Hello,
I have a 2002 coupe, quicksilver with torch red interior. I have not noticed this color combo. Does anyone know if this was an unusual combo or just not well liked ?
Thanks in advanced for any and all replies.

Thanks for the responses, as usual my question was answered. My first vette was a 96 white with torch red int. liked the torch red so it looks like I was lucky to find my 02.

Red interiors are definitely not for everyone. I would guess your combo is pretty rare.

Corvette Action center shows that there were 1808 quicksilver coupes produced in 2002 (12% of total). 411 coupes were ordered with red interior (3% of total). See attached chart. (Z06 red interiors were actually red/black (mod red) but seem to be counted as plain red). So yes, I would say that is a scarce combination.

I just revisited the Action Center chart and see that Torch Red isn't even listed as an interior color option. Could that be right?

Ain't that a mystery. Looks good though! Did I miss something on the chart? The numbers ad up to 100%. Maybe Firethorn should read Torch red?
