They rip the Nismo's "tight shifting" transmission ( no mention of the advantages of synchro rev) but say that the mustang 5 spd is good for what it is. ?!?

I think the car mags are tired of being flogged and blamed for discrediting the domestic auto industry and I think this is another instance where they have swung the other direction. It kills me how overwhelming positive most reviews of the mustang are with subtle qualifiers like (for a solid axle car, for what it is ...etc.) I thin its pathetic that ford has never developed Independent rear suspension.
Not to get into this again, there was an old thread for this, but Ford did and the Mustang enthusiasts didn't like it.
