Update - the car actually has 4.10 gears

The salt finally is off the roads here in western NY and I took the car to work two days this week (80 mile round trip). The car runs flawlessly. This was the first time I was really able to take it on the highway for some distance other than when I test drove it last summer quickly. It didn't take long to see that the speedometer was off by a few miles per hour at highway speed. My initial thought was that the car might actually have 3.73 gears. I was able to get the car in the air today and checked for myself. 4.10 driveshaft revolutions per one tire revolution. That was a nice surprise! The gears make no noise. Very nice install. The LTPWS light is on now. I have 4 sensors that I will/can include with the vehicle purchase. I bought the tires/wheels already mounted so I'm not sure if there are sensors in them. The light didn't come on until I drove more than 30 miles consecutively. Now I wonder if the speedometer has been off since the engine work was done at Auto Masters. If so, the car probably only has 75k miles in reality

Hib - Thank you for the words! One of the Corvette magazines I have from the 90's with my car in it was written by you (at Auto Masters). And yes, I agree: The color of this car is amazing. I think that it might actually be my favorite C4 color now. It really "pops" in the sun.

BTW - how many miles did your car have on it when you sold it? I remember seeing it for sale a year or two ago and thought it might have been around 90k miles. I appreciate the price reference that you sold yours for.
