I personally love the GEN 2's. I won't own a sports car that is a convertible.

The hood and front end is what made the viper. They ruined that with the SRT's but gave it a lot of nice upgrades. Keep in mind though, older vipers are more expensive to replace parts on (20k just for the hood from dodge) so if you have any kind of spill in it and it touches the hood it's most likely totaled.

The SRT's panels are readily available and much easier to come by. The hood wow's people when you open it. Point blank. I can easily miss an SRT driving but to miss a GTS or Gen 2 its hard. They are very bulky looking and have a more aggressive look, in my opinion.

Many excellent points. I wish the Gen 3 looked more like the Gen 2 and started with a coupe instead of waiting until 06.

However, here in Canada that nose is $28,000+ from the dealer. Add the bumper cover and you have a write off. Unfortunately this means that the Gen 2 cars are disappearing faster than they should. Higher value for collecting?

I have owned Gen I, II, and IV. I've never owned a Gen III but I think Gen IV is a close enough sampling. :D

If I had to choose one keeper out of them all, it would be a Gen II car...just because of the exterior styling. That would weigh very heavily in my decision.

However, you really can't go wrong with any Viper. Good luck in your search.

I can relate to that.
