If you only care about horsepower the Mustang is a great deal. However, the European version just sucks. Even in the sixth generation they're a good portion slower than the Camaro SS

Let's boost the mustang as well and see what numbers we get on the charts. There another more potential remaining in the GT

12.9 1/4 mile time in a mustang gt? Were they looking at a 2008 model?
