Those mufflers weigh like 54 lbs or something ridiculous

The ZL1 that wore the Lingenfelter banner at the track had minimal modifications. The only underhood upgrades was the LPE was outfitted with were a supercharger pulley to bump up the boost, reflashed ECM, 160-degree thermostat and a LPE ported and polished airintake leading to a K&N air filter. The only other modifications to the car were swapping out the street performance tires for skinnies up front and Nitto NT05R drag radials out back..

EDIT Just seen it made 652whp that is over 100whp what they made with it stock.
I acknowledged it wasn't stock. However, I'd be OK with those gains for the mods

Looking at that thread they ran t he low 11 in. They said made 652whp. Yet there kit for 700whp only made 632 and includes cam. So something don't add up. Plus its Package price – $11,245.00. Did I miss something?

Not really impressed with the lingenfelter ZL1. That is alot of mods to barely break 10's. Although they say the d/a wasn't very good and those nt05r's are the same tire I have on my car and they aren't that great. I would much rather buy a c6 z06 vette and do bolt-on to run 10's for the money of the ZL1

I know my honda just rolled over 150k and those windows have barely been going up and down the last 10-20k lol

Same thing for another M6 guy we know around Des Moines area. I'll give it some time and see what happens with them. Each car has their flaws. It is all relative.

If it came down to a new F-150 or Silverado today, I'd likely rock the F150. The crew cabs are amazing with space.

I wouldn't imagine the drag setting to help out a whole lot with street tires.

Like I said though, if there is a buddy in NE Iowa cranking out low 12's @ 119mph in a bone stock auto CTS-V, I don't see any reason why the new ZL1 couldn't match or better this time.

I never had too many problems with mine when I had it for 3 years. I had to replace one window motor, but that was a $40 fix and I think apart of that may be from previous owner failing to do it correctly and getting the window out of track. Idiots

Haha, wish Fbomb rear ends were stout from the factory. Ohh well, as much as I deny it, something about the "raw" feeling of an Fbomb will probably bring me back into one. 01-02 black WS6 of course.

The autos don't really experience that problem, but yeah...i hear you about the 10 bolts and that "looking over your shoulder for impending doom feeling"...

If you're referring to Irunelevens as targeting you like you say Redfire did, don't flatter yourself someone pitching their 2 cents in on here is sort of asked for, being a public forum 'n all

I won't say i've never had drunk people screw with me in bars, hell I use to be a bouncer in a few clubs on Bourbon street. Must of if was just jibber jabber but the ones that wouldn't give up normally got a taste of the side walk!!
