Personally id go w/ the viper. What do you think?

 

get the viper, we dont need any more S2K's on the road, especially with people like you driving them

 

Depends how much you have in the bank for repair bills. Viper is gonna cost some coin to repair known problems for the early years. There was a great article in R&T 5 or 6 months ago about buying older Vipers.

Me, I only buy Honda

 

You know, my friend bought a viper a few months ago, early 90's, for 40K.

It is so fast, it's unbelievable. BUT..the quality is very bad, pathetic comes to mind. (not the engine - I don't know about it's quality).

The hood moves around very weirdly at speeds over 70 I'd say. The interior sucks, it's soo crappy. His door handle bezzels fell off. Etc, Etc.

He gets looks allll the time, people love to look at Vipers.
If you want attention, and to go crazy fast - get a viper.
If you want quality, reliability, and a good quality platform that
can be made fast (turbo, supercharge, etc)...get S2K.
I'm sure it gets a lot of looks too!

-Just my opinion.

You'd be better of getting a new one, 93 is kinda old and the replacement parts are crazy expensive. Look up how much a new hood costs!

 

I'm sure just getting new tires will be ridiculously expensive.

 

The early Vipers also had cylinder sleeving issues, overheated easily, and were in general VERY high maintenance.

I'd buy the S2000.

Now if you were debating a 2003 Viper...

 

yeah, im not what you call experienced in vipers particularly because it never crossed my mind of owning one, but im going w/ the s2000 on this one

 

Dude, that's a little harsh for no reason, all he did was ask a question.

I agree with the others. Get the s2000 if you want a quick well handling quality sports car. If I could afford it (the upkeep, insurance) I'd get the viper simply because they are hella rare and obnoxious. When I got my s2000 there were some fancy used cars for similar price, but I was already breaking the piggybank (for my salary) buying the s2000, I did not want to have to deal with maintainence. I had a Porsche 944 before and it was so expensive to maintain, and an older Mercedes, which was built much better than the Porsche, but even routine things were much more expensive.
