The article claims..
The male driver of a V6-powered Mustang, with its 210-horsepower engine,
clearly has "enough" power. Probably more than enough.

Having just rented a V-6 Mustang at Ontario airport recently, I can honestly
say that there were many situations, as I was driving to Rancho Mirage, that
the car was seriously underpowered and so I totally disagree with the "more
than enough" assertion.
