Default What years?

Hey guys, can you tell me what years the C5Z was offered in the "beige" color? Could have been Pewter I guess. Don't know the actual name for it, but I saw one today and was just curious.

I dont think there was from the factory. At least Ive never seen one. Could be a aftermarket paint job.

I never saw a Pewter Z06.

Do you know if they made any colors that resembled beige in the Z? I guess he could have been a poser with badges, but it looked legit to me.

What you probably saw was an FRC not a Z06. I've seen them myself. A quick look could easily mistake one for the other.

Well, it definitely had badges. While I'm no C5 expert, this car was done well. It even had the Z lower panels and "scoop" (guess it is a brake duct?) in front of the rear wheel. Anyway, I guess it was just a Z clone, but thought it looked sharp.

Pewter was never a factory paint color on any year C5Z06 2001-2002
White,Yellow,Black, Red, Silver and Blue.. White was only for 2001.. 2002-2003 Electron Blue replaced White . 2004 Lemans Blue replaced Electron Blue... What you saw was a 1999-2000 FRC cloned to look like a Z06

Exactly... the 99-00 FRC's came in Pewter. Not my car, but it looks like this.
