I was measuring my stripes to make sure when I repaint it that I get the width and spacing correct. The stripes are 8" and are spaced 4 1/2". is this correct for a sapphire striped 01'

I believe so.
Did a search for 'stripe'
VIPER STRIPES
1996 - GTS's, the stripe width is 8 1/4", 3-15/16" between the stripes
96 - 209mm-100mm-209mm
97 up (changed again in 2000 or 2001 I think): 203mm-112mm-203mm
2001 - 8 inches wide, 4 1/2 inches between the stripes
2002 - Stripes are 8" wide, 4-7/16" between the stripes

Is there another Sapphire that can confirm 4 3/8" or 4 1/2"
don't like mine? I used 1" as the ZERO mark, lined up the measure with the stripe edge on the left and then moved the camera to line up straight with the stripe edge and took the pic.

Oh My Gawd !!! You placed a tape measure on the hood of your car?!? The anal-retentive clean freaks are going to eat you alive!!!
That looks awesome.
2 of us isn't enough?
I painted mine on and just went with 8/4/8. I went through the naca duct and the license plate area, not all Vipers do that, just personal preference.
You've gotta love these cars, the pics these cars take caused me to buy $2500 worth of camera equipment.
That particular picture a few posts above is out of focus but does have it's own unique appeal. Perhaps the blurryness actually enhances the 'effect' of the pic as it does make the eyes look harder at the pic. This picture is taken with a DSLR 12.2Mp Canon Camera. The Blue has been slightly enhanced to bring the color in the picture closer to what the eye sees.

Hey I just wanted to make sure, I want to get it right the first time as the person who put the stripes on obviously got mine wrong, everywhere I looked I found 4 1/2 spacing on 01' so obviously the sapphire is different.
Here's a picture of VWIPER's Silver striped 01 Sapphire ACR while we were in Detroit last year. His Viper is the closer one and mine is the Sapphire GTS with the hood up.

That Looks like a sketchy places to get a detail?
It was Detroit, you know? 3 Vipers washed and dried within 20 minutes.
We were driving to Milan Drag Strip and got washed by a horrendous storm (dirty detroit?). We drifted on their wet skid pad instead. Our Vipers got embarassassingly dirty. 20 minutes and $15(?) and we were clean and back on the highway heading for dinner/banquet.
Perfect for what we needed and I'm sure our pictures were on their wall next day.

Just went out and measured mine too. 4 3/8" between the stripes. Measured it on the fascia, hood and tail to be sure!

Ted what's up with those clear coat scratches? That would drive me nuts.
It does. I spend a lot of time with my polisher between wax coatings. Tito sent me swirl mark remover and the paint looks good every time I polish it.

Ted this picture and stance are incredible,I say you can not get any other gen viper to stand out like this one, period!
Joe.
Thanks, kinda weird about that pic.
Auto focus didn't and I didn't delete it. "Stance"? I don't know, this picture is strange. It does seem to have an 'effect'.
Here's an excelent pic with good color and saturation, although it doesn't seem to have that "effect"?

It's all about the angle, Ted. The first one had the best angle and would have looked even better if in focus.
Nope, this is in focus and same angle. I've got about 20-30 of that angle.
Everyone is better technically.

This picture is a year different and a mile down the road from the blurry pic ... this one is also excellent even though it is a point and shoot camera and not even half as good as the blur.

Wrong, Ted. The blurry Viper is on a down slant while in the other pice, the Viper is on an up slant; different angle and the down slant is a much more menacing posture. Now, get back out there and take the money shot. The picture above is closer but still not quite the angle. What a shine though! Yummy!

This is before the Tunnel through the Mountain. I took the soft focused pic a mile farther down the road.

The color of your Viper looks better in soft light than it does in the sun. It's stunning.
Thanks.
I bought a Canon T1i and now I can get some decent sunlight pics. All the point and shoot cameras (even the $700 ones) weren't picking up the Blue in the sunshine and the color usually washed away. But, I'v gotten a few 'keeper' shots lately.
