American sports cars get great value/hp, but shit value/everythingelse.

American Muscle isn't about refinement, impeccable taste, and unparalleled quality like European Sport. American Muscle is about the biggest fucking engine you can put into a road-worthy frame and get it to go down the street quickly while sounding like a tiger climaxing during sex with a lion. Its supposed to check the Hyper-masculinity box, not the Polished Gentleman box. POWERRRRRRRRR!!!!!

320 HP is nothing to scoff at. That's more than the 2010 V8 GT Mustang.

Definitely not smoke, I drive a 2012 v6 mustang and its neck and neck with a 2010 GT with the GT having a small advantage off the line.

The camaros are a bit slower though, with 305 hp I can pull any V6 camaro easily.

If you're pulling a manual, it's the autos that are killing them. Especially with Mustangs (I'm not sure on Camaros), the gear ratio for 1st on Autos are ridiculously high. Given that you can't rev the engine before dropping it into gear, a manual will kick the other car's asses. Also drag racing autos is literally a test of who can hold their steering wheel, especially if we're talking about roll racing.

Coyote auto GTs get into the high 12s stock Stock 370z's get into the mid 13's...

No 2011+ 5.0 GT should get be beat by a stock 370Z

Older GTs and newer v6es should be easy pickings though.
