    SRT-10 or Porsche 997 S Cabriolet

    Hey guys, just stopped in to see if there were any more replies and I'm surprised to see that there were. Without a doubt, I feel that if I had driven the Viper there would be a very good chance that I'd purchase one. I've always joked around that all I need is a big motor and wheels and I'd be...

    SRT-10 or Porsche 997 S Cabriolet

    Thanks guys, I wasn't sure if I was alone in thinking the dealership blew it on this one. FYI, it was Capistrano Dodge in Orange County. I just came back from Huntington Beach Porsche and put my deposit in, it will be a 2006 model with delivery hope of July or August. I'm confident I made the...

    SRT-10 or Porsche 997 S Cabriolet

    Although the seat lowering may help, my mind is made up, Porsche is it. The dealer treatment also weighs in with this decision. You are right SankeEye, this is not my "true" dream car. As my budget allows I keep working closer to what it really is and it changes constantly as new models come...

    SRT-10 or Porsche 997 S Cabriolet

    I didn't get to drive one! I can't believe how ridiculous Dodge is, even though I drove up in my wife's $78,000 2004 Range Rover HSE they wanted to run a credit report before they let me drive it. I was like, it's expensive for a Dodge but it's not expensive as cars go. I'm not about to lower my...

    SRT-10 or Porsche 997 S Cabriolet

    Thanks everyone for all helpful replies! I've decided I'd regret any decision without giving the Viper a test run. I've found a couple dealers somewhat nearby that I plan to visit tomorrow and hope to get to take one out. I'm more stoked about this drive than I was about the 997. I'll let...

    SRT-10 or Porsche 997 S Cabriolet

    Hirohawa Not true, that's one of my major issues with the Porsche, the Vette has spoiled me with the power/price ratio. It makes it difficult to spend so much for no power increase. I'm done with the Vette for now, the new style just doesn't do it for me at all. I don't think the Boxster is for...

    SRT-10 or Porsche 997 S Cabriolet

    hemotox I'm only 34 so I don't need a Cadillac ride but I do want something that is daily drivable and reliable. I do like the fact that the Viper is tons more powerful and more unique, way less of them on the road witch I like. Porsches are everywhere and definitely won't turn heads like...

    SRT-10 or Porsche 997 S Cabriolet

    I'm in a predicament and can use advice from the members here. I'm finally able to move up from my 02 C5 convertible Vette to one of my dream cars. As you probably guessed from the subject, it's between the Viper SRT 10 and the new Porsche 997 S Cabriolet. I've already driven the new Porsche...
