Love my white '99 Coupe (with '01 wheels)...and I enjoy seeing all these other white examples. Black is truly is an awesome color - but if you're a perfectionist, trying to keep up with black will literally drive you insane!

I love the tradition of the Corvette and with that the White color, and especially if the guts are red or red/black, is a huge part of it. Corvette colors!!
Just 300 Corvettes were made in 1953. Each of these first-year Corvettes was a white roadster with red interior.
The 500 thousandth was wite, the one millionth, and the 1.5 milionth was white. The ONLY 1983 C4 in existence is white, and until the C5 the first color that rolled off the assembly line was white.
The last C4 was also white. I don't know what GM was thinking when the first C5 wasn't white, but I guess that goes to show you the problems GM was facing with decision making of the time.

White is my favorite color. My C6 will definitely be white... and if I cant find white... silver will have to do.
Red interior compliments the color exceptionally well. Nice vettes in this thread!

Black are nice,but I like the chrome better. Mine has a set of reproduction Z06 in some type of grayish/titanium color, The first chance I get I'll change them to chrome, 19" backs and 18" fronts
