My personal opinion is to focus on your budget and not your miles. What do you want at the end of the day? If you eventually want to mod the crap out of the car, I think you're better off to wait. There will always be vipers for sale, so wait until you have the funds to buy it like you want. Assuming you're going to be making payments anyway, just wait until you're in a better position to buy exactly what you want. You'll never able to buy a used car, with no mods and build it like you want for cheaper than buying an already done car. On top of that, you eliminate the down time, plus you're financing your mods, instead of paying up front.

My personal opinion, coming from someone who spent WAY to much money in a truck, just wait and buy exactly what you want already done. It will be a lot cheaper in the long run.

I dont plan on racing the viper. atleast not for a while. my wife would kill me if I went mod crazy on another car. but only time will tell.... obviously there is a reason why im going with a 97-99 with forged pistons.
People have been known to break half shafts with everything stock!
