You cannot compare a boosted 4 cylinder to a stock V8 or V12.
Fine since you seem to have need to keep this going I will reply to your post. A performance vehicle is one designed from the factory that is built with performance in mind (crazy right). Engine, transmission, chassis, suspension, and a whole host of other things are designed to operate at a different level than a traditional go from point A to B car. Of course their are different levels of performance but in your example one thing you forget to mention is the Camaro SS and the Mustang GT are built from the ground up to be a sports car and are some of the best bang for the buck cars on the road. Hell at a recent N-Ring test a BOSS Mustang placed 3rd beating out the majority of high end European sports cars. Their are bargains to be had as well if you consider how easy it is to mod cars like the Gen Coupe and for 5-6K you can have a Mustang GT pumping out over 500RWHP while still having a factory warranty. BTW I do not need to compare a boosted four cylinder to a NA V8...regular boosted four cylinders like the Mazdaspeed 3, Gen Coupe 2.0T, Cobalt SS, and an SRT 4 are more than powerful enough to get the job done.
