Double stacking Vehicles.

I would like to know if you could stack a 07 Ford Mustang GT with a Porshe 996 GT2 with a 10' ceiling at all?

I gave stacked an s class and an sl in 9' 10" in my garage. It is very tight, but works. You will need to be sure the opener and door won't be in the way. Also, may depend on how the safety points on your lift align. I think my lift has them every 8 inches, and then you need to raise about 4 inches to release the safety. So, if you just miss being able to get the lower car in by an inch, you may actually have to raise it 8 ( and leave 4 more of clearance) to make it work.

typically the 4 post lifts are 4" thick some 6" for the where the tires sit so,

Car height + 12" + Car height = what in your case?

I think your combined heights would clear, but it depends on where the safety locks are on the lift, like has already been said.

Most lift manufacturers provide a detailed calculator to help you determine whether or not their particular lift will fit your available space and vehicles. That is what we used prior to buying our lifts. We have a sports cars fit one on top of the other with a 9' ceiling. Your Mustang is higher than my cars, but then you have a higher ceiling height. As mentioned don't forget about any potentially low hanging obstructions in your considerations.
