You are looking at ~50k+ miles for a 09 GTR in the $55k range. Look at autotrader and the gtr forum and you will see they are firmly priced into the mid/high 60's.
The reason the GTR has such excellent resale is because the car has INCREASED in price every year. Thats opposite of whats happened here.
If you bought an 09 GTR for $69k, you could probably sell it for that today, if not MORE depending on miles/mods. Crazy.
oops
I dont care about vette looks, prices, resale, or anything else your tinfoiled covered head is eventing. If I wanted a Corvette I'd go outside and drive 1 mile in any direction and find one to buy. I do care about the Viper and the performance of cars it is directly competing with.
Or...

Im sure Bob will be here shortly to tell you that you have no idea what you are talking about pertaining to your subjective opinion on the looks of the car.
100% agree. They stuck way too close to the gen2 car in styling. And I think the gen5 is the best looking Viper, but they should have evolved the car styling wise, not go backwards nearly 2 decades.
It was the same day same driver (Randy Pobst) in the Motor Trend test. No doubt the Viper could have went faster(as proof already exist with a faster lap with Pobst driving). But im sure the SLS could pick up some time too with more track time. Either way, it was just to show that a car with...
Remember the viper vs amg sls comparison? SLS down ~20hp, ~130tq, weighs ~400lbs more. Beat the viper in the 1/4 mile and nearly a 1.5 second gap at Laguna Seca. Im VERY interested to see some real world test.
I cant wait to see these Gen 5's in the $50k's in a few months. That means gen4's will be in the 30's, and gen 3's will be buy 1 get 1 free with a 2 year cell phone contract.
Id like to see what the SRT/GTS would run on the P-Zero Corsas that the TA has. That way you could really see what those other improvements actually add to the performance of the car.
Ive always said this exact thing. GTS was a beautiful car, gen 3/4 coupes are beautiful too, and the gen 5 is the best looking viper made. BUT, there was no need to go "retro" this early in a cars life. Styling 100% needed to evolve from the gen 4.
