A Successfully Redesigned American Legend

I like the look of the 40th anniversary edition of the Ford Mustang. At first I thought it was an Infiniti G35, but then I could see subtle hints of the classic Mustang shape come through. Is it slick enough to take a shot at the Japanese competition? I sure hope so! Like every red-blooded American boy, I love fast, stylish cars.

Here's the Mustang along with eight Japanese rivals:

Ford Mustang

Acura RSX
(200 hp. and 2778 lbs.)

Honda S2000
(240 hp. and 2809 lbs.)

Infiniti G35
(280 hp. and 3435 lbs.)

Lexus IS 300
(215 hp. and 3255 lbs.)

Mazda RX-8
(250 hp. and ???? lbs.)

Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS
(210 hp. and 3241 lbs.)

Nissan 350Z
(287 hp. and 3217 lbs.)

Toyota Celica GT-S
(180 hp. and 2500 lbs.)
