2002 Red / Red Opinions
Well I'm new here and new to C5 Vettes so here goes. Sold some other toys to get my new toy,bought a 02 Torch red with red interior C5 coupe off the net sight unseen. Well ecxept for a few pics of course. Sure looks good in the pics and thats what I was looking for. Want to know if I did the right thing or not ? Got the build sheet and 411 2002 Vettes had this combo. Flying down to get the car March 10 and am a wee bit excited. LS1..Z51..Automatic..3.15 rear. 70000 miles. What do you guys think of the Red on Red C5's

I think it will look very good. However, if you want to change it up after a while, a mod red combo would look very good too.

My neighbor across the alley has a red/red 2000 vert with an auto. I like it. Red interior is rare and IMHO looks great. (but, I still like my nassau blue vert better 
).

Thanks for the thoughts guys! Pics will come after I get it. I'm in Minnesota and now we are getting winter 
. Have to pick it up 760 miles south of me in Missouri and worried about the driving conditions next weekend already.. Maybe should get it hauled up to me ? Anybody post up some pics of Red on Red C5's?

I'm assuming you're wondering about the Torch Red interior......I loved mine in my 94 and would have preferred the torch red interior when I bought my C5, but they just weren't that plentiful. I say, Congrats on finding a different C5....drive it like you stole it.
