Alright guys here is the scoop. I had the car parked at my friends garage and he decided to take it out for a little spin. Now i know what you guys are probably thinking but hey i have known him for a long time and plus he can afford 10 of them. But anyway the way i was told the story was that he was going on a slight bend on a nice sunny day and as soon as he hit second gear the car's ass end just gave out and he lost control.
Damage control:
bumper
bumper reinforcement
Rim
Side pane
The kicker is the the under panel which is really expensive.

My question to you guys is that he is willing to buy the car from me no questions asked. So i went and looked at the copperheads, nice car but just didn't have it that i was looking for. So what i am getting, the car can be repaired. the body i am not to concerend with as far i know the body shop guy can make it look like new again. It is the under panel that is my main concern will the car be the same after it is fixed up or should i just go with the COPPERHEAD?
Need assist. I just was in love with the interior of my car with the red. The copper head only has the stiching in the seats. but anyway please voice opinions.

Thanks,
PR

I say you get the copperhead!

IMHO no car can be hit, painted and have it be the same as new. Ive seen some of the best body work in the area and i still am of the same opinion. I say if he can afford it and there wont be a grudge take the COPPERHEAD.

You could always just get another Silver Mamba.

 

[Nader]

I agree another Mamba... The car is just not the same.

WoW...take the money and get another Silver SRT.

So i see more votes for the MAMABA but only 2 fans for the COPPERHEAD. What's up with that. Is there something about the copperhead i don't know.

I'm pleased with mine. But it's your decision. You said, "nice car but just didn't have it that i was looking for."

for some reason the wheels on the copperhead just look too small

I completely agree

 

[fixbone]

I just got the copperhead and everyone loves the color.

 

[NK BREKR]

The Copperhead is bad ass! Go with it!

 

[Nader]

Yeah now that you say it, the wheels do look small. I think it is the outer and inner lip.

 

[Mamba55]

Just so everyone knows that they are using the same exact wheels for the 2006 coupes.

 

[Viper4Christ]

Get either or, but over draft him just Slightly... enough to get a DIY TT from Paolo or Heffner Altohugh if he found out... bye bye friendship

 

[SnakeBitten]

For some reason I feel like I did something wrong

Im with everyone else that says get a new one. Since you are looking for another SRT10 Id personally go for a Mamba over the Copperhead. Especially a white one. Im sure you've seen some of the recent picks of the chick...er...um...White Mamba thats in the other thread.

BTW thats a great friend you have. No argueing just manned up and offered to pay for it...Even if money was no object for him its still a stand up move on his part.

 

[Mamba55]

Yes he is a standup guy. I looked more carefully at the copperhead and i am going to go with that one. They have one already so i told them i will pick it up next week just cause the weather is bad right now and no sense in getting it when i can't drive it right away.
Thanks all for the input i really appreciate it.

I completely agree

They look fine to me.

Final update on this post.
After carefully going over the car with the autobody guy it is only cosmetic damage so am deciding to keep the car for i do like the mamba just wasn't feeling it with the copperhead.
