lol… I dont think I have to even put my opinion in here.

And as far as insurance goes: The Viper is not a “blacklisted” car due to low production numbers overall. SOME companies will not insure them, but they are few and far between. I personally have used Progressive and Geico, and pay about 1400/Yr on my SRT for full coverage w/glass and all the do-dads… My record is completely clean however. On my GTS it was the same, and that was when I was 18. It should be less for Mike, I think he is 26- which is over the hump for insurance rates.

I do strongly recomend driving ALL model Vipers before you make a final decision which one to go with. If you can go to 60K, you have your pick up to a used 2003. They are all different. Gen-1 is a brute… more finicky, little more grunt on the lower end, LOVES to turn them over and slap you upside the head at a moments notice. Gen-2 is a little more refined, with power windows, nicer interior, etc, as well as the GTS being available. Gets a slight revamp again in 99 for both models…“Creampuff” cars begin in 2000, powerband moved slightly up, NGR goes away. ABS comes in 2001, then SRT in 2003.
