The ST is a decent little car, but fairly maxed from the factory. A tune yields a good gain under the curve, but very little up top. The RS hasnt exactly lit up the road tests. For the price of that car, there are better options out there IMO.Quote:

When I said better, for me that doesnt necessarily necessitate AWD, but that's just me. You can find Chevy SS' with the current 20% off for about the same price (sub 40k). To me that would be a better car, and it's probably faster without the AWD in any respect. You're also in that price range with a scatpack charger or challenger.Quote:

Might i ask what you didn't like about the viper? besides not having windows lolQuote:

might go check this out for the heck of it tommorow..........
Let us know what you think. Didn't think they were getting that low in price. I wonder how they hold up reliability wise when they get older?
I've got a scat pack challenger right now as a rental. Even a 6 speed manual. This car is pretty awesome. Traction?? Lol. 485 hp and sounds badass though. I keep giggling like a little kid driving this thing. :D
They rent manuals? That pretty cool. What company had it to rent?
That is a VERRRYYY nice ride.Quote:

Cars like that usually have an upkeep cost that is commensurate with their initial purchase price, not their used value.
Edit: Checked out of curiosity and found This One with only 20k miles for only a little more $$$.
A $200k+ car that loses that much value begs the question why.
But man, that thing is gorgeous and looks every bit the part of a $200k automobile.
So, did you drive the one that was near you?
Not that I've ever seen anywhere else. One reason I was pretty surprised. They also have some focus STs that have manuals and get rented as standard compacts. It's budget in Kansas City.Quote:
