It's a shame, really, as the old Trans-Ams and Mustangs were really powerful cars.
LOL, you are kidding right? The V8 mustang GT's are hitting 0 - 60 in no time at all, the mustang cobra's are down around 4.4 seconds or so. The new one coming out in 2005 is going to be just under 500bhp. The new mustangs blow away the old ones, have done for quite a while now

What about the viper, vett, etc???

I do agree you see V6 mustangs all over the place but a V6 in the USA isn't for the most part near as fast as a V6 in europe. Different tuning ideals I guess.
