That is a great looking C5 Z. White ones are a sweet rarity.

That's the color you settle for, because you can't find Torch Red

Hold out for Speedway white, good taste should be rewarded. Also they call it "hide-it-white" for a reason. When I detail this one it comes out looking like new. The butt end shows the road grime rather quickly (like one drive) but it cleans up so well.

White was my first choice when I was shopping for a Z06. I have no regrets about the car I ended up with but anytime I see a nice white C5 I have to stop and look it over for a while. They look fantastic on a bright sunny day.

Might be a stupid question but this looks like the place to ask it.......... Why is it "Speedway White", I could see "Artic White" or "Frozen White". Just wondering what the reference to "Speedway" was.

It's a classic color... look at ALL of the 53's and 80% of the 54's. AND they don't don't make ridiculous comments about ALL Corvettes Being White.. hahaha Seriously though, I love my 2002 Speedway White Convertible.
