How good of a deal do you think this is : 1999 Built Viper for my near stock 2006 C6 Vette ?

I'd walk. Figure your car is worth 20-25K depending on condition and market. Going high 50K is what he wants you to give him for a 9 year hot rod that you don't know how badly it has been beat.

Agreed. 50K is too much for the Viper.

He said its been to the track 3 or 4 times , doesnt have a cage in it, and ran 9.5 seconds on just the motor with slicks. Ran 6.05 in the 8th . It may be 10 years old but its practically brand new with

10 k miles.

Call it whatever you want. It is a 10 year old car that has been modded, end of story. If you want to give him your car and 25 grand by all means do it. The only one that has to be happy is you.

One other thing you might want think about. If you were so sure it was a good deal, you would have already pulled the trigger. A little doubt before the purchase usually turns into a big disappointment after the deal goes down imo.

He ask for an opinion just to tell you he's already made up his mind and how that opinion was wrong. Personally I can spend my money by making my own decisions. No need to tell people what you want to buy and what you may pay for it, or is there?

I never said it was a good deal...I was asking if it was ; I dont pull the trigger right away on something like this -- I research it by asking for opinions first then research it some more. I have a feeling though that this Forum operates on an apriori-philosophical bias so I need to go elsewhere for a more unbiased appraisal . And now...ill give answer to Dads long awaited guff. Cya.

Disagree. A wise man seeks counsel , is careful, and researches....whereas a Fool rushes in and follows after his own folly. Once again, if ive upset you or your kinfolk in anyway in the past, I hereby apologize....

You asked a question, it was answered, you just don't like the answer.

You couldn't recieve a more unbiased answer. I don't give a damn whether you do the deal or not.

ooo Disagree. A wise man seeks counsel , is careful, and ooo researches....whereas a Fool rushes in and follows after his own

Disagree, a wise man knows when to seek counsel. Fools tend to ask questions and don't heed them.

No problem here, my family will survive, just quit wasting our oxygen.

Dave loves to brag about how much he (over)pays for his crap

In Finland that is very low price. :)

Follow your head and not your heart!!!!

My head tells me my Vette plus "$15,000" (now) , and my heart skips a beat at 896 rwhp in a pristine low mileage Viper .
