You're looking at a high mileage gen 2 unless you will take a salvage title. You shoud be able to find one thats been taken care of for that money but I'm guessing it will be 50000 plus miles.

You could most likely find a 1994, 1995 or 1996 GEN I RT/10. A/C was added in 94, you could buy a removable hardtop for it as well unless the one you find comes with one. For your price range this is the only Viper you can get with factory side exhaust.
If you're spending $30,000 and would consider getting a GEN I, than you will have several to choose from. I just browsed the cars.com website and found a Red 1994 RT/10 with 9,246 miles selling for $29,990.

He specified factory side exhaust. That cancels out GEN 2 unless someone customized theirs to have it.
You're also completely wrong about the GEN 2. He could easily find a NON-salvaged titled GTS for under 30k.
Cars.com also has a 97 Red GTS selling for $26,999 with 39,800 miles. I've seen owners on here selling their Vipers at good deals as well.
ohioshvac, pretty much most of the GTS Vipers you will find under $30,000 will be red. If you want a red viper you are in luck. Other colors, depending on the color will cost you more. If you're looking for a side exhaust GEN I with A/C, being 94 or 95 and 96.. you can probably find several yellow and red Vipers along with some black, green and white too for that price range with low miles.

SEARCH FEATURE
Almost every question you can think of has already been asked and answered! In some cases, the information may be out of date and a new thread will be needed, but in many cases, an answer to your question may be under 10 seconds away!
The VCA Web Forums has a search feature very similar to web search engines like Google. By typing in a few words, it will search all old posts since the website was created to find words matching what you typed in. Be mindful though, the more words you type the fewer results you will get as it will try to find posts only with all of the words you types. In saying that as well, by using words like “The” and “It” you will get hundreds if not thousands of threads. I might suggest sticking to main words. Also try to avoid year specific searches. It will block out a lot of good info. For example:
“What is the best exhaust system for my 2006”
It might be better as:
“best exhaust”
To do a search, click on Search located in the center of the Directional Information Toolbar. If you are wanting a quick overall search, just type in the words in the search box. For this example, we will go with an Advanced Search as you can further clarify your search parameters.
Once you have clicked on Search, click Advanced Search located under the Quick Search field.
Type in the key words you want to search for. Once you have typed in your key words, click on the drop down arrow on the Search All Open Forums tab located on the lower right side of the Search page if you would like to clarify your search. Choose a specific forums you would like the question searched under. In some cases this is not needed but if you are wanting the best exhaust for your 2008, you will not want the threads from the 1992 cars. This feature helps to cut down on the amount of non-applicable information that will be presented to you. Do remember though, by selecting the one section you are narrowing down the number of places the search will look. If there was a thread in the Racing section, and you only selected the SRT section, you will not see that information. This menu can be useful if used correctly.
Once complete, click Search and see your answers! Feel free to play, there is no limit to the amount of searches you can do!
ANOTHER OPTION IS TO USE THIS SEARCH.

Only downside is an increase in noise. But I changed my GenII to a side exhaust. Never looked back.

Of course. I use it all the time, but prefer to ask questions when I don't find what I want. 
By the way, that was a very quick response lol.

I worshiped Sr.
I found the ad for the 97 with rebuilt title and am not interested in a title problem car (not for 27k),I also looked at the ad for the 94 in fresno but i dont think it has a/c or a hardtop. I have a 1987 grand national and a 1976 trans am i am getting rid of first .The search function works great unless you are looking for three specific things on a car ,,,,,,,so thats why i asked
I am trying to help the guy located a Viper for himself. This thread has nothing to do with GAS PRICES.

Get a gen 1.
Lowest maintenance viper (after head gaskets) because nothing else breaks. It runs like the energizer bunny and won't let you down. Well, none of mine ever did....
