I know as much as its worked on by Lingenfelter by what the video says, but I couldn't find anything on it. This thing is fast as shit, its nuts.

If I'm not mistaken, I remember reading about those Lingenfelter 'Vette's. I don't know if it's the same mods, but the video shows that it may be.

The Lingenfelter 'Vette I read about had twin-turbos and was capable of running 9's with slicks and tens on street-tires. It's top-speed was about 225MPH. Don't remember the power figures, but I'm pretty sure it's sick.

Let's just say that Eclipse never even had a shadow of a chance...

I was surprised that the eclipse held so well at the start.

Very cool video!

It didn't hurt that his countdown sped up and he jumped "3" by a fraction of a second. I wonder if this is the lingenfelter model that raced the F/A-18 through the quarter mile...

The car that beat the F18 and ran the 9 second time(on slicks, ty motor trend :rolleyes: ) was a twin turbo 7 liter LS1 powered C5 Corvette...

$50K engine build BTW... http://www.lingenfelter.com/pac725ttls1y.asp

I'm not familiar with the Z51R, as Lingenfelter doesn't designate cars like that... It's either a 427 LS1 or a twin turbo LS1...

Yes that is the twin turbo LS1, I remember the first post of this by the camera guy on one of the other message boards I frequent. I believe that the GS had been tuned to about 325hp or so.

It was a long time ago thought that this was posted.

I don't even have to watch this one, and I know what you're talking about. It's a red C-5 with chrome Z06 wheels. Even thouh it says something about a low 13 sec DSM vs Lingenfelter vette, it is in fact a Doug Rippie vette. The car in question has heads, cam, nitrous(though he did'nt spray. There was a large debate about this video on two other forums monrhs ago. Besides, the vette is waaay to loud to be turboed.

actually.. the vette in the video is yellow... and it has a Z51R badge on the side... can you post the video of which you speak of though?

Last time I had a check-up (a few months ago), they told me I still wasn't color-blind...DeViL's vid had a red Corvette in it.

BTW, I have seen this vid from three different computers.

LT1-Z is right...its a DRM (Doug Rippie Motorsports) C5. The guy that owns it said that he did spray though when they lined up the second time...thats why he had such a crappy start. I believe its putting down close to 430rwhp without the N20.

That 427-TT you guys are talking about just ran an 8.95 @ 154mph last week. This is with ET streets...not even full-on drag slicks;)

Well it needs to get on fucking big slicks and run better times damn it. LoL....I wish my firebird did 8's....eh not really thats not even driveable.

Yeah...dude Ninja that fucking sucks get your eyes checked or something. The thing was red, it did have yellow colored writing like in the rear where it says C O R V E T T E.

FatNinja what color is this Smily?:flash:

Sure it's driveable. You get an indash boost controller, and set the boost to 5 psi for daily driving. When you want to run, set it back up to 20 psi.

If I remember right...Lingenfelter doesn't make a Z51R...They make the Z51, twin turbo, all that good stuff. And people add the "R" on their own because of some upgrade package they buy. Really has nothing to do with Lingenfelter though. I think that's the story anyways. Either way, like the other guy said, that's not a Lingenfelter in that video, just some old time RICER badging his car incorrectly!!!!:D :flipa: haha, but then again, if you're car is that fast and looks that good, you can badge it as a 2009 F16 Swingwing Tomcat and no one will say a damn thing to you about it:D

I was about to say repost, and then I saw the date. You're new here dsm3dracer, so check out the rule at the top and please don't drag up a thread more than three months old. That way I don't have to waste my time closing it.
