Dealers sure like it. I just found my new Victory Red vert on Autotrader.com. I searched all colors and found a LOT of Victory Reds at dealers within 100 miles. The dealer I bought from had 3 Vettes in stock, all Victory Red.
Black and silver may account for higher sales, but I'll bet dealers order more reds for non-sold cars for stock. They 'pop' better on the showroom floor.

[QUOTE=OtherTime]Its the fastest color

Here we go.
There were 4 Reds offered in 05:
Percision Red & Mag Red Metalic II started the model year.
PRed was dropped by Oct and replaced by VicRed.
Monterey Red replaced MagRed in Dec
And you can't go by the #s - red is red. Add up all 4 reds and they blow away Black & Silver combined.
To quote Dave Hill, "You can have your Corvette in any color as long as it's RED".
