You might want to find out how much a factory-rebuilt tranny costs. Typically, they have all the latest updates and should be more reliable than a local shop rebuild.

I bought my first Corvette when I was 21, but I was working full time. I can't imagine being in school and owning a very-expensive-when-new sports car as a daily driver.

Good luck.

Dave
