I prefer to think of the current car as in "continous" refiment since 1979.

I'm not all that crazy about the new chasiss anywhosit since the LS is 4 wheel independant. Besides the old fox based chasiss gives whiney magiazine editiors a chance to reach for the thesarus and complain about the how the mustang lacks the dynamics of the Marenello 550 or S2000, or whatever.

However it is interesting to note that they gave the now defunct f-car low marks in the handling department compared to the mustang, especially given the fact that the f-bodies switched the front suspension to an SLA type affair and have a torque arm set-up out back, which is supposed to be superior to the strut/suicide link set-up the mustang has.

So; A they guy who designed the mustangs suspension (the same guy who did the GT-40 chasiss) is a genius, or B those magazine types change moods faster than your pregnant girlfriend, or C reviews are based on Ford approved content.

Then again if they keep the live axle out back for us non-Cobra types (you can toss it in for the V-6 guys too so they can have something to brag about and look down on the GT guys) I'll be happy chasiss wise.
