I'm looking at the late 90's as well. That's my favorite look. Definitely want stripes. I think in 2000 they offered a camel colored leather, kind of like the Mojave leather in the SS. Might be able to appease the wife a bit that way
Honestly, I'll probably research the car for several months. I joined the Viper Club of America and eventually I'm going to ask an owner if he'd like to meet me for coffee and we can check out each other's cars. I need to make sure my camera gear will fit in the trunk too.
