European cars are where it's at.
The 2 liter 4 cylinder engine in the turbocharged version of my car could output 180hp. It's stock acceleration was 0-60 in 7.3 seconds. (With modern turbochargers they can output up to 265hp at the tires). It's contemporary Ford Mustang could output 220 hp from a 5 liter V8 (the mustang at the time weighed over 3000lbs and the stock 2002 weighed just over 2000 lbs). American cars have been getting worse since the late 60s.
Plus your car is a beast, it's almost not fair to compare it to a mustang at all.

Oh come on, it's not a beast! It's got almost the same dimensions as the Mustang, both 2door coupes, same output (hp), same weight..

Mine's just way more awesome :D

I really like that your old ass teeny 2002 does 180 hp... that is totally cool.
