From what I have seen black is a really common one and has been the cheapest. I have seen some really low priced yellow ones too, I think probably cause it takes the right kind of person to drive a yellow car.

j/k! i know what you mean about driving a yellow car though, people with cars like that seem to have the same kind of personality (have a friend with a yellow z71
) i would have a black f-body if i had my choice, and a black z06 if i had to choose vettes. stealthyness does it for me

imo, i would spend $18-20k on a 97-98 c5 with around 50k miles, put $10k into motor and stuff, and be spanking the z06 all day and your still at the cost of the stock z06. otherwise the z06 is bad azzzz.

Ha ha dont think so. I was torn between black and yellow. Remembering how much of a pain in the *** black is to keep clean convinced me.

Original Poster: Unless you can get a below market value deal on a Z06 AND plan on modding the car get a C5. You pay for all the little upgrades from GM. Why not just do them yourself, and use even better parts.
