If one is considering both vehicles then they are being compared, they just are. I hear you in the different nature of the cars but both the R8/Cayman and Mustang/911 have more in common than they don't. In the OP's case, we are talking 2 seaters, sporty in nature, borderline impractical. Now one is punching a huge fuck off engine and the other has a revvy higher strung engine but fundamentally, more in common than not.
In my case, we are talking 2+2 seaters, convertibles, both potentially a DD but also 3rd car potential. THis is not a Camry vs Lambo debate.

I will clarify as I am struggling to convey my message. Yes the PP2 has a great grip, great fun on cloverleafs, big brakes etc. But, from a rolling start, there's just so much power that you tickle the gas on say an on ramp and you are at 150kmh in the same gear you started in and in no time at all. I feel there is more .... engagement... with an engine that needs more revs and a gear change or two to get from 40 to 150. This doesn't make the mustang a bad car, it is compelling for both the price and the ability to DD the thing.
