I think the European car guys get jealous because the Americans can make a fast car for 1/3 of what there guys can. Vipers and Vette's allow you to go fast for $100k or less. At the track where BS walks they usually do pretty damn well.
Plus you can fix the American cars, good luck trying to get a water pump for a GT over a weekend of racing, or a wheel and some suspension parts if you stuff it. Your weekend is over. I can go to Autozone and get a water pump for a Viper or Vette.

Your well aware here we are talking about a $30,000 viper...My mother looked into a Viper RT/10 before landing on the SL600 instead and I can assure you the names of Ferrari, Porsche or any other Euro Exotic never came up. A Viper looks good, sounds amazing but its no where near in the same class as an exotic. Its in competition with a Corvette, Ford GT. As far as getting a water pump at auto zone for a Carrera GT your comparing apples to bowling balls here. One is produced on a limted production and one has tons build a year. Lot more Vipers around then a $500,000 Carrera GT. I dont think Euro owners are anywhere near jealous at tracks. Not from what I see. If anything its the young Jap car owners **** talking with everyone. Auto X courses. STI, 3000 GT and Civic drivers are the ones talking and there like 20 years old.
