You are correct, the Mustang (considering how far as they have come in the past 20 years) felt disconnected and "lite" on the road (not planted or sure of itself) compared to even a base Boxster. While not a main priority, I do still value straight line performance since many of our roads, on ramps, etc are fairly straight and I figure I'd get on a track maybe 5 - 6 times a year. The quality difference between a 2013 Mustang and an 08 987 are just worlds apart too. Though to be fair Ford has come a long way and they are building for the mass market and a much lower initial price point but in no way are they even in the ballpark of Porsche.
