08 GTS blue with white strips at Serramonte Nissan in Bay area.

[Xhlr8n]

Hi,

Any of the Northern Ca VCA members know any history on the 08 blue and white GTS they had at serramonte nissan?

I just picked her up last week for 59.5, she's only got 4500 miles, although the tires look alittle worn. Very clean car from what I can tell. Not a scratch on it, paint or rims, even under front chin is clean. Was it a VCA members car? Purchased in 08 in Dublin area and remained in Bay area. Manager claimed origional owner traded it in on a GTSR.

Any help would be appreciated.

the white stripes wasnt a factory option for that color in a coupe, so someone one here should no it...

Do you mean a 1998 GTS, or do you mean a 2008 SRT-10 Coupe? They stopped making the GTS back in 2002 until the 2013 cars came out.

Replace the tires first. Vipers and old tires are a bad combination. Pay attention to tire date codes. You hit 4 years, get new ones no matter how much tread is left.

Interesting! I have a 08 Blue with White stripe coupe. Obviously not factory but as far as I know there was one other car like that. The other car was wrecked and repaired recently and seller was in FL I believe. Car had 50k+ miles on it last I heard.

Hum........

 

[Timnineside]

That must be a 98 with that price and miles.

 

[Xhlr8n]

Yes it is the one in that video,

This is my 5th viper, Ive owned a gen 1 roadster, a gen 2 #039 GTSR, two gen 3 convertibles and now this 08 coupe (looks like the GTS blue color, not sure if its the exact same or not) it is NOT a 96 or 97.

Also the white stripes are under the clear coat. Looks factory not add-on.

It has the two tone Black and Blue interior as well.

Thanks

Definitely not factory stripes. These are gen 3 style stripes. The 08+ would have tapered wider towards the rear.

Nice looking car though.

Correction: Factory stripes are both over and under a clear coat. They are painted over the existing base/clear coat then painted on and clear coated. In other words, the stripes do in fact have a clear coat.

Still hoping to find someone (hopefully a N. Cal VCA member) who is familiar with the car...?

 

[Viper808]

only the 2010's have the tapered stripes that start off small in the front and get wider..

You sure about that......... Maybe tapered more.......

 

[Lawrenzo]

Great deal on that car even with the "aftermarket" stripes.

Cooincidently, the high mileage one just showed up on Ebay today.

 

[01sapphirebob]

This is correct. The 2010 cars have the tapered stripes. Narrower in front and get wider as they go towards the rear of the car. The '08 & '09 have the thin same width stripes that run the length on the car.

 

[VicTxV10]

Those are like OEM 08-09 stripes. They start out in the front around 5" and widen to end up about 9" on the rear deck. I say "like" since there were no factory GTS blue with white stripe cars. Beautiful car!!

 

[Timnineside]

The 08's are tapered. Not as much as the 10's but still there. I can get you exact measurements if you would like.

 

[Smog Dog]

There is a lot of taper in the 08-09 stripes, and there is a lot of misinformation in this thread. Here are the exact measurements....http://forums.viperclub.org/threads/610340-2008-Coupe-Stripes?p=2487744#post2487744

Thanks for the accurate update smog dog..!

Looks like you finally have the correct information here. My question is why do some of you idiots post things that are incorrect and say they are correct. When in fact you don't know squat?
