Different strokes for different folks. I really enjoy the fact that my
silver S8 is very reserved looking, and stealthy. Once insde, particularly
at night when the white indicators spin up the red surrounds, it feels like
piloting a low flying jet. I think it is a combination of looks and feel,
and sound.

When I had my Viper it was more "instant celebrity" than in my current
Vette, but if I were going to go sit in the garage and just stare at a
machine, it would have to be a 12 cylinder Ferrari.

I still say, buy a used S8 for the price of either of the cars being
considered, and have it all!!
