Trade the 370Z for a 04 Viper SRT10?

joestew1985 · 03-09-2012, 07:01 PM

Feeling a little anxious. I have a 2010 370z that I bought brand new and theres a 04 SRT 10 Viper that I am thinking about trading in for. Good move or bad move? When I race, I drag race. Best 1/4 time in the Z was a 13.8. What would you do if you had a choice, 370 or Viper?

Sorry dude, but Viper all the way. Pending that it is in good shape.

TerribleONE · 03-09-2012, 07:08 PM

What condition and how many miles? I'd probably have to take the viper too or boost the Z!

joestew1985 · 03-09-2012, 07:14 PM

Great condition 37k miles

I love vipers.

It's not going to be as daily-driver livable as the Z. It lacks some nice features such as traction control, and the interior is spartan. But as a track toy, it's going to probably be much more fun. You only live once!

Just tough because the Z is the newest model Z out right now and the 2013 Viper is coming out. You know what I mean?

Totally.

Viper was always a dream car for me when I was little. Didn't dawn on me that I could of bought an older one for the price of the Z lol...

Get the Viper!

joestew1985 · 03-09-2012, 07:36 PM

damn, thought the 370z forum would be pro 370s lol...not one co-sign yet

If you can afford the gas and insurance - get the Viper. My Z is my daily driver, and gas alone would make the Viper impractical for me. I'm actually regretting getting my 4.08 gears for that reason already.

Well, the Viper is in a different class, performance-wise and most members here are moreenthusiast than fanboy so...

hmmmm...

You answered your own question by saying you are a drag racer; which the 370Z was never really meant for.

brucelidat · 03-09-2012, 07:57 PM

I would definitely do some research into maintenance and mechanical issues the car might have down the line since it's already an 8 year old car. Also, if this is your only car, someone mentioned driveability as a DD if you nee dot drive a lot. Other than that, for drag racing which you say you do, it's a no contest. Is it a fairly even swap or are you paying anything?
