Have you checked what insurance would be? I wouldn't be surprised if it was double the payment. Kinda hard to justify that with it being a weekend car.
Also, I don't know if this car is probably the best toy. I understand you had a few modded F-Bodies and the Vette but that car is a sledgehammer. No traction control, no stability aides, and grown people spin them out and wreck them ALL THE TIME. Probably not the best choice on all fronts.

Also, because they don't have all the nanny controls like stability control, traction control you must drive them with some respect and maturity. Any tool can go out and wreck any car, but to say "grown people spin them out and wreck them ALL the time", just is not true.
OP, good luck with your search. Lots of them out there for sale, take your time and buy the best one for the money..
I am partial to the GTS, my 99 was 1 of 22 in this color.

Actually, insurance on average is higher on the vettes, F-bodies, mustangs, etc than vipers, based on the demographics of people who buy them. Owners of vipers tend to be older, have better driving records, credit, etc, which plays into insurance quotes on any car. My Viper insurance was cheaper than both of my Vettes.

You know what guys, your absolutely right and I'm wrong. I now see that Insurance would be a non issue factor and possibly cheaper on a Viper then a Honda Civic because of the statistically attached demographic. What was I thinking considering that it would even be an issue? Silly me.

I went to Texas Direct Auto once with a friend to check out a GMC truck. It smelled horribly like smoke inside and they wouldn't clean it unless he signed papers on it. Also, their customer service was some of the worst I've ever seen. The salesman kept disappearing and we would wait 20-30 minutes for him to come back, then he would answer one question and disappear again.

I have Hagerty collector car insurance on my Viper, it is dirt cheap.
