you only have 2 options as far as a z06's (C5) 01 385 hp....had a few issues as it was a first year release. easy fixes....no problems OR (C6) 07 ron fellows edition. extremely nice vehicle, costly due to the special edition package.......good luck

correct, white is the lowest production number of any corvette, especially the z06. the 02 bumped the hp rating. late 03 and 04 hp remained 405 'cept they inhanced the suspension a bit

If it's a good clean car with no body work needed, a decent color change will be in the 4-5000.00 range.

I still have the question of how much would it cost just to repaint one. or would that be just completely out of the question?
