I mean, I've also rented a whole bunch of Mustangs over the years, and none of them impressed me all that much.

The new 5.0 liter is however a different animal. I started a thread on it here a week or so ago.

Foolish is the man who does not listen to sage advice...and one wonders why ill fortune befalls them...for they do not pay attention to their own hearts...and follow the path that the great spirit in the sky wishes them to follow.

They have fallen into believing that the world of men is everything and have forgotten the unseen world of the spirit..Yet it is the unseen hand of the spirit that moves the world through the unconscience world of dreams, imagination and heart.

when one turns their back on the spirit world the spirit world lets you befall your fate unaided.

You have corners in Arizona???

the one you will love, P
The one just to get you there, Mustang.

Buy the 997 and rent the occasional Mustang. The depreciation hit on a new Mustang will buy a lot of rental days.

Thanks to you and Kaisen (up-thread), I am beginning to see the light.

Foolish men chattering and jabbering away as if they had some wisdom to impart..but the silence of any true wisdom being imparted is deafening.

Gawd, am I getting sick of this uninformed viewpoint.
Drive a 5.0 hard, then report back
Or AT LEAST read the reviews of this car, then comment
Don't just regurgitate 30 year old convention

Yes and keep looking in the mirror and you will eventually see me come up behind you. But by then it will be just a bit too late... :)

So...buy the Mustang and rent a 997? God, I hate it when I get these wrong!

Have driven both and there is no way to compare them. The Porsche is a Porsche and the Mouseturd is typical in that it goes fast in a straight line but worthless in the curves. As well its value takes a nosedive once its out of the showroom floor.

That comment tells me that you haven't driven the 5.0 liter.

The world of men should be considered..but it is the world of the spirit that will lead you to the true and correct heart felt answer. The one that will lead to contentment and happiness with the decision that you make..

If you get a mustang, you can hang out on mustangforums.com with people like this.

tabs 07-01-2010 03:26 PM

So to put in into language you can understand..go drive the fking things again to reinforce their strenghts and weaknessess, to make sure that they are clear and not just an idealization. List all the pros and cons put all that noise on the shelf for a weeek or two and just sleep on it..and you will come to the decision of which one you really like the best..the one that makes you the happiest..

In th end it will probably be the 997 that just tweeks your heart a bit more...

What is so fking hard about this???

The rest of this fking noise is just plain stupid.

I think the Mustang would be fun for at least a few years. After that, I cannot say. Paul certainly likes his, and the new one is very compelling.

Do a Youtube search of SR 89 between Jerome and Wickenburg. It's one of the best roads in the country. I haven't doen it in the 993 yet, but on the bikes many times.

Definitely go with the Porsche...Think of the image it projects, one of weath, fame, success.

Mustangs are just so common. Not only that, you need to grow a mullett if you buy one.

I was just pulling Joes plonker—figuratively speaking I hasten to add.

We actually drove that road last year—from Wickenburg right through to Sedona. It's pretty damn fine—even though large stretches of it (at altitude) have curves that are a little bit too tight to really enjoy in anything other than a go-cart IMO.

Its unfortunate that you did not read the post above yours where it states that I have driven both.

Maybe you should get the Mouseturd. The two of you would fit nicely together! :)

Would you please stop pulling on it? The ladies are saying that it hurts already, so larger is not going to help me any.

Just buy the mouseturd and drive between Flagstaff and Phoenix on the main road, as curves would be difficult for you. We can meet you somewhere in a big parking lot where you would not get lost! :)
