    FS or Trade: 2000 Red RT/10 (Do you guys think this is a good idea?)

    same with Texas and California (two states I've lived in). You pay sales tax when you register the vehicle, texas is 6.25 or 6.5 I can't remember. California is like 8 or 8.25 if I remember correctly.

    FS or Trade: 2000 Red RT/10 (Do you guys think this is a good idea?)

    I don't understand why the tax won't be an issue for you if you buy out of state. In Texas, you pay tax when you title/register the car in state. For instance, I bought my viper from a california dealership. They gave me the option of paying sales tax there or paying it here when I titled...

    FS or Trade: 2000 Red RT/10 (Do you guys think this is a good idea?)

    btw, I don't think your car would qualify as a garage queen (besides the relative high mileage) because of your pic of it being on a autoX track!!! :) Garage queens aren't raced at all, that's why their "garage queens".

    FS or Trade: 2000 Red RT/10 (Do you guys think this is a good idea?)

    Actually it can't be too much of a garage queen if it's already got 13K miles on it. My 96 has about the same mileage. I don't think you're going to have ANY money left over after you add taxes too. If you get the high of $48K that your car is probably worth, then buy another GTS for $43 or...

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    I don't think anyone is upset, are they? I think some of the comments are funny! That's the only thing good about this post is that it has been quite hilarious at times. Lot's of good vette guys out there, peace to you!

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    Actually, if any of us wants to see a vette we just go to our garages or outside to the street corner and wait about 15 seconds, one will surely pass by! :) LOL!

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    You are forced to add drivers to the equation, I understand, otherwise you wouldn't be able to handle the outcome. Noted. It's too bad some people only see red, or blue, or... chevy. Sure are missing out. It's like someone being raised on grits all their life and too stubborn to try steak...

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    JRod, you're Chevy mentality is laughable. That's the issue here, you only see Chevy, no matter if it's better or worse, it's a Chevy and that's what you like. I like the Viper because it is the best. Again, you don't WANT to compare just the car because you will lose. I guess it wouldn't...

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    For some people a vette is enough. That's fair enough. For others, we wanted more so we stepped up to the viper. Why is that so hard to understand? Year for year, mod for mod, the viper is a faster, better handling car. Does it matter how much faster, or how much better handling? Not for...

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    You are correct on this one Cobra4B. The drag is much better on a c5 design than the viper. That's the price to pay for some styling I guess. However, unless the car is running a hi-speed NASCAR superspeedway, it won't ever really have an effect. One of my vette friends calls my viper a...

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    As I've said before, it's like trying to convince Baghdad Bob we were in Baghdad or the OJ jury that he really was guilty. No amount of hard facts or proof will change the mind of someone who doesn't WANT to face reality. What you vette affectionados don't seem to realize and someone...

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    Hey! that's true! Yesterday I went and looked at a '98 Nassau blue vette and it was owned by an older woman! She did have good taste though, the car was beautiful. May buy it. I agree there are some Chevy guy's that have that mentality. It's brand loyality and it clouds their minds. My...

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    OK, I see where you are coming from. Fantasy world. So, because I've seen z06's run 12.9's at the track and I've seen cobras run 12.5's, that makes the cobra faster than the Z's. Period. End of story. My mind is closed. No amount of testing by reputable comparisons, no amount of...

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    my mom would rather have her toyota than a viper, my wife would rather have her intrepid than a viper. You would rather have a vette than a viper. I respect and understand their decision and I respect yours! If the Viper isn't all that impressive to you, then the vette must be quite the docile...

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    Fortunately you are correct, Viper's aren't for everyone. That's why they have menus at restaurants. Not everyone has what it takes to handle a car like the viper. Some people prefer ricers, mustangs and vettes. A few people (very rare) have stepped up to the viper only to have to go back to...

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    I agree completely Lee. Seems to be a lot of phantom times floating around the net. It's pretty easy to get them started. Here's mine. I got a completely stock 96 viper rt with 491 hp and I run 8.43. I've done mid-8's plenty of times. I know everyone else is 4 seconds slower than me, but...

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    I just wonder if they (vette owners) go to the mustang and ricer sites and do the same thing. Do they really feel that bad about their decision to buy one that they feel a strong need to "prove" they can almost keep up? I personally think it's an identity crisis. For decades, it used to be...

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    Exactly. John's message was very telling. John was comparing a Lingenfelter stroker moter and aftermarket brakes in his vette to a STOCK viper. The point is the Viper in stock form is far superior to a Vette in every way except brakes. The vette will always be just a vette. Again, you FEEL...

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    JRod, I can understand you choosing a vette. They do make a much better daily driver since they are a compromise car and most people can only afford one vehicle. Vettes and Mustangs are neat cars and I've owned both. The best scenario though is to buy the ultimate sports car (Viper) and drive...

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    Whew... getting deep in here! 1) I would really like to see John Myrick post that he thinks Viper GTS's are ill-handling pigs. 2) here we go again with a vette guy saying "I ran a xx.xx in a STOCk z06". PLENTY of tests/reviews/comparisons with same driver and VERIFIED 100% STOCK vehicles...

    C6 looks like SRT 10 latest spy pics!

    My opinion comes from the real world, not this section of the forum where obviously there are biased opinions. I'm talking about where there are no biased opinions, just personal expression. My opinion comes from speaking to several real viper owners who had multiple SRT vouchers. Each of...
