That's what we do in archery to avoid target panic.

AAaaand I went to see just what a Stag is. It made the 50 worst car list.

Depends who wrote that list.

To some, the Chevrolet Corvair is one of the 50 worst cars,
sooo dangerous with that 6 cylinder, air cooled, turbocharged engine fitted on the rear axle.

Uh... wait a minute...

6 cylinder, air cooled, turbocharged engine fitted on the rear axle...
...Porsche 911 Turbo, anyone ?

See what I mean ?  ;)

The corvair wasnt well thot out in the suspension, & yes, it too was on the list.

In them ol'days, not one single american car was well thought out in terms of chassis, brakes nor suspension.

It wasn't by chance that US racing was ni a straight line or around in circles for ... how many years? before you guys realized cars can turn right, too.

I still have a pretty old Corgi paperback, called "sports cars of the world", according to the author, racing driver Paul Frere, even a 1966 1600cc 126bhp Alfa Romeo sedan could run circles around a 1966 muscle car, provided there were no straights longer than the 1/8th mile.

Alfa Romeo, monocoque body, DOHC aluminium engine, independent rear suspension (DeDion) with coil springs, 5 speed gearbox and 4 wheel disc brakes, radial tires.

Muscle car, body on ladder frame, OHV iron engine, live rear axle with leaf springs, 3-speed gearbox, drum brakes (front discs opional),  cross-ply tires.
(I personally remember front disc brakes and radial tires becoming an option only around 1969 and offered as standard on some "sports packs" in 1971-73)

Of course, we can leave out the puny Alfa and look ad Italian muscle cars of the era, but it would be a no-contest.

Or, we could look at luxury sedans of the day, and compare a Citroen DS with a Buick of the same year.

Just to say, "animals" from different continents will evolve in different ways.
