I may be biased, but the C5 in white is the best, with navy blue in 2nd. When I was shopping for my car, I didn't consider getting white, and came across this one by accident and fell in love.

Also, looking down the quarter is the best view. Share a favorite picture of yours.

It is incredible how many compliments I still get on this car after having it for 16 years.

I agree! I think white shows of the lines of a c5 like no other color. My holy grail would have been a white c5 coupe with torch red interior (kind of rare) but I ended up with a black on black coupe. still happy though!

White looks great, but I get many complements on the color of my Electron Blue Z.

Corvette comes in 2 colors. Red and ugly. Just Joking. White is actually my second color of choice.

Love the wheels! Good looking car. Have you seen the speedway white 2001 Z06? That is the nicest C5 hands down. Love those cars.
