Default '95 Dodge Viper vs. '07 RS4

I want to play a little game with you... I'm on duty for the next 17 1/2 hours with a guy who desperately wants a 95 Dodge Viper, and said he would take that over any other car. I want to convince him that for about the same price (well, a little more) an '07 RS4 would be way better... To me, it just seems to obvious to try an explain, so maybe you guys can help...

*Edit: my counterpart would like to mention that it was in the rain, therefore, unfair... I said that's what make quattro so awesome

Just another reason why you'd take the Audi over the Dodge... doesn't matter if it's raining or not. It's going to kick some people in the dick.

RS4 vs Viper is a strange comparison.
Not many Viper fanboys would appreciate the RS4 fully... or vice versa, really. One is a plastic and steel piece of junk (relatively) that is ruthlessly fast and flashy as hell... the other is subtle, refined, and pretty fast.

Do you like apples or oranges? :P

Jesus... I literally LOL'd twice on this, once the first time I saw it, and then again when I scrolled back up to quote it!

Honestly, he was a young guy, 23 I think he said, and I think back when I was younger, I would have given anything for a Viper as well. But they have lost their mysteriousness to me. I've seen a few Vipers before, in real life, but I don't think I've ever seen an RS4...

I did see an S8 5.2L on the back of a transport truck coming back from Florida at a gas station. I stopped and stare for a good 3-4 minute before I realized the truck driver was still in the truck. I waved, he waved back, and I continued on my way...
