Porsches will get beaten in the 1/4 by those two cars, but compare the powerplants....Porsche-6 cylinder, Viper-10 cylinder, Corvette-8 cylinder. Not making excuses just saying, that'd be like saying "a civic si can't hold it w/ a Z28"..also...as said before, many more factors are involved, porsches are more refined than either of those cars. I've ridden in a viper and yes its fast as hell, but its also loud, much louder than a porsche. I haven't ridden in a vette ever but have been told that, at least the older models, had poor fit and finish. Which car would you pick if you were going to take a road trip? another thing, porsches have 4 seats, albeit the bucket seats in the rear are for legless midgets
