2001 corvette, some modifications. Does this take away or add to the car
I sold my 96 a few weeks ago and have been looking for a 99 - 01 car.
I found a blue one. Love the color. Not sure about modifications. Car has the following. Would these kill re-sale or would they have no affect. * Hurst Short Throw Shifter * Vara-Ram Ram Air * TPIS Long Tube Headers * Corsa Touring Exhaust * 3.90 Rear End With Hardened Shaft * 18 * Dyno Tuned At JD Auto * Engine Has Approximately 410 Horsepower I don;t need the stuff. It is already on the car. You know, my car was a bitch getting in and out. BUT the seats were definitely better then the 05 seats. My $0.02 anyway. |

low miles, only driven on sundays.

Except for the gear change, that ain't a bolt-on
and costs a few bucks in parts and labor. lab~rat >:-) wrote: >On Tue, 07 Mar 2006 21:15:58 -0600, Bob I > puked: > > > >>Humm, I would tend wonder how many short trips it made? >> >> > >You have a point, but those mods look more like driver upgrades than >serious racing changes.

It will devalue the car in 50 years. Do you care? If the seller threw
the old parts out then pick up replacements on ebay while they're common and store them. Two concerns I would have: 1. The seller probably wants to get the investment back out of the sale price 2. I'd never own another car with headers. Unless everything lines up perfectly then get used to replacing gaskets. -rev |

'Would these kill re-sale or would they have no affect.
*** Hurst Short Throw Shifter *** Vara-Ram Ram Air *** TPIS Long Tube Headers *** Corsa Touring Exhaust *** 3.90 Rear End With Hardened Shaft *** 18 *** Dyno Tuned At JD Auto *** Engine Has Approximately 410 Horsepower I don;t need the stuff. It is already on the car.' REPLY: Chances are, the previous owner did these mods for racing with that rear-gear and Hurst shifter ..although it may have still been a street only car. To answer your question, it could be a real selling point if a prospective buyer likes getting a car with a good h.p./tq upgrade over stock ; the opposite is true if the potential buyer doesnt really need these mods AND...if he gets the idea that maybe this car was raced and put thru its paces , regularly. Those are my thoughts. Me personally, i would find the mods somewhat appealing but would question how hard the car was driven. Hope this gives you some food for thought. Dave. |
