O.K. i live in a verrrry small town in tennessee where the only thing to do is go hang out at wal-mart or do drugs. and since i like neither i'm always bored here. anyway me and a friend are riding around bored as shit then out of nowhere this corvette comes around the corner with a widebody kit and a liscense plate that reads "rarevet" and also on the back bumper a sticker that read lingenfelter twin turb 427!!!!!!!!!!! as i pick up my jaw from the floor i tell my friend to get up beside him to see if he'll rev it. no such luck so he turned off pretty soon after that so i was like this is a rare car we gotta talk to the guy, so we follow. he parks and we ask him to rev it up and he smiled and revved the shit out of it. V8 growl mixed with a BOV is the sexiest sound ever!! we get to talk to the guy for like 15 minutes or so then he just asks us if we want to ride. hell yes we wanna ride. this car is amazing. it's the only widebody 427 twin turbo lingenfelter ever built and the body is designed to stay stable at 200+ MPH. 0-60 in around 2 sec. and 0-120 in 6. by far the most amazing car i've ever riden in. the greatest part of the night is when the dude said "if anyone is going slow in front of me this happens.." and proceeds to flip a switch that makes his light flash like a cop car. here is a link to the car when it was in corvette magazine, i'm still in shock!!! http://www.corvettemagazine.com/2002/august/widebody/excess-1.asp

x2 I would absolutely love to ride in one of those. I've wanted a vette forever and was amazed the first time I read about lingenfelter vettes

Saw a guy at the local walmart a while back who had a handful of people around his c5 and I could see gauges on the a-pillar. I wanted to check it out but decided against it b/c of the people already there. Now I wish I did, b/c I woulda creamed myself if it was boosted.

one word... TITS...

I hate you on a new level... John Lingenfelter is a Car God, rest his soul. I can only wish to someday get my name into the same league as his in the car industry someday.

Those cars are beyond badass

So you see this car, drive beside it, bs with the guy, then even ride in it...and no videos or pics to boot :thumbsdown

fun isnt it? i got to ride on 2 of them (both owned by the same guy) one of them was on the cover of motor trend about 3 or so years ago. both were TT. and the turbo's were mounted down right near the footwells so you can not only hear but kinda feel them spooling up. it was awesome!

i got pics and video but there on my phone. my friend got a video on an actuall video camera but has no way of putting it on the net. i got the vid on picture place on verizon but i'm not sure how to post it??

A guy that lives a town over from me has a 1000HP Lingenfelter. I have never rode in it. Only heard it start up. You know when your sleeping and its all peaceful and quiet, and someone comes in the room and screams as loud as they can while blowing an airhorn.. that was what my face looked like when he fired her up. shit my pants.

Sweet. Must have caught him on a good day, then. You can only imagine how often he gets chased down by car guys wanting to talk all about that thing...

make a new picture message and send the photo to drkain@gmail.com

I will post it up.
