If you're comapring a Mustang to a Sentra, it isn't a apples to apples comparison.A more fair comparison would be the 240sx trans vs W/C T-5 (5.0 Mustang trans for those who don't know). The 240 trans is stronger than the FWD Sentra trans and it can take 350-400 hp IIRC.It's also the same trans used in the SR20DET Sylvias and the pickups.Mustang's not a bad car, it just doesn't have the sophisticated chassis the 240sx/Sylvia has and is limited as to what you can do with it to make it handle decently.
