    Competition Blue Gen V

    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 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.

    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.

    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.large_07.jpg

    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.

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

    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.

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

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

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

    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!

    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 !!!!
