It's actually kind of disappointing that they are using some of the standard brand colors (True Blue and Billet) on the Viper. Seems like all of its colors should be special or exclusive in some way.

They have used a mix of exclusive and standard colors on the Viper for years. Graphite Metallic was a truck color ten years ago that looked amazing on the Viper, for instance.

And that way, it doesn't force you to buy a $15k paint job if you just want a fast car. And if you get chips in your paint, it's more easily reparable.

I am not saying they all have to tri coat paints or anything, just that the colors should be exclusive to the car... I can get True Blue on a $18k Dart, at least change it a little bit if you are gonna offer it on the Viper and call it True Viper Blue or something...

 

[KyleCoffey]

Coincidentally, you can have the same Dash, Nav cluster, and steering wheel controls from the Dart as well.

Agreed, but what if a Viper buyer likes the blue on the Dart on the lot? They can re-name it, but if it's a good colour nothing wrong with it IMO.

Similar TFT, the Dart and Viper have the speedo & Tach swapped. The steering wheel is different, but I'm being picky

But I see your point.

How much do you want Vipers to cost? I think some buyers would rather have the standard colors and a lower price...

 

[JRS200x]

Except that a majority of the colors on the Viper are at most $1000 adds, not $15k. I would think most people would be fine with paying $1000 for a paint color that is exclusive or special to the Viper and not the same as their neighbors sons Dart. In fact, I know they would be.

 

[Dave Z]

Some would care, some wouldn't, which is why some colors are unique, some aren't.

Then they can buy a '13 in shadow blue or GTS blue.it's not like that's the only color they offer....

 

[FreeLantz]

You would be surprised how many people with the... affluence... to afford a Viper or similar car will balk at paying extra for a color. Ask someone who sells them.

 

[JRS200x]

I do sell them.
