It just seems like an odd choice. Do many 'stang guys end up in Porsches?
And it isn't that the people who own them are soulless - it is just that the car seems a bit 'vanilla'. As I said, even the Saleen, which has like 460 lbs of torque and a gear ratio that sets it off screaming, lots of suspension tweeks, a re-tuned interior and lots of changes to the exterior, ended up being sort of 'just a car'.

"Vanilla" suits me just fine...I'd had it up to my eyeballs with some of the people my old 911S attracted...this a long and old story I really don't want to get into here. The old 911S became worse than "just a car" to me...
In many ways, I miss driving the old 911S. In more ways, I don't!
