Absolutly right ! You get one Aviation Design Mirage AND One Rafale for LESS than ONE BV Rafale....

Yeah your right, Porsches and Ferraris really do not handle, accelerate, brake, etc any better than a....hmm, what do you drive?
I drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2 wheels drive which I use sometime off road, and have some trouble keeping below the 75 mph speed limit. Even if I bought for 3 times as much a Porsche or Ferrari, I could not get them on my favorites trails in Big Bend without destroying them, and it would be a total waste anyway because of the speed limit. Sorry, but sports car like that are pure luxury (SUV too, to be honest), and have absolutly no practical use, at least as long as we are talking about the US. BTW, there is VERY FEW people able to drive Porsche/Ferraris to their limits, and NONE able to do that legally....
