Lingenfelter Vette

[HyPer50]

Well... Can the Kills forum go for KILLED also? Anyways... I'm leaving Barrett pkwy a few weekends ago, get on I75 south heading back home when this vette runs up beside me, he gets on it once and goes flyin' by, so I catch back up to him and we slow to about 65, we both go and man.... this thing was so loud it was insane... ok, first off, I drive a 450+hp mustang with off road exhaust... it's not exactly quiet... Well when me and this Vette got on it, I heard NOTHING in my car except his, which made life suck for me since all I go by is listening to my exhaust.. I never look at the tach. This thing hauled so much ass it was crazy.. So we went a few more times, me just dropped into 4th and this just kept pulling away on me. Never got to try 3rd, but oh well. I'm a person who will admit when he has been beat (I never boast). Thus far, the cars that have spanked me:
SL55 AMG (with a prick driving it... nice car, but what an ass, one of those guys who just points his nose up when you get beside him..)
Some black 240sx that absolutely tore me up off the line... after about 40 I was keeping pace with him, but he had already jumped about 2 car lengths a head of me... this was prior to my vortech install)
And then the black lingenfelter vette....killed me.

what year was the car? It would take a pretty serious car to beat yours with 450 rwhp unless your blower belt came off.

Heh... I don't think you know what a Lingenfelter Corvette is... lol.


And you sure it was a real lingenfelter? You know how rare those are? =]

I do know what a lingenfelter is....the older C4 versions were not that fast though....thats why i was asking what year it was.

my thoughts exactly.

i would bet a "stock" or near stock 02-04 z06 would beat on his 450 whp mustang.

really..i'd like to take you up on this bet. A stock zo6 traps what 113 mph or so....a fox mustang making 450 rwhp will do 119-120 mph. My old mustang with 450 rwhp ran 11.3@123. Stock zo6s will not run that....heads/cam/headered ones yes not stock.

where is the car?

i will take you up on that bet.


what are you betting?

Well, you'd be wrong. I've beaten several c5 z06's. Now the 06 Z06 is going to be awhole nother fish.. Dont think I'd stand a chance against those. As for what year the car that beat me was, it looked to be a 00+ not sure exactly what year it was, but no doubt in my mind that it was a lingenfelter. I've seen several videos of them and this thing sounded identical to one of them. No badges were on it or if they were I couldn't see em, but this thing hauled like a raped ape.

the new lingenfeller vette is pretty insane. I forget exactly what it puts out... but it's definetely over 500 hp. Are we talking c6?

the new c6 package is rated at 530bhp, the c5's were the best years with the top package putting out around 725bhp...but the c6's are still new, just give them some time and their packages will be right up there with the c5's

[LS2ner]

the c5's were insane and i think the c4's still made over 5 or 600.

[CSquared]

Well there was another c6 i read about in car and driver or one of those other new car magazines my dad gets(40 yr old guy experiencing his midlife crisis)... its supposed to compete with if not beat the viper. I'll see if i can find the article and post up the numbers. the motor was something like 7.5 liters.

I have to say though i still dont like the non-popup headlights on the c6... Just cant get into them.. theyre way too viper-esk...

[bigb996]

if the lingenfelter is the vette im thinking of wasnt it TT? I am pretty possitive htat was the vette they offered the turbos on for like 20k upgrade package. And it put out an ungodly amount of power. I saw one go at an auction and they said there are only around 6 or so in the whole US.

[Sport1.3]

motor trend did a special on the c5 lingenfelter. it was TT and had a electronic boost controller set for different power levels and the highest being around 900hp...they did a 1/4 test against a F-18 Hornet and the Vette won..haha.. i think it ran somewhere in the low 10's high 9's

[lemansz]

how did you know it was "LINGENFELTER"??

why not just some "black or dark blue vette"

i DOUBT it woudl take TWIN TURBO c5 to outrun you, IF you were outrun by stock sl55 amg.

the amg car is NOT that fast.

your basic, 01-04 z06 with a cam, exhaust and a tune, would pull you just liek you describe.

[KINGLEH]

uh oh.

[gsujeff55]

450hp foxbody...psh

[lemansz]

450hp foxbody...psh

[eViLMunkey]

Oops ....

[speedminded]

Lingenfelter c5's are twin turbo and there are two packages...one is putting out like 550hp and the 2nd stage is 750. A few years ago had a stage 1 running at commerce back when i was running my bike every week, his best E.T. was the same as mine but a couple mph faster....11.2 @125 or so on the stock goodyears. He lived in SC and "claimed" he set is cruise at 80 on the way down I-85 and averaged 30mpg.

[lemansz]

I'm not quite sure why your talking shit about my car, I haven't done anything to you. I was just posting that I got killed and now your talkin' shit. Guess it's another one of those online cock size wars. Don't care what you think about my car, I expect some shit seeing as how this is an import forum, but that doesn't bother me. Guess some people just insist on talking shit, I've never talked shit about anybodys car, i find it very cocky and disrespectful. But hey, if thats the way you are, keep on truckin'.

dude youe piping up about 2 weeks too late.

i been callin u out for at least 10 days...

why in the world woudl that car have to be a LINGENFELTER" CAR?

dude, any C5 with exhaust anf a cam, and a tne will do you like that.

it doesnt have to have a supercharger or twin turbos.

it just amazes me that some corvette with no badging blows by you, one night, and you automatically think its a lingenfelter..

thats just hilarious.



you say its 2000 or newer.. what makes you think that?

there is NO difference between 1997-2004 coupes. They are all the same.

was it a coupe? or a hardtop car?

if you dotn even know the difference.. then again, how can you spot a lingenfelter car..?? at 100+ mph no less!



i dotn believe that you can beat my stock z06.

so les race!


settle this liek men!

on the street!

Because I actually talked to the guy. This happened more than a month ago. I ran into him again. I talked to the guy, it was 2002 lingenfelter tt, stage 2. I didn't ask him for all the specifics because I just caught him filling up at BP, but supposedly it has around 650rwhp. Settle this like a man? WTF are you talking about? I don't remember ever having a problem with you, so there is nothing to settle. If you are so desperate to look like a bad ass, go ahead and hang out with the ricers, I'm sure they'd love to race you. Meanwhile, I don't waste my time arguing with or racing with scum like you. Don't care if you have a fast car or not, I dont come online to pick fights or races. So keep jerkin' off to your internet ego all you want, I'm done with you.
