you really need to drive a Porsche because the amount of faith that they give you in the daily drive is amazing, they just feel as if you can push them forever.

why not???? just because you own a S2000, that should eliminate the 350z? open your mind!

well you have a 500hp, v10 beast that weighs 3500lbs, compared to a 2000lb 4 banger MR car, to a rwd 4 banger.

With a difference of 50k almost? Not logical to me.

If your gonna compare the viper to a s2000 (50k difference), why not throw in a GT3 and have it smoke them all???
