white was on top of my search criteria. the white z06s are some of the best looking corvettes around imho. here's mine on the salt flats

I think white is the best color for a coupe except for pewter. I had two white coupes in a row and now I have a torch red "99" coupe. I really miss the white cars. All c5s are beautiful no matter what color but I think white is "badazz"! see avatar.

when I bought a new 74 T-top I really wanted a silver one. Salesman said it would take three weeks to get it in but the white one in the showroom was available now. Drove it off the carpet and out into about 10 inches of snow. Had it for 7 years and never regreted having a white one. White looks good on all cars and trucks. White bodys makes the wheels stand out and look good too. Enjoy, Oh, in 1974, CB radios were big and my "handle" in the vette was the "White Lightning" hahaha

If you are willing to buy a coupe or convertible, Speedway White was also available in 2002.

Looking through these posts.. Beautiful White Vettes! If I didn't have black then white would definitely be on my list of top choices.
