It's not that American cars couldn't handle well, Ford GT40 smoked Ferrari 4 years in a row. Shelby Dayton did handle decent too.
I'm sure Panoz Esperante GTR would out handle most Lamborghinis and Ferraris.

I think people are making fun of Mustang and Camaro because they were in fact, shit.
Do I prefer it over GTR and other sportscars? No, because American muscle cars can be bought for $20+k with V6 model. Which makes higher model unattractive because it would lack exclusivity and average joe will look at GT500 as a normal Mustang or a Mustang with some accessories.
