I keep seeing on clist vipers from 94-99 with roughly 20-30k miles for about 25,000.
I definitely like the way they look. 450hp is quite nice, have A/C, radio and leather seats. That's all I need for creature comforts... Not to mention they are pretty light and look pretty damn good with some SRT10 rims and a nice tint. They are also quite scarse.

My only thing is, are they worth the asking 25 grand even with low mileage?

I'd get a ws6 and put a worked out ls7 or stock ls9...that would be my weekend warrior/ garage queen.

C5Z06 that already has solid mods on it would be my choice. Viper's are cool and all, but the all of them sound like **** (big vacuum cleaner, even with aftermarket exhaust). Vipers are cool as hell looking and rare, but spendy and horrible gas mileage. But cool and rare... lol

I went through this same dilemma a few times between a C6Z06 and a gen 2 Viper... I've got the money to buy either or both of them if I wanted. But every time I drive my 402 GTO I could not imagine daily driving a vette or viper. Honestly.

A used ZR1 though, THAT'S tempting.

Wrong section? Best mid life car for you? I would say the viper... Defently a head turner. The ride quality will be so much better then a transam will offer you.

Oh, i apologize for the section, Mods feel free to move the topic, i meant to post it on racers lounge.

Like i said, i had an 02c5z but i dont think it will out do the viper stock for stock...

Plus the viper will be intake, exhaust tune only.

Im 25, in USMC, have a good job, live on my own and can definitely afford one, but a 99 model though... But thanks for advice, im no longer considering an fbody. 20k is too much even for CETA in my opinion
