ok… so… when im bored i ussualy cruise thru ebaymotors just looking at all differnt cars and such. I decided to look at vipers. Now, i found a few vipers (gen 2) for around the 40K mark. Now, im only 18 and already bought a car so any purchasing would take place about 2 years from now. But i can guarentee 2 years from now, i know i will be in the financal situatuon were i can afford a $40K car. I mean, this sounds like a friggen bargan, all these vipers that are selling have less than 30K miles. I would obviously want the blue with white stripes GTS model. i mean, how sick would that be to cruise a viper…450 HP… and they just are complete panty droppers. So, basically this post is just a random thought that came to my head, and i was wondering if anyone else on here owns a viper… whats the pros and cons of these cars? ---

**Pros:** Tons of torque Unique look & sound Whore magnet Old school package, new school styling (Large displacement, smallish car) **Cons:** Not the most confortable DD Not practical for everyday milage 8.0L v-10, you might as well drive around with a gas pump attached to that thing. No back seat for the whores. ---

two of my close friends own vipers, one modded and one stock one both 2000s I think they are pretty comfy, for daily driving, I doubt anyone buys a viper for a dd anyway ---

Hot cars and not a bad deal, but there might be some cars out in the next 2 years that you fall in love with more. Pros: Top end Power Excellent braking system Solid handling car Looks unique Cons: Gas milage Insurance rates usable power band oarts are expensive If you get one :tup: just make sure you dont let it go to your head. It’s just a car 🙂 ---

If you think you could afford it, buy it. 40K is pretty steep payments would be upwards of 1200 a month i bet, plus insurance. remember, they won’t give you a loan for 5 years on a car that is old… not to mention the rate you are going to get… ugh… i’m probably making a lot more money than you, and I in no way can afford a viper. ---

plus something nobody’s really mentioned yet…in two years, how unique will it really be? with the fast growing number of more “affordable supercars” out there, along with all the people on forums like this one that are taking more and more cars and making them faster and faster…a 450hp viper won’t be as cool in a few years as it was a few years ago…not even close… ---

Ah finally some reality. t-up Howie By the way, for about 40k w/450hp you could always get the '07 Cobra (GT500) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/thinking-about-a-gen2-used-viper/4886.md?page=2)
