Default White = so rare?

so im in the process of purchasing an '03 Z...
and honestly, my top choice for color would have to be white.

but for some very odd reason... there are absolutely NO whites for sale in my area (Toronto, Canada). Why is white so rare? Heck, even black seems to be real rare. It seems like every Z I come across is most likely silver...

I really hope I can find an 03' in white... I would hate to settle for anything less.

White??? It's called Pikes Peak White my friend . J/k im only bustin yer chops. I agree I had trouble finding a PPW myself. My second choice was Super Black so I got that instead. It's an awesome color, but so hard to keep clean. And thats an understatement. Good luck.

Pikes Peak is awesome not only is it white, it has blue and silver flakes in it i think. Few people comment my car looks like a UFO hehe.

I also feel police dont home in on my car because its white, i have a feeling if i had Ultra Yellow every one would have there eyes on me.

Check out my PPW Z. I get a ton of compliments on it. It is by far in my opinion the best color on a 350. Dont see a lot of PPW around either.

Someone published production numbers for 2003 a while back..

1. Silverstone
2. Chrome Silver
3. Daytona Blue
4. Super Black & Lemans Sunset (tie)
5. Brickyard
6. Redline
7. Pikes Peak White

PPW was lowest in 2003.. not sure if that is true after 2003 but probably because I definately have seen more Brickyards than I do PPW..

Also one of the harder (hardest) to paint match unless you pay and get a good guy.

But I love my PPW track. Found it used with 3000 miles on it. Love it.

I don't get it why? Besides that it looks SUPER GREAT after a car wash and wax. Only to be dirty again in a few hours

Brickyard = USA only
Or was it North America (including Canada?)
