Hey now watch the remarks about the Viagra crowd!

Older men also buy fast cars because they always wanted one and with kids growing up never could justify the expense.

Then when they finally can afford them they buy them so they can have some fun before they get too old to enjoy it!

What is that Viagra stuff anyway....do you put it on your hair?

Check the ownership rolls of the new SLS . . . not many spring chickens in their ranks.

While we're on the topic of midlife crisis cars:

Miatas. Sure they are fun to drive, but seriously 50+ year old men in them?

Get something that says macho, not cute.

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.
