I also have always liked the Vipers but if I were you I'd probably go with a SRT.

saleenx is infamous around these parts
I as well have been on the hunt for a viper

my choice is the 06 coupe, black silver stripe, 5 spoke wheels
if i can ever find one

although ive drove gen 1,2,3 and the older ones are really unique, 03 an up seem to be more refined

either way you will enjoy the car , goodluck

I have owned a c5 vette, c5 z06, 03 Cobra, and most recently an M5.

SRT it is then. If it's just a mean weekend cruiser, you're much better off with the SRT. You may not like that it's a vert, but verts are very fun, you'll have the better looking body style, more power, and a little more comfort (this isn't a bad thing when we're comparing two Vipers). The ACR is good if you're on the track but it doesn't sound like it's a good fit for your uses.

Ok I remember seeing that SRT. I think your shop did some great work, but wow did that guy go way overboard. Love the new SSG color.
