i had a 2002 rt/10, now a 2003 srt/10. the gen III for me is way above what i
had with the genII.
my number one choice was having a real convertable - srt/10 - also being able
to put the top down yourself in about 15 seconds is very nice
interior feels much more like a cockpit of a plane - much nicer feel and looks
in the srt/10
seats fit and feel much better in the srt/10
more power and huge difference in brakes (night and day) srt/10
more trunk space in srt/10
cup holder (lol) funny but is nice to have (really)
larger rear wheels (19") looks more aggressive and looks better in wheel well
performance, handling, ride, comfort, much better to travel in goes to srt/10
looks - front goes to srt/10, rear goes to rt/10
opening of hood - gen II looks better when opening from windshield but gen III
is so much easier to work or clean the engine area. on gen II constantly
hitting head on the hood on the gen II but for a car show the hood looks better
on a gen II
feel of the power in first gear goes to the rt/10, this can be change by new
gears for the srt/10 which is not expensive and rather easy to do. i think this
happen because of the larger wheels on the rear. however once you go into 2nd
gear the srt/10 whips its arss from that point on.
shock and awe from kids 2 - 6 years old go to gen II, 6 - 100 jury still out
but i get about the same responce that i received from the gen II.
right now you can get a much better deal on a srt/10 and just watch when the
supply finally goes down the prices will hold or even move up a little, you
have a small window to still get a great deal on one. i for one think in the
future you would be glad you bought a srt/10.
ALL THIS IS JUST MY HONEST HUMBLE OPINION, HOPE THIS HELPS WITH YOUR DECISION,
IF I CAN BE OF ANY HELP PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME.
