How rare are the White Z06's (C5)?? Just wondering. I am looking at picking up a Z06 (c5) next year and really wanted white. Any ideas on how rare they are or does anyone have any good pics of any?

352 was the production number on the white 01 Z but they are not really worth any more than any of the other 5 colors that were avilable for the Z06 that year ...that is unless you run across someone who really thinks that they are something special ... 
.. then they are .. 
PS The reason that they did not build many in that color was that white was not very popular and still is not very popular. It is the lowest produced Corvette color year in and year out ...

2000 -- 3rd Lowest @ 1979. Bested by Nassau Blue (851) and Dark Bowling Green (1663). 10 Total Available colors
2001 -- 2nd Lowest @ 2465. Bested by Dark Bowling green (919). 9 total abailable colors
2002 -- Officially the lowest @ 1763. 8 Available colors
2003 -- Again the lowest at 679. 8 colors again
2004 -- Lowest again at 1741. 8 Colors again
As far as I can tell, white seems to be a fan favorite among Corvette enthusiasts. It was my personal second choice (HOT iwth a firethorn interior) behind Nassau Blue. Thought the numbers don't show it, people always seem to rave about how good C5's look in white.

Thanks for making my point for me. White was the lowest produced color in the last three years that you listed and next to lowest in the fourth year. It was next to last in 2005 also. You obviously have a vette black book read the numbers sir. Popular colors are produced in the three, four or five and six thousand range. We do not stock white cars due to its lack of popularity. White cars are sitters not sellers. We sold over 400 Vettes last year and three were white. One was a coup we ordered for stock inventory and it sat here for 7 months before anyone loved it enough to take it home. The other two were custom ordered for two of my customers who wanted the classic color combo of white with red interior. We like to roll our inventory in less than 60 days so we stock what sells and order not so popular configurations for our customers that want them. I can get them what ever configuration that they want in 28 days.

I love my 2000 white FRC,..with black wheels and the brake ducts. Ever since I bought the car(wihout ducts)....people think it's a Z06. Even people, that know cars,..look at it, and think it's a Z06. Then when I tell them now,...they're like oh,..didn't notice you didn't have ducts.
I see, parked next to me almost everyday, a 2001 speedway white, Z06. It also has my old black wheels on it. Also, he has mod red, I have black. When you look at both of them side by side...I like the artic white,...compaired to semen white(speedway) Z06.
check it out, look for pastvertical's post. I think he has some shots of the cars side by side,..for a color comparison. If not,..i'll try and get it from my picture account
