When I was searching I spent months looking for a car that was in near perfect shape and very low miles so I wasn't too picky on the color. I really wanted a silver car being it looks awesome and still hides the dirt pretty well, but I ended up finding this car and couldnt pass it up. The white has definately grown on me, but I want to get some new rims and lower it to make it look that much better. I am very happy I ended up with white though, because at college scratches are a common thing to find on your car, but with white you can't see them so I am very happy about that

By no means do I hate my black Z, but owning a black car means you can't do the Berger panel mod, not to mention the cleaning factor also. Aside from that, no complaints
If I could afford a custom paint job, I would go with Viper steel grey, or candy apple red

I love my black car.........when its clean for the 10 minutes after I wash/wax it. But damn black f-bodies look good when they're clean.
Aside from being a PITA to keep clean I have no regrets getting a black one. On the same hand I dont think I'll ever own a black car again.

I didn't really have a set color in mind, except I wasn't going to buy a black car. So when I found my pewter metallic T/A I fell in love. They pulled it out of the detailing bay at the Dodge dealership and it shined and had such a nice sparkle in it b/c of the sunlight hitting it I just loved it even more then. So I am happy with the color choice I got and wouldn't trade it for any other color.

There's something about SOM that I just dont like. That burnt orange just doesnt trip my trigger. I love my NBM and I like the silver as a second choice. Black is too mundane for me.

Therefore white cars are every color (because they reflect every color light) and black cars are no color (because they abosorb every color of light).
Take notes kids, this is why you shouldn't post after 1:00am like me, you get all deep...
Anyways, I LOVE my color NBM but also like white. It's very clean and stands out when done right...
I can't really think of any color I don't like on the LS1's... besides that Plum/Purple crap... Not a fan of Pewter but it's not bad, I just liked the Silver better.

Whether or not white is a f#@^ing color aside..........
I love the look of fresh clean black unfortunately, that lasts for five minutes
I loved my pewter bird at first then found it too blah.
I never really considered white until the car fell into my lap. At first I thought it was ok but, now the stark contrast of black and white...I love it!....
And white is a color

And i dont really like pewter, or green. I'd buy anything else.
White can be really nice when its done right (white v black contrast is the real way to make it look good), and when its clean.
