That is true, but, when the 5.0 Fox was in its prime in the late 80s-early 90s, 225 horsepower in a lightweight body was quite formidable. The CHP cars were in LX trim, and were devoid of any of the aero mods and frippery of the GT models, and legend had it that when they hit 120, the front ends became light enough that control become very difficult. I never pushed mine that hard on the street, of course.
These days, a 5.0 Mustang makes 480 horsepower, a GT500 makes 760, both from the factory. Plus, they can handle and stop a lot better than the disk/drum solid-axle Fox Flintstone chassis.
