Hello, 1st post and few Qs if you please?

[Gregs24]

you must be new here....

OK OK - they guy is comparing a Mustang to a Cayman. You can modify a Mustang as much as you like but it will always be playing catchup to a Cayman. It is starting from a different place. My point is if you are after a GT car the Mustang is fine off the shelf purchase - but not if you want a direct replacement for a Cayman.

Depends what uwant really, the Mustang regardless on platform, requires a few things to get it "Up to scratch" tyres, exhaust being two of the main ones. Now unless u got a MY18 which auto fixes these....

Regardless, it was a bit of a joke as everyone here mods theirs.

Ermm, not in a straight line it wouldn't. We're talking about a Cayman here and not a 911.

I had an unexpected passenger ride in a GT today; a friend of a colleague moment.

Two things: it made me crave the cabin quality, LGB precision and prestige of my car, but the noise of the engine and exhaust of the Mustang made the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

Looking forward to my test drive on Wednesday, but I know this is going to be a very tough call.

if you like being the village yob the mustang will suit you down to the ground if you like knowing everything is in its right place etc then stick with the porker

 

[Scylla]

Good analogy. I think I’d like to be the village yob, but would only ever be a pretender

the mustang is loud brash and awesome fun its unpredictable and likes to go sidewise.
euro sports car (i'll just say sports car as they're all considerably better than the mustang) are all engineering brilliance they'll do exactly what you want when you want etc point squirt and it'll go just fine its predictable and will do and more often than not will be described as boring (especially a porsche).

they're 2 entirely different beasts entirely decides what you like. I like being the yob so mustang suits me having said that i've also now got a mclaren on order so \o/ like a bit of euro polish too i guess (just not a german piece )

I went from Lotus Elise to Mustang - decided to keep the Lotus for now - both are fun in different ways.

Which Mclaren do you have on order hinch?

Yep I had a late 90s S Reg Elise ... £25k back then and really basic but great fun and handling, expensive though...remember paying a grand for a service and a few parts

Mustang handling is very wayward. There's stuff you can do to tie it down. But I'm a great fan of the way you could "theoretically" hang the ass out and smoke the tyres just like in the 70's movies..

When we move home and I get my man cave/workshop which is imminent I don't think they'll be much cash left to fill it with the car collection I'd want. But I could get 3-4 muscle cars for the price of a McLaren. For me it's about fun not just capability and my first port of call with a lottery win would be: http://pttmgarage.com/

So if you have a Porsche and like to accurately and clinically negotiate corners at speed stick with the Porsche. If you want to hoon about sideways even with the nannies on buy a Mustang. If you have a great amount of spare cash buy loads of Mustangs/Camaros/GTO's/TransAm's or a just a McLaren

Ermm, not in a straight line it wouldn't. We're talking about a Cayman here and not a 911.

But most roads and tracks do have corners. 981 Cayman S is quicker in a straight line - the 718 Cayman even quicker still. Evora was my other comparison which would also leave a Mustang for dead on the road, even though straight line performance is similar.

As Avdb says they are completely different types of car aiming at different audiences
