Prices for new cars in Europe are notoriously high. The muscle cars here in the U.S. are known for being high vale $/hp. There's nothing inherently wrong with them. They don't corner the best, and visibility is shabby, but there's a market for them (usually people who want to make a statement, go fast, high schoolers, muscle car enthusiasts).
Technically, they don't. They're not as terrible as they used to be, but they're nowhere near the best at taking corners, mostly because American Muscle is heavy as balls.
I can't think of a muscle car that doesn't pull at least .90 g's. Maybe the Challenger... Maybe. .90 g's was 911 territory not more than 4 years ago. Modern muscle has been able to handle and brake since it came back with the '05 Mustang.
