I know several guys that have street driven Mustangs that can run under 2:10 at thunderhill. If they are running a full Griggs or Maximum Motorsports suspension and are really good drivers they will be under 2:05s and you will have really big troubles.

Actually every car on your list with a few mods and a decent driver will go under 2:15 at thunderhill. The reality is the good drivers of those cars just haven't been at the same events as you. Here is a sample of the touring car results for the OTC. these cars were all in the touring classes and the stickest tire they could use were A032Rs or Michelin sport cups. All these cars were driven to each track. There are some pretty impressive numbers there.
