Default LPE 427 TT Z06

This is what i call 'American Muscle', yes the stock Z06 is nice but this is just :shock:

It is a Lingenfelter 427CID Twin Turbo, and if i recall correctly it is the same kind of upgraded Vette used by Motor Trend to race an F/A 18, and according to LPE's website it has 725BHP and 650 lbs-ft Torque

the goods


Gotta love that plate





Hope you all enjoy the pics; full size versions in the photogallery

you are almost correct 55
it is the same engine block, but with various specific tuned requirements

the Vette in motor trend which hit 60mph in 1.97 seconds was pushing 802 hp at the wheels.

the owner of that vette wanted the "fastest corvette ever" so thats what John Linginfelter providided, God rest his soul. i am unsure if LPE is going to make a faster variant until after the next Z series comes out in fall of 2006, or 2006.5

time will tell...

Very nice. I can't imagine having a TT small block with that much power. I bet it sounds amazing too. And I never thought I would like black rims on a Vette but I was wrong.

lol, I get into so much trouble with only 225hp... If I had that kind of power, in a matter of hours, id probably be dead or in jail. But it would so be worth it.
