When I first purchased her from Ramp Corvette I had the Vette Doctors do a head and cam package on the original LS1 engine.
At that time, they also changed the gears to 3.73, installed hardened output shafts, and upgraded my torque converter.
I had asked for a shift kit. However, Carmen (one of the owners) informed me that I did not need a shift kit because he could adjust the shift points during the dyno tune. He also told me he strengthened the tranny (I don't have the details of what was done there).
If you are asking if the transmission has been replaced by someone like RPM transmissions, the answer is no.
I don't race the car at the track or on the street. I just think the power is nice to have and I enjoy talking about the car with my friends at work.
The Vette Docs told me as long as I don't race around my tranny should be fine and it is.
Have a nice day.
Thanks and Regards,
Anthony

If so, are you concerned about not being able to see her first? If so, there are independent inspections offered on Ebay.
Are you concerned about shipping? It's Summer time! What better vacation than buying a plane ticket to New York and then driving Bella cross country back to San Diego? Alternatively, there are shipping options on Ebay where you can arrange for transportation to you.
The Buy it now price has dropped to $28,000 but I will consider any reasonable offer from Corvette Forum members that exceeds $24,000 (assuming I can end the Ebay auction in time).

I just have 2 questions:
How does it cost 85 dollars to lower it on the stock bolts?
How many miles are on the rest of the car?
I will say this car is worth 26g all day. Extremely fair price but I would never go to ebay to buy this car from you, I would prefer to keep it in the family.
Bump for a fellow New Yorker.
