The 2022 Ford Mustang is faster than ever, but it stands no chance against these classic track monsters.

For over 60 years, Ford has continued to improve the Mustang to what it is today. Now in the sixth generation, the 2022 Ford Mustang comes with better handling and performance and starts at a retail price of $28,000. Although best suited for the track, the new Mustang makes for a great daily driver that'll have no problems comfortably navigating the city.

The Ford Mustang EcoBoost is the model's most economical option that comes with a 2.3-liter inline-4 engine rated 310 hp and 350 lb-ft. The engine is mated with a 6-speed manual transmission that enables the Mustang to reach 60 mph in 5.1 seconds. While this performance is quite impressive for an entry-level model, there are some classic sports cars with better acceleration. If the new Ford Mustang ever finds itself on the track against these 10 classic sports cars, the outcome would be embarrassing.

The Ferrari 512 BB (Berlinetta Boxer) was designed by Leonardo Fioravanti and was available from 1973 to 1984. The 512 BB was a replacement for the 365 GT4 BB and had a mid-mounted flat-twelve engine.

Ferrari enlarged the engine to 4943cc to put power production at 355 hp, and the Ferrari 512 BB can attain 60 mph in 5.0 seconds. The world's motoring press regarded the Ferrari 512 BB as one of the best all-around Sports GT of that era. Only about 929 units of the 512 BB were made, and it's pretty difficult to spot one around today.

The Lamborghini Countach LP5000 Quattrovalvole (QV) is one of the many insane sports cars designed by Bertone. It is a rear-wheel-drive sports car with a beastly 5,167cc DOHC, 4-valves per cylinder engine with a power rating of 455 hp and maximum torque of 340 lb-ft.

When it comes to performance, the LP5000 QV outshines even Ferrari’s limited production 288 GTO. It darts to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and tops out at 183 mph. But Lamborghini only produced 610 units of the LP5000 QV.

Yamaha is widely known for making motorcycles and musical instruments, but in 1989 the Japanese brand decided to build a two-seater vehicle that looks like a perfect blend of a Group C racer and a Formula One car. The Yamaha OX99-11 is not a traditional two-seater, in that the second seat is actually behind the driver, so the mid-engine supercar can maintain a central driving position.

The Yamaha OX99-11 was equipped with a 3.5-liter 72-degree, 60-valve, V12 engine with an output of 560 hp and a top speed of 217 mph. The OX99-11 is underpinned by a carbon-fiber chassis and weighs only 2,535 lbs.

The XJ220 was the first production supercar by Jaguar and came with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 mid-engine that puts out 542 hp and 475 lb-ft of torque. This performance machine tops out at 217 mph and takes less than 4.0 seconds to complete 60 mph, making it one of the fastest production cars of that era.

With only 281 units made throughout the run of the Jaguar XJ220, the base price was pegged at a whopping $700,000. The body of the XJ220 was made of aluminum and honeycomb material, so it weighed only 3,025 lbs.

The 1993 Aston Martin V8 Vantage is more bullish, aggressive-looking than modern Aston Martins. It came with a 5.3-liter twin-supercharged V8 engine that delivers up to 550 horses and 550 lb-ft of torque. Although handling sucked, the Vantage gained an advantage on the track over the Ford Mustang, thanks to the 4.5-second 0-60mph acceleration.

The 1993 Aston Martin Vantage came with an aluminum and steel chassis, and just like the Jaguar XJ220, the 1993 Vantage is rare, with only 281 units made.

Just at the mention of the Toyota Supra Mark IV, vintage car enthusiasts and collectors will become elated for many reasons including the performance, power, and body of this supercar. The Mark IV is an awe-inspiring blend of Toyota's Supra and Celia that's equipped with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6.

This fourth-generation Supra makes 321 hp and 315 lb-ft of maximum torque. But what's more exciting about the Supra Mark IV is the blistering acceleration to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds. Not only does the Supra Mark IV outpace the Ford Mustang, but it also outruns the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and out-corner the Acura NSX.

The F50 is perhaps the most underrated Ferrari supercar ever. Featuring race car components, the Ferrari F50 was also toned down for the road. Succeeding the F40, which dominated the motoring world, Ferrari had to go the extra mile in ensuring that the F50 lived up to expectations.

Ferrari boosted the 3.5-liter V12 to 4.7-liter and was mounted on the F50, which has a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis. The curb weight of the F50, which puts out 513hp, was just 2910 lbs. Speed tests showed that the F50 was just as fast as its predecessor, having a top speed of 202 mph.

The 1995 RUF CTR-2 Sport is a speedster that's based on the 993-chassis 911 Turbo. To reduce weight, the sports car was made out of Kevlar, and it came with the same 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat-6 engine mounted on the Porsche 962 Le Mans Group C car. The engine was rated 520 hp and 505 lb-ft of maximum torque.

Built for ultimate outright performance, the CTR2 Sport featured a roll-cage, adjustable boost control, and a clutchless RUF EKS transmission. It takes the 1995 CTR-2 Sport only 3.5 seconds to achieve 60 mph.

In a bid to challenge the dominance of Porsche and Ferrari at the FIA GT Championship, Mercedes-Benz introduced the CLK GTR in 1997. The CLK GTR is essentially a mashup of a CLK racer with some road car trims. With a 6.9-liter V12 engine, the CLK GTR releases 612 hp and 571 lb-ft.

The powerful engine provides the ballistic acceleration that takes the CLK GTR to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 214 mph.

Porsche’s desire to compete in factory-based GT racing events led to the creation of the 911 GT1 Straßenversion, which is basically a Porsche 993-based 911 with a 962 rear-end and a futuristic 911-inspired carbon fiber shell finish. The 911 GT1 Straßenversion comes with a 3.2-liter twin-turbo water-cooled flat-six engine that pumps out 544 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque.

Weighing only 2646 lbs, the 911 GT1 Straßenversion was light enough to sprint to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds. Even though the 911 GT1 Straßenversion usually lost to the ferocious CLK GTR at GT1 events, the Ford Mustang comes nowhere close.
