Observation....
Just an intresting observation. I traded my white '99 vert in on a red '01vert about 2 weeks ago. My wife and I both notice that we used to get far more comments about the white car than we do the red.The new car is a lot cleaner than the the '99 and in fact I would consider it to be in show condition. People definately check this car out but usually don't say anything. Any comments on this strange phenomena?

White is...
I've been on the show circuit for 40 years and I've observed that most of the winners are red, white and blue. I've owned two white Verts and they were constant winners. I currently own both a white '86 and a blue '03. The '86 is "retired" but we are once again "out there" and winning with the '03. But I still prefer white; it is easier to keep clean and the color hides a lot of flaws!

I think it's because white cars are ugly and boring, EXCEPT for the Vette. Vettes are the only cars that look good in white. Soooo, when people see a white car that looks good, they're more apt to comment on it.

I'd have to agree that maybe it is because red is a more common color on a Corvette. Nice new car regardless.
