OPTIMA Presents Corvette of the Week: Diamond in the Rough at a Ford Dealership

New Corvette Forum member “USMC_C5Z06” otherwise known as Nick from Naples, Florida, just picked up this fireball of fury. It’s a Torch Red 2001 Corvette Z06 with 22,000 miles on the clock. Some of the mods include a K&N AirCharger cold-air intake, Borla Stinger dual four-inch exhaust, ACI chin spoiler and black C6 Corvette wheels.

Ironically, Nick stumbled across this C5 at a Ford dealership. How’s that for a diamond in the rough?

Here’s what the forum had to say about Nick’s Ford-dealer find:

Head to the forum to give Nick your congratulations.
