I'm just glad I'm not the only one! I'm actually goint to wait till the new Camaro or Pontiac like car comes out (wther a Gto or Firebird) before I get a new one. I might try to find an 02 in the color I want. Then I can Take all the mods off the white one and put on the new one. Which I have basically every mod there is from suspension to motor.

I didn't have too much color preference when i set out to buy my car. I was looking mostly at white or black cars, but i wasn't too picky. I wanted an M6 LS1 f-body that was well cared for. Model year, color, even camaro/firebird wasn't an issue to me. First car i test-drove was a black 99 Z28. Boy was that a pile. I looked at a couple T/As, a formula or two, an SS, and finally found my car. It was a white WS6. I liked white on my MX-6, but i was originally going for something different. I saw it in person and i knew it was my car. It was so well cared for and looked killer in white.

Then after i bought it, i came on here and saw someone post something about NBM. I remembered the NBM WS6 T/A i saw at an auto show a while ago. Sometimes i get mad at myself for forgetting about that color being the best thing EVER, but i think i like the white just as much.

I when the black is all shined up but its a bitch to keep it that way. White is ehhhh in my book and ive seen a few nice red F-bodys...Actually all colors have grown on me since owning one. I also think it depends on the model of the car too. IMO a white SS looks better than a white WS6 (i feel like it takes some of its edge away) Just my .02, i still ove 'em all.

I just hate the cleaning, after 1 day of driving its covered in dust and you can see every piece of dust. I personally don't like stock white camaro's but there are some really sharp moded ones on here. Just do a few mods, and that white car will look totally different.

yeah white does own when it comes to keeping it clean, Its so damn sunny here in FL my car always looks clean.

When i bought my car it was 100% stock, and i thought it looked a little plain, but once im finished with my appearance mods ill show you guys.

i thought it would be a cool idea to not update you guys with every little appearance thing, but to kind of "unveil" it when it was the way i wanted. soo i have almost everything, rims too, but i dont ahve teh cash to order tires just yet, once i do ill show you guys a white car you have never seen before! dun dun dun

I really like my silver, and it's nice that it still looks pretty clean even when very dirty. However, it doesn't clean up as nicely as black or NBM, but I also don't have to wash it as often.

I like my 98 red z28 but I loved the color of my 96 z28. I always though it was SOM but it turns out it wasn't produced that year in that color. It was a cayenne red metallic or something like that. Although red has grown on me.

IMHO white and red don't flow well on firebirds but do look good on camaros. A white ss with grey, black, or red accents (or colors of this sort) look bad ***.

I said when looking for a f-body. I want ANYTHING but a white car, and ANYTHING but tan int. I ended up with a white on tan car LOL... Oh well

White grew on me the second I seen it, and the tan int has JUSt started to grow on me.

the only white f-bodies i like are the 30th anniv white/blue T/A's and the white/orange SS's.

white cars look unpainted to me.

I love my color. In fact, the color is the main reason I bought the car and have kept it 4.5+ years even though I REALLY want an M6.

I think I'd be happy with a T/A in any color, except for maybe Pewter. Sport Gold, White, SOM, or Silver would be my top choices if I had to do it again.

I like NBM, but is such a bitch to keep clean. LeMans Blue on a Corvette is almost as dark but looks 100x better because it doesn't have that black tint to it like NBM.

At first I didn't like pewter, when I went down to the dealership to buy my car they listed the car as silver metallic, so I jumped right on it. I was disappointed when saw the actual color was pewter. But, after one wash and a good waxing, my opinion changed 180*. Pewter looks amazing at night and in the sun.
