Most Porsche owners are too "poor" to own a F430 or 599GTB. I'm not sure why that makes anyone mad. Sure there are guys who drive F150 pickup trucks that could afford an Enzo, they are called outlyers not the mean or median.
But any guy who can afford the more exspensive brand can obviously afford the cheaper car.
That doesn't mean that car should be judged on their price. But most of the time not always, price is dictated by how nice the car is.

If Porsche could charge $280K for the Turbo they would. If Ferrari couldn't sell a car it would be priced a lot lower. If Corvette could sell its car for $100K it would.

Ricky Bobby doesn't care if his car has plastic or leather on the dash. It looks really cool to him, goes really fast, and he can afford it. If he could afford a Porsche he probably wouldn't purchase one because Porsche doesn't market to Ricky Bobby just as Corvette doesn't market to Doc Hollywood.
But the confusing thing is that many of the same things that make a Porsche appealing to Doc Hollywood also make a Ferrari appealing. The Porsche guy may think that it is to over stated for his lifestyle though.
The difference between the Porsche and Corvette is that the Corvette actually has more over stated looks than the Porsche even though it is cheaper.

The Porsche is the classiest of the three. The Ferrari is the flashiest of the three. I really think the Ferrari and Corvette owners have more in common even though they are at the opposite ends of the spectrum in regards to price. The Porsche guy wants everyone to know how successful he is and loves cars. The Corvett and Ferrari guys want to scream at everyone how successful they are and love cars. So if you love your car who cares what the other guy thinks. Be yourself and drive it like you stole it.


Thats a great reply
