SRT-10 or keep the EVO IX

How much do you think i can get for my car. Its a a 2006 gg evo ix with the ssl package. It only has about 3200 miles on it and it is practically flawless. There is this realy nice Flaming Red Dodge Ram srt-10 at this dealer with 4000 miles on it and they only want 28000 for it. Should i keep my evo or should i get the srt-10.

Well that depends! Do you need a pick-up? if not, why would you want to trade it?

I was in similar situation: buying a new evo or get an used ram srt-10. I already have a viper gts/acr and love it very much. I've never driven a ram srt-10. A friend of mine test drove one and he said it's a monster on straight line; didn't feel heavy at all.

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.

omg dude, you are a MORON if you make this trade. That thing is NOT a sports car, its an overpowered truck that burns out at 60 mph. The comparison is a joke, the Evo owns it in all categories including AWSOMENESS.

i agree you SHOULD be banned for asking this. Stupid question man, stupid *** question.

Heh It would be pimp to have the srt-10 to go along with the evo. I know I need a 500 hp truck to haul sticks and stuff teheeh.
