The Numbers
In 2001, 5,773 Z06s were manufactured in five different colors: Quicksilver, Speedway White, Black, Torch Red, and Millennium Yellow. The most popular color in 2001 was Black while Speedway White was optioned in the fewest Z06s. Z06 sales increased by over 40 percent in 2002. Millennium Yellow, Torch Red, Quicksilver, and Black were held over from 2001. Electron Blue replaced Speedway White. Black was still the most popular color with Millennium Yellow being the least favorite. Color offerings remained the same in 2003; however, while Black was still the most popular selection, Quicksilver became the least popular in a model year that saw 8,635 Z06s produced. With expectations of the C6 generation, the final year of the C5 Z06 produced only 5,683 vehicles. Torch Red, Millennium Yellow, and Black were held over for the end of the fifth generation. Le Mans blue replaced Electron Blue and Machine Silver replaced Quicksilver. Le Mans Blue was the most popular color by almost two to one over the next most popular color - black.
In all, 28,388 Z06s had been produced during the C5 generation representing approximately one out of every five corvettes manufactured during the 2001 - 2004 model years.

Famous quotes containing the word numbers:
“... there are persons who seem to have overcome obstacles and by character and perseverance to have risen to the top. But we have no record of the numbers of able persons who fall by the wayside, persons who, with enough encouragement and opportunity, might make great contributions.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“The forward Youth that would appear
Must now forsake his Muses dear,
Nor in the Shadows sing
His Numbers languishing.”
