This isn't exactly the case. This has happened in the past, where CAFE standards affected the advertised output of an engine slightly. Although it is signaling a 20 hp drop, in actuality the Mustang won't really be any slower or faster than it is already.

I heard that GM was able to compensate for the change, and thus no advertised output change.

On the other hand, enthusiasts must realize that the "end" is eminent. With the push for electric vehicles and heightened awareness of climate, there will be forces that will diminish the great American performance vehicles as we know them today.
