Fair: To each his own. However I still have to play devil's advocate here.
What is "real muscle"? - Something subjective I supposed
What is "Best mustang ever"? - Relating to straight line speed only I hope.
What is "Take the track on just fine"? - Surely you don't equate this to "Optimum design we know of"
What is "Nascar racecar" - That's what Fred Flinstone drives right?
Not trying to write an essay explaining why these are opinions based on american manufacturer's prehistoric tendencies and emphasis on cutting costs and cheap upgrades (The main reasons why manufacturers even chose RSA in the first place) rather than fact pertaining to actual speed AROUND a track as you mentioned.
It used to be true that SRA could take more power than old IRS systems however nowadays with the materials we can make that no longer applies... Many cars w/out RSAs will go plenty faster than ANY muscle cars in a straight line. And guess what.. they will go MUCH faster around corners as well.
