Did not know the 2011 Mustangs improved there suspension to the point its at now. So I take back my comment with one exception:

- That is the best solid axel Ive ever seen BUT still a poor design. An uneducated guess would be that the 2011 Mustang prob wont get any better with that axel. And I still dont like the way they look.
1) Regardless of whether or not the Nismo is fairly priced, it's still within the range of the Boss. If not a Nismo, you can take a look at a Sport/Touring/Nav Z and it will be pretty close to $40k as well.

2) Solid axle might not be the best suspension design, but they found a way to make it work and that's all that matters. It's going away with the next gen Mustang and the looks are supposed to be more modern as well. The next gen 5.0 is currently #1 on my list of potential next cars. C7 could be an option as well. Nissan would have to do some major performance upgrades for me to consider getting another Z again, especially with the way it's price has been creeping up year after year with no real improvements.
