01 Z06's where Speedway White. It was an off, eggshell type color instead of the bright white. You could get HUD as an option, and Mod Red.
02 up was std. w/ HUD, and Mod Red Int. was the only option.

Anybody have a picture of the Machine Silver? I saw an 01 silver Z06, and the color looked the same as an 04 I thought.

For what its worth,

Artic White was never a color for the Z06. In '01, the coupes and convertibles were available in Artic White. However, the Z06 was available in Speedway White, a special color for the Z06.

Machine Silver is between Quicksilver and Pewter. IMO it looks more refined and most likely the fastest color. It also happens to be the rarest color next to Speedway White for the Z06 production run 01-04. The new C6 Z06 pics you may have seen from the auto shows are Machine Silver.

There were more Z16's than Machine Silver cars built.


Bet you can't guess what color mine is.

Thanks for the info. So MS and QS are available for an 04 Z? I'd like to see a pic of your car if you have one.

No, just MS in 04. QS was replaced by it. It is a very nice color.

I've never actually seen Machine Silver and Quicksilver side by side.

This, though, is my 2004 Machine Silver, FWIW.

Thanks again, I feel stupid here not knowing what color the car is I just bought!
So, my 04 is Machine silver afterall. I'm gonna take some pictures today and try to post them as well. I didn't think it was as dark as yours, but the lighting in the garage is not good either.
