Default 03 anniversary red

Hello everybody.
Jumping over from the c-4 side. Just bought an 03 anniversary and can't wait to get it. Still have my 91 red metalic if anyone is interested. Looking foreward to an easier entry/exit to the cabin and the additional 100 hp and the shear beauty. Its a one owner with 74k on the clock.
Didn't research the mechanical aspects very much. Going on faith if I need any help I can get it here. The C4 guys were great for the last 5 yrs.
When I get it home I'll post some pics.

Welcome...... You're going to love the C5 and your right......if you come across an issue there is plenty of help you can tap into here on the Forum.

If you haven't done so already, check out the Sticky at the top of the page on "Weights, Measurements, etc." Excellent overview for any new C5 owner.

Look forward to your posts.....and pics of the new beauty

Plenty of info and helpful people here.
Did you buy an anniversary edition, or just an 03 that is red?
I think you'll love the differences between the C4 and the C5.
Best of luck.

My best friend has an anniversary coupe that's like new, and it's way prettier than my Z. Love that color combo.

Torch red is like fire engine red and anniversary red is like maroon (a dark red metallic with a gold base). A very rich color.

I thought I would share a pic or two to show those of you who don't really know what Anniversary Red looks like. It all depends on how the sun hits it as to how it looks. Here are a couple of my favorites of my 03 50th Anniversary Red Pace Car edition coupe. I am sure there are some here who have better pics without the Pace Car decals.

Welcome cedrop.

It is a whole lot easier getting into/out of a C5 over a C4. C5 is just so much better in every single way.

Does the CE come with the Magnesium wheels or are they colored differently?

My buddie's has the magnesium wheels on his. Kind of goldish color that really works with the Ann. Red.
