Lingenfelter Performance Engineering does several different packages. I saw a video once of a Lingenfelter Vette from some TV show. They said that the owner asked LPE to build the fastest Vette they'd ever built, and what he got back was a stock-looking silver car with 800+ RWHP. It did the quarter in 8.95 seconds at 153 mph. According to this site it does 0-60 in 1.97 seconds. This was a C5 (2001), but it's a 427TT, similar (at least in displacement) to the Lingenfelter Z07 cars. I would guess that with the appropriate suspension and tires, the Lingenfelter Z07 cars should be in the low 2 second range for the most part, but I couldn't find any data to back that up.

Nomad,
The numbers on that site look wacky, I suspect they are wrong. J |

My friend seems to think this Vette can do a 0-60 in 1.7sec. I've seen between 1.7 & 3.5sec big disparity; help us resolve this. [/ QUOTE ] I don't think John Carmack's Testarossa (no I don't know if he still has it) could do that. I guarantee that monster had more horsepower than your buddy's Vette. ~D |

I don't get excited about quarter-miles or engines or [censored]. I would buy that car in a second. That just looks like it'd be a blast to drive. |

The video of the Atom from the UK TV series Top Gear is worth downloading if you can find it.
