I have received lots of comments from other vette owners saying how much they like the white. I guess it is just not a common color so people are surprised to see one.

Speedway White might be the rarest color for the C5. At least it was for 2003...

Only 679 for 2003.

It may be that people just don't see white C5's that often.

I have to say the White Vettes do catch my eye and keep it, but I love my Black Vert.

I get plenty of comments on my car at shows, cruise nights, etc. Many people say it's nice to see something other than red. I wasn't sure about the color when I first bought it, but I love it now.

Yes you will get many comments on the white, it looks great, now quit bragging and get used to the fact that you bought the fastest color available No pigments it has to be faster.
