I say do it.

2008+. I have noticed cars with next to no miles on them, ie 2009 156 miles, and a full tilt new price.

How often on the plugs? What I want is a Viper/Corvette with GTR maintenance and reliability.

A rear wheel drive, front engined, manual. This is why I did not but a GTR in the first place. I'd likely take an all wheel drive MT GTR, but no way an auto.

I like the idea of not being a Corvette/Porsche person who has already been sized up as an A-hole by simply owning one.

My C6 was pretty trouble free. I just didn't enjoy tracking it as much as the Z. It didn't really have any soul to it.

depends how you drive it. If you are always racing it, more often. Not sure the exact mileage, but i changed mine out 2 times in the year i had it (once when i first got the truck and second time i switched to 1 step colder for the nitrous). Also coils and wires help alot at the top end. It's more of a bitch to change the plugs on the srt-10 ram since the brake cylinder is in the way for the 2 on the right bank. If you get a viper, talk to Tony at JTSVP...awesome guy and has a **** load of parts for the vipers.
