I agree that competition blue is the best of the three but it still is lame! Who the hell choose these three, I can't imagine there weren't better ones like powderkeg blue!:orange: Grabber blue I think was a Ford color.

When I first saw the colour it reminded me of the Old Mopar colours they used to use for Racing on the Petty cars.

It also reminded me of the chassis colour on many of the early GTSR Vipers. Its similar to 'French Blue'

So thinking along the lines of Racing and France and the Viper GTSR program returning to France this year for the 24hrs of Le mans, I thought 'La Sarthe Blue' (the name of the actual circuit) might be quite good?

Sadly the competition was only open to members in the USA. :(

I posted this info on VOA FB page yesterday afternoon. Basically, I thought they were LAME as well. Others agreed.
I thought my "Blue Bayou" was creative (blew by you), as well as at least 10 others I saw.
Apparently SRT not looking for creative :stickmen_burningsti

Agreed! I saw someone throw Plasma blue out there in discussion, I thought it was a pretty good choice.

Not a single exciting name. Bruce's Neurotoxin Blue is politically incorrect and so right. I suggested Bush Viper Blue ( since there is a real Bush Viper ) , but Neurotoxin is even more badasp!!

Boring names, selected by boring marketing people. They should just call it "Rad Blue" because they are so "rad'.

Then you might like this failure in SRT marketing. It is rad.

what would happen if no one voted for any of them? I'm sure the finalists would at least vote for their own, right?
maybe it would be a draw at 1 vote each. Seems that the general consent ....

Bombastic Blue, Ballistic Blue................................no , we are going with Beancounter Blue.

It needs a name with effect, not a staid , normal name . I really like Neurotoxin, even though I did not think it up, but like Toxic Orange ( that was going to be Mango Tango -- and don't get me started on that original combination) , we want names that scream Viper.

Nuclear Blue, Atomic Blue, Annihilator Blue................oh, well, at least they didn't suggest Baby Blue,ha!

At the rate they're going they should have just settled on Pantone 2728C.

Must have lots o time on hands to name the color of a car. If your name is chosen do you receive anything except
a pat on the back.

SRT Blue or Venom blue would have fit the current mold.
