    Any comp blue gen V's in Central FL?

    Hey all. I sold my gen III and I'm looking to get into a gen V. I'm considering a competition blue but I've never seen one in person. Does anybody local have one that I could look at? I don't want to fly somewhere far away with the intention to buy one and then I realize I don't like that color. The comp blue looks so different in every picture I've seen so I'm very curious to see it in person. Thanks!!

    This viper alley thread has some good pics: http://www.viperalley.com/forum/vipe...ed-ta-2-a.html
    It may seem nuts, but i am able to get a real good feel with his avatar - due to the contrasts with the under-the-hood colors - which are easy to imagine in my mind's eye. I had a bright blue 08, and of course, this comp blue is radically different. But his posted pics are pretty accurate to my eye. Of course, these are the gloss version, the flat paint has a somewhat lighter effect- almost like the 'e' for your IExplorer icon!!
    And then, you can create your own viper here: http://www.drivesrt.com/viper/# (Chrome works fastest for painting for me)
    Wish i knew of an 'in person' one close to you, but no.

    Thanks curtner. Haha Ryan I'm surprised nobody has picked yours up by now! That's the best color, you should keep it. I'd buy it but it's about 11k out of my max budget. I can only afford a base model. I found a nice red 2015 with the black fang stripes in the $70s I'm thinking about. It's hard to find the comp blue in my budget range but the adrenaline red really seems to pop in pictures (never seen that color either).

    For what?

    I went to look at your car when it was on the showroom floor...no one even batted an eye or cared to see if I was interested. Bought my TA a few weeks later.

    That's crazy sometimes people judge the way we look lol I'm a 26 year old steel fabricator they looked at me funny when I dropped it off as I was in my work clothes asking me "whos car it was". Its been a great car just threw and rod bearing on me so they are putting a brand new engine in it. I wish I had the wheels you have I might see if they will compensate with a set haha.
    Not sure why they didn't approach you so far they have been pretty helpful sorry to hear that

    I have a Gen V in GTS-R blue in O-town. If you want to meet up some time and take a look, just PM me.

    I don't think pics really do it justice. Cloudy days it looks shadow pearlish, when its sunny it almost looks like my Kona Blue Flex.

    What color code is ViperPete's GTS?

    4 years ago I bought my 97 from Dayton Andrews as well (i was 32 at the time) They were dicks as first, but once they realized I was serious they came around. The whole process took way too long, but i got my car.

    I live in Ocala.

    You can come and see the car anytime you want.

    GTS Blue with no stripes. I've never seen a more beautiful blue in my entire life.

    Looks like one for sale just popped up in South Florida with 5k miles on it. I've emailed the dealer for pictures.
