Trade the 370Z for a 04 Viper SRT10?

brucelidat · 03-09-2012, 06:59 PM

Yeah, Z is def not a drag car unless you boos tit maybe. Either way, it wasn't designed or intended to be a drag car so that won't be its strength.

Interesting trade option

Any pics of this viper?

joestew1985 · 03-09-2012, 07:08 PM

Not a daily driver, had my Z for since Feb 2010 and just hit 13k miles. Weekend car in mind.

brucelidat · 03-09-2012, 07:12 PM

Well, if it's not the DD, won't become a money pit, and is better for your interests than the Z, go for it. And post pics when you do.

Looks great!!! Interior

I would keep in mind that you'll be getting a car almost a decade old for the price of a 2010 Z. That viper does look very clean.

Yeah, what is the cost of repairs / maintenance on that beast?

$150 hour for labor, front end collision starts at $15k and goes up from there. Vipers are expensive toys.

That is on the Gen 1 & 2 Vipers because of the "clam shell" type hood. Just the hood alone for those models is around 15k.

This will be an interesting trade. Vipers are nothing but power.

joestew1985 · 03-09-2012, 07:21 PM

I talked to a few guys on the viper forums. For the most part maintenance cost is not that expensive at all. They did mention that aftermarket parts are extremely expensive due to a small market of buyers. Oddly enough, I called my insurance company to get a quote on that VIN. The Viper is $60 cheaper a month than what I pay currently on the 370z.

Wow? How much do you pay a month on the Z??

I'd get the Viper btw. Weekend car

After you get it you can show me at the next cars n coffee

joestew1985 · 03-09-2012, 07:23 PM

yup, surprising but very true.

Cyberium · 03-09-2012, 07:24 PM

Viper's always had the WORST interior of any high end sports cars...
