it was a real hard choice between this one and a 2000 gts. Just got a good deal on this one and it was close. I love the hood on the older ones, how the whole thing lifts up. and if you can find a 99 the motors have forged internals and can handle over 800 hp so they can be charged with no worries. it's fun to compare looks at the viper and the vx. people stare at the viper and you can see they know what it is and like it and others look at the VX and you can see the gears turning in their heads and they like it too.
