Wait for \'03 or buy \"01 or \'02?
Hi guys.
I'd like some opinions. I am on a waiting list for an '03 RT-10. I don't know if I could even get an '03, and I don't know about buying a first year vehicle (1st year production bugs?) I had a bad experience with oil consumption with my '01 ZO6.
I am not what you'd call a strong convertible type, but I really enjoyed the Targa top on my '98 Vette Coupe. Enough open air for me when I wanted it, but an enclosed cockpit when I wanted it also.
I am in a position to buy a new '01 or '02 Viper now if I want to. I thought maybe a good course of action might be to buy an '01 or '02 and then get a Gen III in 4-5 years. I am trying to decide:
1. Should I wait for the GEN III, assuming I could get one?
2. Is the current RT/10 with the factory hardtop water tight in rain?
3. Is there a significant performance difference between the GTS and the RT/10?
4. Can I save some decent money buying an '01 vs. an '02?
I kind of prefer the GTS looks-wise by a small margin, but it sure is nice to pop the top sometimes. I could happily live with either type, though.
Thanks in advance for you help. Looking forward to moving to the Viper Nation.
Regards,
Dave
