Default Finally got my Corvette
Just joined this wonderful and amazingly informative forum. Looking forward to learning from many of you. I pick up this 2003 coupe in torch red with only 62K. Cant wait to make her my own with several mods and upgrades.

Welcome to the forums. Great looking ride you have there. Always liked the torch red. I used to have a Monte Pace car in torch red.
