When I had a Mustang, I always saw similar comments to what I read here. Can you get a Mustang to achieve Porsche like performance metrics? Sure. But it’s still not a Porsche. The thing is, everyone is always using Porsche as a benchmark.
When you realize that, then you start to understand why Porsche is kind of on a pedestal. And certainly you can say that about Ferrari or Lamborghini etc. However, Porsche is still somewhat attainable. The only way you find a $30k Ferrari is if it’s a project car. You can find well sorted used 911s for less than that and of course Caymans as well. And if you truly enjoy driving, these cars will hold a special place in your garage.
I used to be in that group where I would never spend that amount for a Porsche when I can make my “insert car here” do the same thing. It wasn’t until I started getting the opportunity to test drive Porsches or drive a colleague/friend Porsche that the lightbulb start to come on for me.
