Sorry but what makes you think the Viper is worth $130,000 or even $80,000.
Because other over priced cars cost that much? I would be much more inclined
to purchase a $50,000 ZO6 Corvette that according to Car and Driver is a
faster(yes faster) better sports car. I also disagree, the Prowler IS
assumed to be a retro performance car, retro yes(looks very cool)
performance NO and again is over priced. Sorry just my .02.
