lingenfelter corevvets are really fast, but those numbers sound pretty rediculous. i know that the callaway sledgehammer hit 256 in the 80's, tho

[tyhel]

It is true. Look in the new motor trend Magazine (June) and there will be a camparo called " Vette vs. Jet" and the vette is faster and those stats are correct.

0-60: 1.97 sec

Jeeeeeze. That is smokin. Hell I didn't think motorcycles can accelerate that fast.

[Chris]

This corvette used streat legal slicks, but even then it had a lot of wheelspin and fishtailing. It is a pretty amazing car.

And it could accelerate even faster, if it had Lingenfelters optional body kit, which included 2 inch wider rear wheels, which would mean more grip and faster acceleration.
And it is faster than pretty much any motorcycle, only a few with profesional riders might come close in a straight line, but around corners, the vette would 'wup em'

Today is a good day for Vette lovers

I wanna know how reliable that engine is. I mean sure you can mod the hell out of a motor and get huge horsepower gains, but reliability is crucial. It doesn't matter how fast you are when you are rebuilding the motor every 10,000 miles. :smoker2:

[Chris]

I think it has 15psi, and with the quality that comes with Lingenfelter, I would assume the engine to be near-bulletproof, kinda like RennTECH's.

Check this out.... V-6?????

[327belair]

i think the v6 thing is a misprint, lingenfelter would never take the v8 out and replace it with a 6

[Pikachoo]

Yea you're right. I should have been clued in when it says it has a 7.0 litre v-6.

Someone there pointed out the error under the comments.

Is this the Corvette that was on Motor Trend TV? If it is, it's awesome. Unfortunately, I only caught the end of the segment, so I didn't catch the specs. I do remember seeing that it ran 9's in the 1/4, but I don't remember hearing what it's top speed was. Either way, it's awesome! But then, all Corvettes are.

[Chris]

Yes, it was on TV. Top speed is estimated at 240+mph

The way LPE builds those cars, and offers a 2/24 warranty with it (unless you get the adjustable boost option, which voids it), just gives you an idea of how reliable that they are. He builds rockets! Granted, his prices are high, but he doesn't seem to have trouble moving his product. If you doubt how quick LPE 427TT is, check out this link:

I saw that motor trend tv episode... the numbers are correct.

And the fact that they sell one that is FASTER... no replacement for displacement.

Anyone got a spare lingenfelter vette hanging around?
