yeah. you don't get crap out compared to what you put in. The expedition had about 55+ 1999 dollars in it, and I purchased it with about 17,000 miles on it for $27,000.

Stage II engine package including cast pistons vs the stock forged pistons (this alone was $22,000)
WAAA?!

wow there is a car I would never buy, 22k for pistons? Right...

and call me crazy but I really dont like the street serpent kit. Stock viper is as wide as it should be, not my taste. Good luck with the sale though.

Should read forged vs cast. check the dyno sheet to see what you're missing

So I'm obviously biased since I'm just finishing up my Street Serpent, and here's my 2 cents. Jeff Lemke has been very politically correct in not showing his Street Serpent directly compared with a stock SRT. While the SRT is a very fine Viper, once you see the aggressive body lines of the Serpent, you would be hard pressed to like the SRT over the Serpent. Had Dodge designed the SRT like Jeff's kit, there probably would not have been the comparisons to the Honda 2000 like there was.

In a word, ATTITUDE is the biggest difference between the stock SRT and the Street Serpent. The Street Serpent recaptures some of the attitude of the orginal Viper while taking advantage of the awesome platform that the Gen 3 provides. For me it was an easy decision since I was rebuilding a wrecked SRT.

If you are truely considering buying a used Blue/Whilte Viper - you owe it to yourself to look at that one in person. I can guarantee that the pride and craftsmanship that Jeff put into it are unmatched - and if you really want a Paxton or TT, you already have a hood that will provide additional cooling.
