If its burning a lot of gas then it is more then likely rich which can foul plugs and if bad enough, wash the cylinders. Rich isn't good for making power, you want the car leaner but not too lean or you risk blowing up the motor. Get that thing tuned asap! Even if you can't find a dyno tune (Which the car REALLY needs) have Frost do a mail order tune at the bare minimum. If you are going to be running with Stangs that are cam'ed and bolt ons, if they have a good tune......you will probably lose

Phantom Black Metallic- 2004 GTO M6
If you get it tuned, you should run with, if not, pull away from a Mach. Machs were rated at 305 hp and 320 ft/lbs/tq. Also, if you can hook the rears and not blow the diff, you should be good.
As for the Shelbys, you MIGHT be able to hang with them. You are running naturally aspirated...the Shelbys are running superchargers. There are some members here who have ran with or left Shelbys behind and I am sure they will post here.

Black- 2002 SS Camaro
I have beat a Mach 1 when my car was stock so you will definitely beat one unless your tuneless ness is basically pouring gas into your car

Don't be stupid, get it tuned!! Especially if its your daily driver and u plan on racing against anything. You more than likely are putting down less power to the wheels than stock with longtubes and a cam and no tune. After tuning you should have no problem smacking mustangs and mostly anything else out there on the road though.

To answer your question, if u don't get it tuned your not going to only be worried about stangs blowing by u, but also cars like civic si's and scion tc's will keep up with u. A car doesnt run right without a tuned especially a modified V8, i wouldnt even be driving it until tuning.

Im tuned and i just smoked (without the bottle) a new assuming stock mustang GT (still had paper tag). Im sure he thought he was fast. Just wait till i get the sucker stalled and retuned. Im tuned but have made few minor changes so running slightly rich.
