OK i went to dealership, been looking for months, to have shipped in an inferno orange drop top. GS, 3LT, with tan top.
But on show room floor was a White GS drop top, 3LT with gray heritage stripes. It has more options, than the orange but will be close to the same money, because it was going to cost 1000.00 to ship orange one into this dealership.
The white one has the mag ride control, is that worth the money?
It also has the preformance exhaust, is that worth it.
the white one has the black and tan interior, and tan top. It really looks classy.
final question, what do you guys think of a white vette? vs the orange.
pros and cons of each please.

I was never too fond of the "creamy white" colors offered on Vettes some years, but I love the arctic white.
My Silverado and the wife's Ho are both white.

If you like the white, get that one. They look great in person, and easier to maintain. The orange is awesome to...

I think the white is a color you just can't go wrong with. Over time, some of the other colors may loose some appeal. White and Black cars are as American as.....well.....Corvettes

I'm one of those who will never understand the point of "what do you think of this color?" threads since the opinions of others shouldn't be a factor in what you like. Since you asked, though...
I personally love the C6 in Arctic White, especially the convertible. Having said that, it's also my opinion that the cashmere/ebony interior doesn't do justice to the Arctic White exterior. The combo is too "Buick" or "Lexus" for my taste. On the other hand, Arctic White with the red/ebony interior is spectacular, as classic a Corvette color combo as there is. I'd go with the standard solid red seats (as opposed to the extra-cost 2-tone red/ebony ones). Forum member Gilbybar has this combo in a convertible and it's one of the nicest looking cars here IMO; hopefully he'll see this and post some pics for you to look at.

It's all personal preference FLUFFY. Myself, I'd prefer orange w/ black interior. But that's just me. I don't care for the tan or red interiors. Also, again personal but I don't think the magnetic ride nor the performance exhaust is worth the money. I'd go Corsa Extremes on the exhaust. Ask 20 people though and you'll get 20 answers.
The bottom line is, you can't go wrong. You're buying a new Vette and they're all wonderful.

Take the Color YOU Like the most, it won't take long to ship it as you are obviously already waiting trying to decide. The NPP and Mag ride are def worth it
Both Colors are Unique

You WON'T be happy unless you get the car that you really want.
I would call Tommy Jr. at MacCulkin Chevy (forum dealer) who will give you the best possible price (his was the best price I found when I bought mine - on my FIRST email to him) - order the car exactly the way you want it - then make sure you get the Museum delivery option (the ONLY way to get the full Corvette experience in buying the car) and then be patient until it comes.
That's my .02!
Good luck!
