In its shape and substance, the 2008 Ford Mustang recalls the popular pony car of 1967-69. The Mustang relies on simple architecture to achieve its impressive results-rear-wheel drive, a solid rear axle, and a big engine up front.

The 350Z shares its platform with the Infiniti G35 sedan and G37 coupe. ..... |
