What was the point of this post? Are you trying to say your Mustang is a better car than a 911 turbo? (or a 944?)

I have three things to tell you:

1st of, never decide anything by racing ONE guy, on the street. The car might not have been a turbo (do you know how a turbo sounds? the regular 911's wail will surprise you), there might've been something wrong with it. There's something called turbo lag... Also you don't know he could drive it the way you're supposed to, to extract power from it, or make it go fast around a corner. (THAT is one of the main reasons why a Porsche is so rewarding to drive).

2nd, There's more to a car than simply how fast you can go when you "punch" it. I have NO doubt a 911 turbo that's in good shape can spank your mustang. Hell, even I can spank your mustang at an auto-x with my "dinky" little 944 NA, it's exactly half the size of your engine... Yet I beat mustangs daily at speeds above 50-55. They have NO top end.

3rd, because of reasons like the lack of feed-back, build quality, and good handling, "I" think a Mustang is a complete piece of garbage. This is purely objectional, I'm sure you can make a good point by arguing how cheaply you got it, and that it can go 0-60 faster than any other car at it's price range, however you forget that a proper "sports" car can also turn and stop well too. And THAT is why the 5.0 is NOT a good sports car.

Moving UP to a Porsche will cost more $$$, and it doesn't seem to be a car that'll suit you well. So keep the $$$, and the car!
