Really cool part is, the 427 car is an automatic (with a Yank converter) and it is dead quiet going down the track.

You should see the trailer and pit crew that travels with that Lingenfelter C5! There is a ton of money behind the project, they took a lightweight hardtop C5 and converted it to an A4 (all hardtops are M6). Its definitely a sleeper, and as Patrick stated it is very quiet going down the track. Those turbos are all you hear!

Patrick, I hear that the C5 might have a TH350 in it. Any truth to that? If that is a 4L60E tranny, then who the hell built it?

Loco, that is definitely flying, but I gotta respect the awesome driving abilities of SW to launch/row a Corvette into the 9s. That car is slammed down as far as it can be and is far from being an optimized drag racing setup. Oh yeah, and his car is currently at MTI for more fun.

<img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> how far away from the 50k engine package for the 427tt is that? could they swap the irs in the back for a strange or something (solid axle i guess <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> ) and run even faster on a harder launch??

hennessey just got PUT TO SHAME <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

no forced induction <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Hennessey put himself in shame for the last several months after screwing many customers for many many many thousands of dollars. One guy lost over $120K with Hennessey! Read some of the threads over on corvetteforum for details.

The run was on a twin turbo. Nineball was saying that SW's new ride wouldn't be FI.

Tony,

The C5 still runs the 4L60E tranny. Lingenfelter uses Rossler Transmissions for his TT C5s. Very expensive, but holding together.

The converter is very similar to a Pro Yank 3400 Extreme (larger 258mm, Posi-lockup Kevlar clutch). That's some serious *** haulin'.
