Thoughts on a White C5?
I personally think white looks great on the C5 all models. I know that the speedway white was only available in the 2001 Z06 so I am assuming they will be a little more expencive to purchase. I have been looking at a few in Z06's in black but just really think the white shows the body lines so well. Just my .02 because I see some comments about people hating white.

My wife's Speedway White with a custom white interior. I'm partial to red, but white is a close second. My wife LOVES her white vert.

Would you rather have a high mileage white or a low mileage blue Vette?
I prefer a convertible but when I spotted a low mileage hardtop I scooped that baby up.
There will always be someone who will not like a color choice. Don't allow someone else's comment on a color choice to persuade you into getting something you won't be happy with. White looks great.
Good luck on your quest.

Yes, there are many lovers of white, but....see what you can find. All colors look GREAT, so get the best one you can find for the best price in the best condition (but if WHITE - great choice)

I wanted a white, MT6 C5 with a Black/Oak interior. It took me a while, but I found mine about 1,000 miles away from my home. FedEx'd it here, and now...

White on the C5 is a very good color - just not sure it will bring any premium when you try to buy it. Good luck finding one that is just right for you.
