I currently own a vette, but I'm ready to switch to the Viper. However everytime I go to a vette show everybody has a story about some friend of theirs that has one and its always in the shop. I figure I get the story from the people who own them.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could answer this questions for me:

1- Which model is better (more reliable), the R/T 10 or the GTS?
2- Which years are known to have more or less problems, and what are they?
3- Is it difficult to find a dealer that knows how to work on them?
4- And last but not least, What should I expect to pay for a 1996-99 with less than 5k miles?

Thanks for your help.
