Re: LPE 427TT goes 8.95@153.6 with a 1.40 If you guys do a top speed test, test it's track capabilities and log some real world street data, this car could more then likely qualify as being the single greatest/coolest performance car in the world... ever.
Would be neat to see it go up against a C5R on a road course, or perhaps even compete in a LeMans race to mock all the billion dollar backed race teams. LPE at the 24 hours of LeMans... I can already see you guys in the winner's circle. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: LPE 427TT goes 8.95@153.6 with a 1.40 Hey guys, Ed is out of the office for the rest of the week (he's at the PRI show). But here's the video you were all looking for:

It's the very top one. You will need QuickTime player to see it. Unfortunately it is kinda hard to see the scoreboard, but if you look at it frame-by-frame, you can see the time.

Yes, it is a C5R block.

Re: LPE 427TT goes 8.95@153.6 with a 1.40 Dang... That is an impressive corvette. I remember reading the article about the 2000 Lingenfelter TT vette what had a top speed of 226mph and 650hp i believe. Very impressive car indeed. I would trade my 1970 Chevelle and 1975 El Camino for either one of those vettes in a heart beat, and all my engnine blocks, heads and other parts. LOL
I have been craving a car to handle winding turns at high speeds latly, its really crazy too, i cant get to bed because of it lol. I Have been thinking about the King Snake, the Lingenfelter vettes, the GT40, McLaren F1 and many others, lol.. Mainly the TT Vette and the GT40. Any suggestions how i can get some sleep back? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
Anyways, awesome cars, cant wait to see more news <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
OH! And whats cooler is that the 2000 Lingenfelter TTvette with 650hp is 16mph faster then the $250,000 dollar Lamborghini Diablo's. I think the TT with 650hp was pushing 9psi of boost from what i can remember from the article i read.
Take care everyone <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
