How do you guys get past the depreciation hit and additional taxes you're gonna pay if you sell your gen1's and then turn around and buy a gen2?

I've considered selling my '96 a couple of times, but for the loss and taxes I'd end up paying with a newer car I figure I could just drop that money straight into my '96 RT.

Really the only thing I wish it had was ABS. I think a tuner should fab up a kit with the SRT brakes and ABS for us older cars.

With the upgrades I've done to mine, the depreciation hit would be pretty big. I don't want ABS (I've never had much problem with lockup on mine), but better brakes are on the way. More horsepower is on my wish list..... not because I *need* it... just because I want it!
Roadkill - I totally understand in your part of the planet how a coupe makes a lot of sense.

In my case the ONLY thing I want is the roll up windows. I do not want airbags or ABS.

I bought my Viper to drive... and I do... EVERY day. In fact I got rid of my daily driver Jaguar and I am left with only the Viper.

I love the car... and if I could figure a sure-fire way to put the Gen II doors (with windows) on my Gen I.... it would be in my garage for the long haul.

As of now..... I track my Gen I.. and I have not pushed the outer limits of the braking save for a few times..... I install the Brakeman 3 pads for track events..... and I am going to go with better rotors for next seasons track events.

So my ONLY beef is with the window situation. Ultimately, I would prefer to keep the Gen I..... and buy a Gen III coupe (if it ever actually is produced).

Due to my thread being hijacked.. any of you considering this car, should first consult with me about my Gen I Delux Viper that may be up for sale at an undetermined near future time. Gen II updates and warranty to boot :fist:

I really don't want to. I would love to have 2 Vipers. But I pay cash for everything(and I bought a house this year.) I just bought a Caddy and the wife is getting a New car soon. Its just not in the budget right now to buy a GTS and keep my RT. I don't want to spread myself to thin. I love my GEN1 but I Don't know if I can resist much longer the temptation of a heavilly moded Gen 2.

And as far as year goes, a 97 of coarse [img]/images/graemlins/supergrin.gif[/img]
