Every porsche I've had with the exception of the 2001 996 was pretty great on the highway. Tight cabins are my only complaint. |

Windy parkways, etc., are another matter. |

I thought the Mustang was the nicer highway car. The Porsche is loud inside, partly (mainly?) because of the engine, rather than the wind noise. And even with 3.73s, the V8 Mustang is more relaxed at speed than the Porsche, which spins a lot higher revs on the highway. Of course, the Porsche is a 3.2 six v. a 5.0 V8, and has something like 150 fewer hp.

Back 'somewhat' on topic, it is also a great car to take the kids on a cruise and enjoy top down scenery, some music and the smells of the outdoors. Some of the best bonding moments with my kids. I enjoy hearing stories from you guys (JST, Clyde, etc) of similar experiences with your kids regardless of what car it is in.
