I buy what I can comfortably afford, and in the lower 100K price range, the 911 is the car best suited for me. Until you have driven one, you can't compare it to other more powerful cars like the Viper. Its the same principle as the Z. Even though the Z is less powerful than a similarly priced Mustang 5.0, a lot of us here like the 'feel' of a Z more than a Mustang. Oh and the Cayman S does not have the same feel as the 911. No matter what the review people tell you, you know the engine is in the back and you drive accordingly.

The only time I would say 'What if' is if I saw a GTR (not the Viper), and that does not mean I would ever trade my 911 for a GTR.
Cool, interesting perspective. What about lotus?
