Mustang HP vs Other Vehicles

Before I start the topic I do want to say that I am very pleased with the performance of my 05 V6. And from reading this forum I am sure the GT is awesome. Plus there is no way I would trade my Mustang for anything else.

Okay that said, let me ask - Did it seem like on Sunday's coverage of the International Auto Show that everything that was around 4.0 and 4.6 had more HP than the Mustang? Did Ford mess up by not making the engines just a little more powerful? I think they did. It doesn't seem right to have such a good looking car that reminds everyone of the Muscle Car Days that might can be outran by a soccer mom in a minivan or SUV.

Good grief, Ford did not design the V6 Mustang to have that much HP on purpose, aka insurance costs etc. Repeat this over and over, it's not a GT, it's not a GT, it's not meant to be a GT.
Do you really own a Mustang? You keep bashing them.Tell the truth now.

My Mustang's 4.0L V6 - 210 HP
My wife's Honda Accord's 3.0L V6 - 244 HP

Yep, that's not good. I love my Mustang, but Ford should have given the V6 about 270 HP and the V8 about 350. Time marches on and Ford hasn't kept up.
