Huh? Are you saying that someone who is buying a Viper CAN'T afford a
Porsche? At that level of Automobile, $25,000 is chump change.
Maybe not for you and me....but for someone that buys these cars, price is
RARELY an issue.

Comparing the Viper and the Porsche is like apples and oranges...
The Porsche can be driven by anyone year round, your grannie can drive it to
the Bingo parlor and never get into the Bag-Bang zone. It is a very
civillzed car.
The Viper is for guys who need to lay 200 foot rubber patches to make up for
the bald spot they are getting on their head.

Gimme the Porsche anyday, otherwise I can't hear Granny over the Viper's
exhaust...   ;)
