Red was the original color for Vipers, and has always been their " Signature " color. You were correct that there are many Red Viper, as color choices have always been limited, but Red was always one of the choices, with few exceptions ( example 96 GTS's were Blue/ White ,only ). The interesting note is that last year Red was the least common color with only 255 RT-10's and only 226 GTS's. The Red GTS was actually the least common model/color combination of 2000, and it appears that Red will be the third most popular color for 2001. So be patient, and you may find it hard to get a Red Viper , as not as many have been ordered.
