Question Need advice! 2003 G35 ST trade for 1996 Dodge Viper RT10

need your advice fellow g35 drivers.
at the dealership, i found a 1996 Dodge Viper RT10 w/ 40000 miles
its for sale at $29,000- the kelly blue book price is $35,000 ~ish
it comes with a 5 year warranty / 100,000 miles

- But i will be upside down on my trade in. ($4000)
(19k for trade in/ owe 23k)
- my g35 has 62,000 miles and has transmission issues (5thgear)
(and it is out of warranty)
- I can take off my turbo and sell it, and sell my 20' 5zigen rims and sell it too

- DOES ANY ONE THINK ITS WORTH IT/ NOT WORTH IT???

I say buy it but not unless you have something else to drive. I can tell you from personal experience a viper as a daily driver is not a fun car.

getting lots of good advice from all of you..maybe the difference between keeping my G and buying the viper is about $10-15k... that could modify my G to kill vipers instead right?>??

I don't know about killing Vipers, but if it were me, I wouldn't do it. Good luck!

oh yea,.. btw.. the viper DOES NOT HAVE MOVING WINDOWS !
it has a glass "sliding" window with the soft top
and had a plastic non moving window with the hard top

its not only the speed (415hp) or the 1/4 mile (12.4)
its the CAR that is sooo tempting
no one can really tell the difference between a 2000 and a 1996 right?

I initially voted for the Viper, but thats a really old car, plus Gas will be a killer and insurance will eat you alive as well
