One of the immortalized monikers in the American automobile industry is Chevrolet. The brand is still going strong today after growing in popularity on racetracks and becoming an American icon. Over the years, Chevy has granted us brilliant automobiles, including the Corvette sports car series. It is an outstanding sports car that competes favorably among the best in the world while carrying a bargain price tag and daily drivability. Here we have a 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible built by MATRIX Werks in Detroit, Michigan. This specimen is clocked at 8,000 miles and has some tasty upgrades under its belt.

Exterior and Interior

It's a popular belief that red makes any car look fantastic. This is one of those instances in which the saying is proven true. Cloaked in red paint, this 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible by MATRIX Werks steals attention and accentuates its unmistakable silhouette. Walking around this car, you will notice hints that reveal the vigorous athlete hidden beneath. The vents carved into the fenders, the upgraded hood with vents, and the custom whale tail rear bumper give the Corvette a unique touch while adding to its aerodynamic profile. The staggered HRE 19- and 20-inch 3-piece wheels stand out against the red exterior. Adding a sense of nostalgia, the pop-up headlights nod to the Corvette's classic design. The current tan top you see in these pictures is new and pristine. Although for those who prefer a darker look, an extra brand-new top in black is included. The Corsa Catback Exhaust system that pokes out of the rear adds a breathtaking exhaust note to this Corvette. While you listen to its roar, you can get comfortable in the tan cabin fitted with two supportive seats. The dash features white gauges and a few control buttons, while the center console houses the stereo and A/C controls.

Engine

Propelling this beauty is an LS1 5.7L V8 engine, topped with a mighty Magnussen Supercharger. In addition, the current owner reports a new battery, mild cam, long tube headers, and carbon fiber engine covers. With a six-speed Z06 transmission featuring a 4:10 gear ratio, this 'Vette delivers staggering acceleration and faster off-the-line speed. The slotted rotors and Brembo brakes provide stopping power to match the car's capabilities.
