IMHO white looks awesome on the C6. Was never a big fan of white on the C5.

Only thought is, I don't think the White shows the body lines like the darker colors do. Its very clean and classy looking, but..........
He wants to increase his allocation so is willing to take GMS and a 2000 Vert trade with a Smart Buy Program.
Yes, I know, get what you really want..... are there many " Great White " owners out there ?

Great White!!
I decided to go with white with tan top and interior. I think it shows the lines very well. I agree with the others you need to look at all the colors you are considreing in person.

Just my opinion.
No doubt that lighter cars show the lines of the better.

Final Decision..........
It has been quite difficult, but have finally made a decision to trade our 2000 C5 Vert, Pewter/ Oak/ Oak for a C6.
This was our first Vette after waiting many years, and we had a lot of Great Memories with road trips with NCRS National Road Trips and meeting many great people. I know we will continue to create fond memories....... But, like they say, you never forget your first time.
