Your opinion on white corvettes

2010 Arctic White coupe. The previous owner had the dealer custom paint thin red and silver pinstripes along the upper body sides and on the hood. Those stripes really show off the contours of the body panels. They also painted the Corvette indentation in the rear with red. Chrome wheels, red brake calipers, and red interior. I don’t see very many other whites where I live and it seems to be a head turner. I was lucky to find it at the dealers. Ironically the dealer wanted to move it quickly since no one seemed to be interested in it. PS. Quite a few of my lady friends are impressed with it….

I love white cars BUT would never buy one. I think they look great but when I buy a car ( I almost always factory order) I would feel somewhat cheated if I ordered white over all those nice colors to choose from...
My last 2 Corvettes have been Electron Blue and Victory Red. It would have been hard to order white over those 2 choices...
When I was a kid I ordered a 1972 Mustang Mach 1 in White with black stripes. A week after placing the order I went back in and changed it to Bright Red.... I came close................... once.

Love white vettes. I looked for a long time before I found mine. White with tint just looks so clean. Black is my second favorite.
I just didnt want a color that everyone has. Black, silver and especially red. Black is my second fav though.

Well, mine is LMB, my first choice - buuuuuuut, I love the white ones too. Always reminds me of of couple of my favorite Chevy powered race cars when I was a kid - the Jim Hall Chaparrals and the 2nd iteration paint scheme of the original GS cars.
PS - and, the interior color can be whatever you want - everything goes with white!

I wound never buy a white car. Company cars used to be mostly white. I think white is boring and it is not one of the most popular colors ordered.
