I am a first time Corvette owner, 2002 ZO6, and am curios why the engine has several signatures with numbers. Was this simply something done by the build team? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
Likely members of Corvette racing drivers, GM execs that previous owner got at races/museum event. If you post up pictures we can try to identify them.

First pic is Tommy Milner (#4 Corvette driver) and Jan Magnussen (#3 Corvette driver). Second pic is Doug Fehan (GM Corvette race program manager) Antonio Garcia (#3 Corvette driver) and Oliver Gavin (#4 Corvette driver).

Many Corvette/Race fans get items (cars included) signed by the team members at various race venues.

The signatures were obtained at some Corvette event at some point. Moving this to C5 General.
