Speaking to high number production cars not ferraris and lamborghinis. Maybe I am wong and its just my perception of reality and that the true reality is different, I will try not to be so stupid next time.

I'm hoping your kidding and don't seriously think you are being stupid for thinking this... in fact I (and many others) agree with you. When people think of "Muscle Cars" they think back to the late 60's / 70 era. Some of the V8's back then pushed out similar HP numbers to the modern day V6 Camaro, and thats a fact. Is the modern day V8 faster? Hell yes! The current stock V6 Camaro may not be a super fast car by todays standards, but it still has pretty respectable power, and decent MPG too.
You have no reason to apologize to an internet forum warrior / SS elitist.
