Competition Blue Gen V

[jkviper]

Being a blue fan, I had a 2001 Saphire Blue GTS, and a GTS Blue 2006 coupe, just wondering if SRT actually produced any Competition Blue Vipers for sale. I was interested to see what that color looked like on the car. I know there was some pictures from I think the SEMA show.

I think it would have made a nice TA version.

I like the Competition Blue as well, looking forward to pics. Haven't seen any yet.

[XSnake]

Only one ive seen is the one at the Tudor races. Id contact Tomball

I asked Steve Sharples about that the other night. A few were made but not sure how many and have yet to see one or hear of one.

I saw it when introduced at SEMA It is a just little darker than Petty Blue.

Here are a few pictures I took of the competition blue at Daytona. It was parked behind the SRT display and later moved to the paddock.

thanks for the pics. it looks like grabber blue on the mustangs.

I wish the GTS blue never went away. I wish they'd bring it back and call it something else so it can go on an SRT model too. Maybe do a variant called Stryker Blue? Add black stripes and my wife might shoot me for what I'd do...

That's what the color reminds me of as well. I think it looks pretty good.

I personally don't like the color myself. Looks a tad feminine to me.

Competition blue= baby blue=creamy blue = giving me the blues

I may not have been reading this right but the GTS BLUE does have a home on the SRT models. This is on the ViperExchange.com site.4074

I am confused. That is a picture of a 2013 GTS. I think the point the person was making is the color was never offered on the base SRT model.

[Torquemonster06]

OH...ok. I thought they meant it didn't come out on the SRT model line at all. Sorry.

[Austin]

Id like to see something similar to a color I came up with after the GEN V was released. I call it "Blue Steel".

Sorry, should have been more clear. I was referring to the base model.

[SWEEN]

I think it looks great!

[Viktimize]

I thought I was the young guy here. Looks like the Leguna Seca blue from the old E46 M3. Loved that colour.

[The_Greg]

This would be a great T/A color for sure.

Stryker blue... The idea has me drooling. A deep yet bright midnight blue.

[Nine Ball]

Just another stupid decision on SRT's part. Take the most popular Viper color that people associate with Vipers, and limit which cars can be painted that color. If I were SRT, I'd unlock any of the colors and stripe combos on any car built. Sell people what they want, novel concept!

a paint to sample program would rock

prefix can do it, make it happen.

[Bill Pemberton]

Can definitely verify that this color was done in an SRT as we have two Comp Blue Snakes coming ( one completely built ) , and both are SRTs. The choice was up to the Dealer, and since it was a limited color, most Dealers went with a GTS. There will be very, very few done this year !!!!

[Austin]

I like this color quite a bit in these sunlight pics. I could imagine a T/A in this color for sure. Add some T/A Orange SRT stripes that are outlined in a thin black pinstripe. Orange calipers, orange emblems and lowered on the black T/A wheels.

That doesn't ring any bells.

I think we are getting confused by two different color discussions:

Title of thread is about Competition Blue and Bill's response is accurate for that color.

Prior, it was about GTS Blue which is specific to 2013 in Launch Edition and I think some solid colored cars which were only GTS's. Personally, ok with that and would have preferred to only be the LE car as for what it stands for, but just me.

That color will look fantastic with an SRT hood! How are yours optioned? Any of them have the new Grand Touring package with the two stage suspension?

I have to agree. The two model approach always baffled me. The '96 was a GTS and it was barebones. Nothing wrong with just calling this car a GTS and let people build it how they want.

[docwviper]

how many comp blue coupes are being made exactly?

[Austin]

That Porsche looks good!

Making any color with any stripe option etc, according to the customers needs would make sense.

The only thing I would disagree with is, to at least respect a few of the Color combos and leave them exclusive to some of the limited models. TA Orange, BTS blue should only be available for the LE GTS period and the SSG should only be offered in limited quantities.

[XSTAR]

I'd like to see an SRT with the CF goodies on this Blue in person. I've liked similar blues on other cars...not sure just yet how I feel about it on the Viper.

[Bill Pemberton]

Only have one left and by the way the GT package was not offered in this color. The one incoming has black leather, Hyper Black Sidewinder rims and that is it. Wanted to order one on the lower end of the spectrum as heard many were going in as GTSs.

[Dman]

I'm not a huge fan of blue, but I do like the shadow dark blue they have and I like the GTS blue. Now, the comp blue, eh, looks like th blue Ford used on mustangs recently, which to me is, um, barf, excuse me. But that's why they make so, so, so, so, so many colors now.

[bluesrt]

somone should photoshop a comp blue with cf areo,blackvapor sidewinders,lowered with white or black stripes.......:p
