It's just how I feel, and I fully admit I've never driven a porsche.
A fellow member on 6speedonline got this with stock tires:

Do you really need more G's than that?

I agree with you, it does depend on preference. The preference being if you prefer lateral vs longitudinal G force, luxury vs performance, and so on.

But its next to impossible to tell a 911 owner they overpaid for their car. Its almost like a cult car (or at least it was).

Oh and longitudinal G force with launch control is 1G for future reference, not sure how much it is on a viper (I'm sure Viper can do even more)
