I've never sat in an LPE but i've sat in a 530RWHP MTI422 vette, i can't imagine how it must feel with twin turbos added .

i can't tell you personally what it might feel like, but he is pulling about 1.43 g's of acceleration. that is a lot of g's just accelerating in a straight line.

His company does some awesome vette's that's for sure. It's a shame what happened to him. I haven't heard any news on his condition I assume he's still in a coma. :cry:

I wouldn't joke about such things.He had a bad accident last year.He made it through but the 1st surgery wasn't successful so they did a second and i believe he had a reaction or such and hasn't really come too since.
