Half of my drive (which was South Carolina to Houston, TX) was in the rain - no problems at all! Your car already has 43K miles on it, so it is never gonna be a top dollar earner at the Barrett-Jackson Auction, so drive it back, take your time, and enjoy the country and the car. I had a blast...

Saw your post over on the VCA - Congrats!!!! See, I saved the B/W for you just as you asked..... :D My opinion - drive it home! I drove mine home 950 miles when I bought it in June. I'm not sure what you are using to figure out your cost to go get it, but it cost me about $750 total in...

Thanks - now I just need to sell this bike to start paying for it...... :D I've seen your car over on the Alley.....Good job with it - I am not a purple fan but you did a good job with that color (it is not really purple to me). :rock:

Too late - just bought this over the weekend..... :D

Price drop - $10,000 obo.

Bellanger headers, Corsa exhaust, K&N filters, 1.7 roller rockers, MGW gas door and shifter, 19" wheels with Michelin rubber, cross drilled rotors - that I know of right now. I will find out more when I contact the original owner and get the car (the guy I am buying it from is going to give me...

OK, I took your "advice"..... :D My wonderful fiance decided to buy me a Viper yesterday since she knew I would never do it (I have to pay for most of it however)!!!! Here are the specs...... 1999 Dodge Viper 17,300 miles 1.1 owners (the guy I am buying it from had it for the last 4...

Nope, I've got my truck in my avatar as a daily driver. The Viper will be for nice days only, apparently you are not suppose to drive them in the rain..... LOL! :rofl: :vroam:

C'mon man, you've got one SRT something and I have zero, share the joy with others!!!! :D

Thanks for all the feedback so far! Since you seem very knowledgeable, what Viper would you suggest I buy near my budget? Thanks!

I am curious, what is considered high mileage on a Viper? The 96 B&W I was bidding on went to $37K, and these 2 99 RT/10's are right under $40k buy it now. I am flexible on $35k to get what I want..... :D Opinions on these two...

Thanks! I have decided to consider a 97-99 (99 preferred) RT/10 Viper as well, probably in silver. I would really rather have the forged internals if I want to up the power in the future..... :D

Very good advice, thank you! The '96 I bid on was a one owner car, clean carfax, talked with the owner before I bid, etc. It had 61k miles and went for $37,101. I don't mind the mileage since I will drive it also, so I am not looking for a low mileage investment piece. Since you have a...

Well, I had decided on a Gen II Viper and bid on a 1996 Blue with White Stripe GTS. I ended up losing with 2 seconds left in the auction. So I am back to square one. My problem is my budget is 35k or so for a Viper, and it is hard to find one that cheap for a Gen II GTS. So I guess I will...

I will drive it back and forth from work (7 miles each way), on the weekends, and short day trips. I doubt I will do any significant travelling with it. I've tried to like the SRT Vipers as much as the Gen II's, but I just like the Gen II's better (although they are not as refined as the...

So if you had my daily driver, which one would ya pick???? :D I like the 99 Viper the best also, however the colors I like are not available that year (blue with white stripes or the greys).

I grew up in League City, lived there from 1974-1993, went to A&M, then moved to Manvel. Just moved to the NW side of Houston earlier this year. I might just take you up on that offer, when is usually good for you? Thank you very much for offering! :rock:

I've been fighting with the same thoughts....that is why this decision is so difficult, there are many pros and cons for both. Thanks for the input!

Any other opinions before I make a decision???? :D

Thanks for the additional info! I am leaning towards the Viper for many reasons but also because it would be a totally different driving experience than the truck I drive everyday (although my truck is nothing like an SRT-10 Ram).
