On a serious note - i think the two car are verys different and it really comes down to what you want. Mustang interior is horrendous and always has been. The 996tt interior is a bit outdated given its 6-10 years old, quality and build wise it is still light years ahead of the newer Ford. I feel like Boss 302 would be easier to drive faster around the track unless you are experienced with Porsches since they take a different approach. If you want a nice track car in that price range - Z06, with nice brake pads and good tires will be unstoppable.

I purchased a 996tt about a month ago and I have been very satisfied. It has the tan leather interior with the wood trim and navagation. When I was looking at the pictures of it online I wasn't sure about the interior but once I went to look at the car in person I found I was completely wrong. I love the interior and I get compliments about it all the time. I don't find that the 996s interior is dated in any way. I love and enjoy both the interior of my 997 gt3 and 996 tt and have no complaints at all. In my opionion my turbos interior is wonderful and I'm very happy with my 996 in every way.

And that's coming from a guy who has dropped all luxury for a Nissan...

Matter of fact, don't read this post.
I'd own a Ford long before I'd ever even begin to consider a Nissan. Everyone has their preferences though.
