So just because the a Mustang is slower than the same year Camaro or Trans Am, they shouldn't be compared against one another despite the fact that they compete for the same segment of the market?

Go ahead & compare the two. Just don't come back saying the Mustang is a disappointment because it's 4.6 engine couldn't beat the F-body's 5.7..

Whether you want to admit it or not you were getting very defensive about the Mustang being slower than the Trans Am/Camaro. Why? It is Fords fault for sticking a badly engineered 4.6L V8 into the Mustang. lol GM had the right idea with sticking the 5.7L into the F-bodies. Most Mustang owners have to play catch-up to compete with a stock F-body that is at least 6 years old now...

This is the best way to describe it, seeing as i've driven both.
GT= *****
V6 = pre puberty

To the OP: Are you going to be racing it at all or just street driving? You already said you were going to modify the outside. If you aren't going to need more power, go with the V6 and make a nice looking Mustang. It will save you some coin in the original purchase. If you decided you are going to modify for more power after driving it, you can make power with a V6 as well. V8 owners just don't want to admit it.
