Lingenfelters are definitely fast, but i have doubts about the body kits...Ferrari 550 lights are a no no, front looks too flat, stock C5 side indicators are unfitting, rear lights look weird, and the rear bumper treatment looks rather amateurish, but then again Lingenfelters were always about speed rather than looks

That body kit was a form that followed function 100%.

yea i read that it was designed specificaly to provide stability at speeds over 200 mph where the regular vette was too aerodynamic.

Not a fan of the body kit or chroming in the engine bay. I prefer the one i saw looks stock but still a 427 TT :D

The downside of the Z06 body without aero aids is that it is not the ideal high speed (200mph+) platform.

That's the reason the C5R is not the FRC, but rather the coupe shape.

But I like the FRC shape better as well.

Unless that body has is aerodynamicly better then the c5 its rice. But from what you guys say it has its function.


Anyway thats one babby I'd kill for to have in my garage.

Can you realize the struggle you have to go through to get it to grip :twisted: ohhh just the thought makes me wanna.............

I want one. I want a car with 1000BHP that is impossible to drive...the ultimate challenge! Tottaly my type of thing......





Edit- I got a bit excited there :oops:

the nice part about the blue 427 is that it just looks like a normal z06 with some black rims. that supra that wants to fuck with this thing on the highway will be in for a bit of a treat. :D

lol thats evil. A BPU supra will be annhilated, and there's a lot of those running around.

I'm not a huge fan of that body kit. Although i does look very clean. I don't like the front very much, although the exhaust looks cool.

Not very fond of the front but you can't go wrong with a 427 TT. And that chrome makes it look really good in the engine bay.
