I am looking for a Z06 .I drove a 03,32,000 miles and it was a blast. I have also found a 01 thats white and only has 6,000, one owner miles.What are the adv. and disadv. of the two other than 385 hp versus 405 hp . The man that has the white one says they only came in white 1 year.True or not ? Any and all help would be great!

True, you could only get white the first year. Some '01's had a ring flutter issue that caused excessive oil consumption, but there's a service bulletin out where most of them should have been fixed. If it's not under warranty, I do not believe that GM will fix it for free if that '01 wasn't already fixed and it has the problem.
If you plan to mod it anyway, I'm not sure the extra 20HP would make too much difference. I believe the primary change to get the extra HP was the cam if I am not mistaken.
Happy hunting. It's a great car. For the money, it can't be beat.
Incidentally, 32K miles is high for an '03. Mine had about 20K miles on it, and that was also considered high. You can find many under 10-15K miles for under $35K. Just don't look for it on a dealer lot.
