I was reading this month’s issue of Road & Track and noticed they had a test on the Commemorative Edition Lingenfelter Corvette. This car features a hand built C5R based 427 CID Gen II twin turbo engine cranking out over 600 HP at the rear wheels on 93 octane-unleaded fuel. Enough power to do 136MPH in the quarter mile and light up the rear tires when cruising on the freeway at 70MPH.
Each car gets a custom Caravaggio Conolly leather interior, Lingenfelter C6 body kit, massive 345 series Michelin Sport tires on 19â€x12†rear HRE forged three piece aluminum wheels, Brembo brakes, serial numbered badges and side emblems.
Complete cars start at under $140,000.00. Only 25 cars will be built and serial numbers can be reserved now. Seeing as serial #1 has been bashed around by Road & Track, I think I will take No. 25. Assuming Sarah doesn’t kill me.
