if both of these cars ran into each other doing 40 mph which would come out best? My moneys on the fox. No one cares about the drivers health so keep that in a volvo forum.

From a 40 roll or standing start or whatever, a stock fox 5.0 would just be looking at the 2011's taillights as it walked it going down the road.

Considered a new platform by Ford Motor Company, D2C is loosely based on the Ford DEW platform which served as the basis for the Lincoln LS, Ford Thunderbird, and Jaguar S-Type. The 2005 S197 Mustang was originally designed to use a "Lite" version of the DEW98 platform, but while that plan was eventually scrapped as too expensive, most D2C platform development completed prior to that decision was retained. This led to the carryover of several DEW98 chassis components. These components include the floor pans, portions of the transmission tunnel, the front frame rails, and basic fuel tank design.
Differences between D2C and DEW98 are most noticeable in the suspension: The DEW98-based Lincoln LS uses a 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension. The D2C platform's MacPherson strut front suspension and solid axle rear suspension are less expensive to produce than DEW's more complicated setup. D2C also shares components with other Ford platforms. These include Ford's global C1 platform, with which D2C shares front strut and rear trailing arm components.

it has no components of a fox chasis. of course it has a different suspension from a LS/t-bird/s type, but most of the chasis is the same.

let see, that means the roofline, body, rear suspension mounting points, and a few other differences. that really doesnt make it very similar to a FOX.
my bad for not saying the suspension is different, and the mounting points are different. i assumed that when everyone already knows they are different i didnt need to. jeez.
