The GT 86 had a baseline of about 160bhp at the wheels from 200bhp at the flywheel and weighs 2670Ibs = 13.3Ibs/bhp
The GT 86 turbo had 280bhp at the wheels. 280 x 1.25 = 350bhp at the flywheel and call it 2700Ibs = 7.7Ibs/bhp
No contest!
Then there's the handling we mustn't mention.

The site you looked at is really off. The Mustang GT has 420 HP and the Boss 302 has 444hp. There is NO mustang 5.0 it's called the GT and it is also a pretty damn good track car so actually it would be a pretty good contest. Sorry for off topic.
