I know everyone is entitled to their opinions, but I've never liked the fact that there are so many different Mustangs available. I don't like pulling up next to an elderly lady driving a Mustang because it makes my car seem less "badass". Granted,I have a GT and the old people I have seen in Stangs usually have the 6-cylinder models, but I still think it steals away some of the glamour of these cars.
If you want to own a mean hot rod, the reason you choose these cars is because of their heritage. I think that having slow and weak versions of these cars takes some of that away. Yes, the first models of these cars had lower HP than what's available nowadays, but for their day they were faster than everything else.
I also think this is why GM has refused to make a watered-down, slower version of the Corvette. People would flip out because the image of the Vette being a speed machine would be tarnished...even though they would sell huge numbers of that car with a V6 option.
Just my 2 cents.
