I recently sold my 1992 911 Turbo to purchase the house I have been renting since my divorce. While I didn't want to sell it, the time was right both in the selling prices of 964T's and the housing market in Fort Collins. On the plus side the 911 did appreciate it while I owned it so that was nice....
I have been without a "fun" car about 5 months now (my 1966 Mustang is in storage on the lift in the garage so that doesn't count) and have been looking on and off for something fun to drive to the airport and commute in (I posted a thread a while ago about using a 944 as a DD).
Fast forward to a few weeks ago and a friend of mine's son called saying he would like to sell his 1992 Mustang LX 5.0, after discussing it with him, I purchased it. I have worked on the car on and off over the past couple of years and its a rust free 2 owner car with 120K on it.
I started typing out a big comparison, but there really isn't one. My 911 cost over $100K in 1992, and the Mustang was around $16K give or take.
There is a definite difference wrenching on the two of them, especially on the interior.
There is also a definite difference in buying parts for them.
The Mustang makes me feel 18 again and more like a holligan than the Porsche did.
In summary, the differences in engineering / materials and overall feeling of the two is very interesting. So are the comments I get from non car people, "Oh I see you got another red sports car".
Over the years I have had a few 911's and a few Mustang's, I like them both, and I will drive this one for a while, maybe tweek it to about 400 hp and just have fun. Another 911 is in my future, and who knows, probably another Mustang.
