I honestly think the king is the MINI...pretty much any.

You also forgot to mention the Ram SRT-10...a Ram with a VIPER V10 and could be had with a :manuel: So ridiculous. So Cool.

Or how about the Chevy SSR? Those things haven't moved in value, and they're quite unique. Like a Prowler, only fast.
I am :notsure: about the V10 viper trucks. I think they initially depreciated heavily and I feel like they are somewhat pricy now.

SSR is a nice addition.

I think I would rather TRX at 90 grand than Viper Truck.

That's the wrong SSR. The 05 and 06 are the ones people care about. Those got the LS2, and were available with a manual.

I love the color on this one

Also that Ram has 700 miles. No wonder it's $90k. Ones with normal mileage go for $30k

Fun fact about the RAM. While any other dodge had a 7/70 warranty vs the 3/36 for the V10

I’ve always liked these.

And the Stealth... they have the “redheaded stepchild” vibe to them.
I've looked on and off for a Stealth GT TT for a while. They're all beat AF or :waxer: it's sad.

I think I would rather TRX at 90 grand than Viper Truck.
:dat:

BUT, the truck Max posted has 700 miles on it, so basically a brand new 16 year old truck. Pretty rare, so I imagine that's the high water mark for these things.

The sad part about the SRT-6s is that they are automatic only. I test drove a base Crossfire with a 6 speed when they were new. It was a fun car, but I remember the automatic spoiler being one noisy bitch.

That’s a pretty killer price actually usually they are a bit more. These things are a bit smaller inside than the “tiny” 370z but they are classics imo.
