Default Pics of My New 2013 Torch Red GS Coupe

Thanks everyone for all the good advise and support. Here are a bunch of pics of my week old baby. She is a 2013 Grand Sport Coupe 2LT automatic with dual mode exhaust. I compromised a little with the auto, but that's ok. I had a real hard time finding a TR 2LT with manual, and I really wanted the silver wheels (They are all chrome for some reason).

Enjoy!

Very nice!

But I must question why you would compromise on what I would consider such a huge thing as MT vs AT. I mean, wheels can be changed and other otions added/deleted, but the transmission cannot.

I hope you do not regret that decision.

Wasn't a huge compromise. I liked the idea of the hand built engine. I actually do like the automatic, but it was hard to locate a manual with everything I wanted. GS-TR-2LT-NPP-Silver Wheels-Manual was the wish list. With stocks dwindling, I am happy my dealer found it and made a good deal for me. Plus, now there is a beautiful Corvette in my garage. I still can't believe it.

Torch Red is my favorite red. It reminds me of Nissans "Ultra Red" which was the color of a 96 300ZX Twin Turbo that I owned some years back.
