Hello viper community.
Earlier this year I sold my Triple Black Gen 3 Viper to pitch in on an investment property with my dad. In the mean time I bought a 2005 E55 AMG as a daily. I've built up quite a bit of equity on my AMG and want to trade that in for another Viper. As of right now I am torn between these two vipers that I have found listed on Autotrader. One is a red 97 GEN 2 GTS with silver stripes and the other is a red 04 Vert. Here are the links for both listings:

Does anyone who anything about either of these cars? And or so has an opinion on GEN 2 vs GEN 3 Vipers? I am torn between these two cars and can't decide which is the better option. FYI i can't afford the GEN IV or a GEN 3 coupe because my budget is no more than 40k. I spend every night dreaming about a GEN 4 coup so please don't bring it up lol.
