One Day I'll Have One
Enthusiast
Hello my freinds,
I'm sure some of you have seen my post in the SRT section about my north jersey viper sighting. Well while I continue to be a pathetic ass on that subject, it's time for some good serious discussion about things that actually matter. The Dodge Viper!
Now as time is going on I really really need this car. Hell it's essentially my only main goal right now. Now essentially my aim is either a 2000 RT/GTS Black, 2002 RT/GTS Graphite, or an SRT black or blue. However, being that the prices for these little beauties are so high, it will probably take a while to scrap up the dough for one of them. So lately I've been thinking of a "stepping stone."
I've been thinking of maybe a Gen 1 at least to start with being that you can probably find one for about the same price I paid for my 2005 V6 Mustang!($25,000). The only thing is I'm not sure about it and this where you guys may be able to fill me in. My only beef with the car itself really is the interior having little to no style at all. The 400 hp doesn't bother me, I'm not a power freak that needs a new 2008 600 hp
. I'm sure it's fast enough. Hell even the fact that there are no windows doesn't bother me. It will never see rain! However, what I'm looking for in my future Viper my indeed turn me off to a Gen 1. Unlike i'm sure a good portion of you who own these cars I have no intention of racing it. ( Well I may have that urge after going to my first VCA meet
) I intend to buy the car as my trophie car and use it as a cruising car. ( THE ULTIMATE cruiser.) Now I've heard Gen 1s are like trucks, that they are go carts on wheels, etc etc. What advice/insight would you owners have into the Gen 1? Should I forget about it and just stay fast on to the cars mentioned above?
Anything would be helpful as I've actually never seen/sat in a Gen 1 or an RT/10 of any year.
Thanks for reading,
Mike
