I put down 460hp with my evo......he was like WTF??!!!! I was like it aint worth 50K!!!!! I thought it should have been like 500hp or so....guess not!! RRR

Not sure how the drive of a GTS/ACR and RAM srt-10 related, but after driving the GTS for half a day I simply got a bit tired (I'm not that old -- 31). It always feels good to switch back to the evo -- just a lot more control and so much easier to drive.
If you really want the viper truck then go for it. You can't go wrong with 500+ hp under the hood. I see a lot of upgrade package out-there for this truck. They seem a bit pricey though. One thing of concern is the depreciation on this truck considering the MSRP at around $50K. Resale value of the evo on the other hand is very amazing.

I drove two SRT-10's, the engine noise is great, straight line speed amazing but turning braking and gas mileage horrible. I never got more than 12 miles to the gallon! I wouldn'd do the trade. And by the way I payed 35K for two used 2004 trucks with 8K miles on them!

Do what you want but that price is very suspect dude! That truck should still be priced in the high 40's unless something is terribly wrong with it! Check it out closely before diving in!
