The newer model Mustangs are fairly quick from 0-60. I have a 2006 GT and it puts out 300 hp and 320 ft lbs of torque (stock.) I believe the 0-60 times are about 5 seconds - nearly identical to the XF SV8. However, with another 120 hp on tap, as you already learned, the Jag will walk away at highway speeds.
Of course that''s STOCK. My Mustang has 523 hp with a supercharger. It''s still only about as fast as a stock Mustang from 0-60 becasue I can''t keep the tires from spinning. But on the highway, holy crap that thing is scary.
Can''t wait for my SV8...

the mustang for 0-60 in low 5s are manuals only...most people will be lucky to do it in 6 with launching it...the autos arent nearly as fast either. Regardless... no matter how fast it is, its a mustang and you dont look or feel nearly as good doing it as a Jag !!

Very true regarding the launch. Do it right and you can get the low 5s, do it wrong and it''s an entirely different story.
From the reviews I''ve read, in order to get the best 0-60 times in the Jag, you have to power brake and have it in sport mode or use the paddle shifters. I wonder how much time you lose by just punching the gas from a stop compared to power braking?
I think driving the Mustang vs. the Jag are two completey different experiences. My mustang is pure muscle. It''s jouncy, unpredictable handling in the turns, and it''s very noisy. However, it gets a tremendous amount of attention...in a completely different manner than the Jag, of course. My Mustang is black with black 20" wheels, lowered, tinted windows, supercharged, loud exhaust, great aftermarket stereo, and the 5-speed manual REALLY adds to the driving experience in my opinion (some cars with manuals just don''t inspire me.) Anyway, I absolutely LOVE it. Out of all the cars I''ve owned it''s my favorite. And one of the least expensive!!! 
Well the Jag is just the opposite in terms of refinement, interior noise, and image...obviously. I wouldn''t hesitate to drive it all day long on a trip, whereas I''d be very sore in the Mustang.
I guess I''ll just drive whatever car I want on a particular day depending on my mood!! I feel very blessed.
