I'll bet your  enthusiasm  does not take into account one or both of the
following:

  1) The Mustang needed a tune-up.  
  2) The Mustang was an automatic.
  3) The driver of the Mustang didn't really know how to race.
  4) The driver of the Mustang didn't really want to race.
  5) The driver of the Mustang wimped out at some point.

I know that in my Capri with the 5.0 V8 I can put it in second  gear and
go from 10 to 60 in 7 seconds,  at which time the tach reads  about 4600
RPM.  The  Daytona's  and the Laser's  are nice cars, but I still  think
that V8's are faster.
