Vehicle Description
This 2003 Chevrolet Corvette has logged an unusually low 57,000
miles and embodies all that's so special about this beloved
nameplate. Well taken care of and carefully preserved, it comes
complete with a dyno sheet to attest to its substantial power
output, as well as its original warranty and owner's manual for
historical perspective.
Coming along toward the conclusion of the fifth generation of
Corvettes and heralding the model's 50th Anniversary, this 2003 has
a low, road-hugging stance, wide track and aerodynamic shape that
equip it with great handling and an unusually low drag coefficient.
Its distinctive conformation makes it seem like it's coiled and
poised to strike, an appearance that's amplified by its set of
staggered wheels. The electron blue paint it wears is a standout
shade that really does this 'Vette justice as, while it's the
original color, it has a sort of aftermarket flash to it and
carries a nice shine. Hidden headlights were a defining feature on
the Corvettes from this era and the pair worn by this '03 are in
good form, raising up when called upon, while sitting nice and
flush when off-duty. The Targa top configuration offers you the
versatility of easily switching from exhilarating open-air driving
to a more sheltered environment at your choosing and the color
matched panels that are included seal nicely.
Corvettes became known over the years for their aeronautically
inspired cockpits, and the taupe leather environment you'll see
inside these doors certainly holds true to that heritage. Its power
sport leather bucket seats have the comfort you'd want for routine
driving, yet also offer enough bolstered support to keep you firmly
in place while cornering. They straddle a clean center console that
positions the shifter within easy reach and offers welcome interior
storage space. Farther forward, the dash area carries a bevy of
well-placed controls, and a Bose AM/FM that teams with a CD changer
capable of handling a dozen discs is in place at its center. All
the comfort features you'd want are on board, including power
windows, power locks, power seats, dual climate air conditioning
that blows cold and strong, cruise control and an anti-theft system
- certainly welcome in a car as attention getting as this one is.
The dash area is in great shape, with no tears on its pad, and an
assortment of clear gauges. Take this icon out on the road and wind
it up and you'll be able to monitor its vitals via one of Chevy's
most inspired advances: it's "Heads Up" display that projects vital
stats onto the lower windshield. Dual air bags provide an added
measure of safety in the event of a collision.
Underneath the lengthy hood sits a 5.7 liter LS1 V8 that's fed by
electronic fuel injection. Professionally tuned, it's in top form,
inhaling cold, dense air via a twin cone intake system and exhaling
into a pair of ceramic-coated long tube headers leading out to a
Magna Flow dual exhaust. The engine teams with a 4 Speed automatic
transmission that's shifting smoothly and offers an overdrive gear
for low RPM highway cruising. Armed with power disc brakes at all
four corners, this 'Vette can stop in impressively short order when
called upon to do so. The signature Selective Ride Control system
alters the ride as needed, making it equally adept at comfortable
cruising and pulse-quickening corner carving as it heats up the
asphalt on its set of staggered Corvette 5-spoke chrome wheels -
17" in front and 18" in back, wearing Michelin Pilot Sport
tires.
