nod nod, lingenfelter makes some of the fastest cars in the world. his twin turbo (stock engine, 700+hp) corvettes always win the horsepower challange everyyear.. .something like the last 4 years in a row...

Lingenfelter is the MAN... plain and simple. Anybody else see the video of one of his vettes racing an f-18 Hornet? It beat the jet 0-60 and in the standing 1/4... all while remaining emissions legal :o.

beating a f28 hornet to 60 doesnt mean too much, as i remember it was just a funny comparision, but i saw that clip. i believe it does something like low 9's and is street driven. pretty cool though. for the price(160,000) i would just but a modena and trick that out, and then i'd be a baller!!!!. just my thoughts

yeah, THAT specific one was 160k. go to www.lingenfelter.com

he will give your 'vette like 800 horsies in his 'production' (not custom, like the one in the vid) for less than 50k.

I beleive the entire package (vette + lingenfelter) comes to a few 1000 under 100k.

Not bad, considering it's well beyond a porche in every aspect for a price a few thousand less. I've seen new 911's go for $113k and they just can't be compared...

Vettes are the ultimate car! ;D

that's me driving a zo6 w/ 6mi on it. still had the plastic wrap on it. I'll never forget that day!

and the best thing on the lingenfelter kits is they come with a warranty for your car! ;D

So... What would a 92' DSM AWD with $100K invested into it do to a vette ??? Any vette ??? Out handle, out accel., out stop, and get better gas mileage..

Less put the fact that I hate vettes aside... For the money there are many better options..

Vette = mid-life chrisis or rich parents..

LS-1 gets much respect from me, but not the car that caused GM's greatest cars to be sacrificed so it could stay alive.. Buick Grand national, Syclone, and the camaro ( I don't blame GM for axeing the F-body, I know there reasons behind it. )

Both the syclone and Turbo regals DESTROIED the vette !! And with a few small mods the whipping gets even worse. The syclone out did the vette in everyway, so they killed it..

The 50th Aniv. vette is a joke, 50 years of making a "sports car" and the best they can do is put a damn sticker on the side and charge $8K more !!!

Z06 gets the most respect of any vette ( even though the viper is a better choice at that price level ), but it'll still be chasing my stealth till 165mph, when I "top out" b/c of drag...

165... you still runnin 9b's?

god huntchback you're living in a dream world, those lingenfelter corvettes are totally street legal, emissions legal, all stock except they do a little to the suspension and of course the twin turbos. if you modded out a eclipse like you said to be that fast, it wouldn't be street legal, or street drivable OR emissions legal.

IT WOULD BE AN IMPORT DRAGSTER NOT A STREET CAR

you're stuck on the 80s vettes which were all dogs, the new generation of corvettes are the ultimate driving machines, nothing can touch them

get a grip dude, corvettes WIN THE HORSEPOWER CHALLANGE EVERY YEAR. and that competition is for everything about the car. handling braking acceleration top speed, EVERYTHING. lingenfelter corvette wins every year.
