LBC,

You are almost right - it would be non-tech if someone didn't ask just what they did to modify the car. So, what did they show about the mods?

Considering that the 'Y' car is a bit heavier than a typical ThirdGen, all that power could be put to good use between the fenders of my TA.

Incidentally, John does have a way with the SBC, so I'm not surprised that the LS1 engine was not much of a challenge for him.

Still, that's pretty cool. That's faster than most private airplanes, any NASCAR vehicle, and almost as fast as Lingenfelter's stock-bodied '91 Formula...well, not quite (301MPH on one pass, 298MPH official for both runs in opposite directions).

Branz,

I don't think that one was available with a brown interior. You're stuck with the black or gray unless you want to do some of your own "customizing".

If you think you would be scared, what do you think the Ferarri driver in the 2,200 pound pasta-car would feel like if he saw a 3,600 lb. Sledgehammer bearing down on him faster than he could get out of the way? If you are a little tired of eating little horses, snakes, ricecakes, and sukiyaki, maybe you should go out for some Italian cuisine...

LottaBalls,
Not to burst your bubble, and certainly not taking away from the remarkable achievments of this awesome Vette, but the present record for a street-legal standard production car is 240.3 mph, reached by a McLaren F1 driven by Andy Wallace at the Volkswagen Proving Grounds in Wolfsburg, Germany, on March 31, 1998.

While they are good to look at for the same amount of money I'll take a '65 vette, a '95 Z-R1, and a '01 Vert, With a substantial amount left.
Still looking for the p ussy. Use SOME of left over money and get yourself a hooker.

Yeah, I think he'll care when his million dollar, hand-built, super exotic car gets its *** handed to it by a 'Chevy'.

This seems fun!
I plan on keeping my '87 (GTA?)

No dallas thats not the case. Im sure my chick would put any girl you could pay for to shame. The vette we are talking about cost 105 g's. Its faster than hell, but will never be a ferrari. After driving around the beach in a friends 89 328gts, I know the attention a ferrari gets. You im sure will never have this opportunity. A ferrari is not a honda , dont slam on it like it is. And believe me shallow girls that will give it up for the car you drive are great for a 1 time deal.

If u guys need a million dollar car to get a girl than i feel sorry for u. Getting a car is not to improve your popularity with the females its for yourself. The mclaren f1 costs 1 million and only 2 were made. My opinion, not worth it considering its using a BMW v-12 engine and costs about $1,000 to do a tune up on the f-1. The vette however is more practical using boost instead of higher cubic inches such as the f-1. It seems u guys are leaning towards the imports considering the fact u like the f-1. A true chevy enthusiasts will stick with a chevy no matter what the cause. That may seem lame but ill be a chevy man till the day i die.

I wonder what would happen if you put the McLaren F1 up against the Lingenfelter vette on a road coarse....say the Nurburgring?? Don't kid yourselves, the McLaren is a full bodied Formula 1 car.....not a street car. I am a "amercian muscle" car fan too, but the F1 is simply an awesome highly engineered car.

you guys crack me up. You must all be 15 years old and just got the keys to daddys old fbody. An fbody over a ferrari or lamborghini? please... lol. It's not only performance you take into consideration (you typical hillbillies). It's hand built,utiziles 5.7 liters a hell of a lot better than a Chevy, and looks a lot better. I know it's hard to accept you guys will never make more than $15k a year working 500 hours a week at the Uni-Mart. Maybe you can break into the 14s then

I love my car, but if I could get my hands on an exotic (lambo,ferrari,lotus) I wouldn't think twice. Some 3rd gens are nice, but they're freaking cookie cutters.

By the way ,if I had a problem with the women, I sure would not be driving an Fbody thats for sure. Especially the reputation 3rd gens have. Hey DallasIroc I am shallow by the way

Beautifully said.

These guys were probably raised by Bubba who hates all imports. What ashame, idiots like dallasiroc is what gives fbody owners a bad name

That's a lot of talking for a guy that parks cars for a living

Not only does the Mclaren cost a 1,000 to do a tuneup on, the engine isnt designed to last more then a few thousand miles. the linginfelter can be daily driven without ****ting your pants as long as you stay out of the boost. I'd only take a mclaren if it was given to me, then I'd sell it and buy an awesome 3rd gen. I'd make sure to buy one with a ****ty body so when I blow buy that old rich guy with his little golddigger, he'd **** his pants.

oh oh... all this hatred. lets be lovers, not haters ok.. maby not lovers really, but you get the point. what whoever it was said i think is true about ferrari's. it doesnt matter if a new Z-06 will beat a 355 (model) Ferrari, it just isnt the same. it doesnt rev to 8k rpms and just sound so.. mmmm. i personally think a ferrari is the sexiest car in the world, period. now, will i ever own one? no. drive one? im thinking not. i do have an extreme,hmm, alliegance maby, to chevy's, but if i had to pick btw a new yellow ferrari and a camaro of my choice, im sorry, but you can just hand those pretty italian keys right over. Ferrari is sex on wheels. Ferrari redefines beautiful. It has charisma like nobodies business. In a ferrari(dont konw from personal experience, as stated before), you are absolutely the king of the road, i dont care of johhnie b coolGuy in his big block chevelle can beat you in the 1/8. the ferrari is so drop dead georgeous it wins just sitting there..hmm, ok well now im gonna start scaring some people if i go on, just keep in mind its all personal preference, and go easy on the flames (theformula )

The topic is kinda pointless because it all comes down to opinion. Bitching about it to each other wont change anyones mind. Personally, I would take the vette for the sole fact that it is the fastest street car, and it's a chevy to boot. I really like chevys though. i don't diss imports, unless they are rice(loaded with stickers of parts they dont have. I like all cars, but I still am a chevy guy, and will be that way all my life.

Sure, it would be cool to have an f-1... although it would be even sweeter to line up and kick his *** with a vette. Face it guys, shallow girls will go after any nice car, even the old pimpin' wagons. So long as you do a car up right it doesn't matter. I don't know of a single girl aside from the car type that even know what a McLaren F1 is.

No point in fighting over opinions... just state yours and don't push it on anyone.

Is it non-tech now? Can't we all just get along? It's all about personal preference. Me personally, i'd take the 'vette in a "heartbeat" over a Ferrari. That's just my preference. Everyone needs to just chill.

O.K. I'm a big GM fan to but faced with the decision between a vette or italin supercar isn't even a thought! I would take a ferrari or lambo over a vette any day! There is nothing that compares to the sound, look, or feel of a ferrari. And yes I've rode in a '88 328GTS at our cruzing area in a park in Paducah,Ky back in '89 everyones face was on the ground and I could here them talking before we even got there. We have alot of late model vette's and probably 5 Vipers but no Ferrari's or Lambo's. Every once in a great while I'll see one pass through as this guy did and there is NO COMPARISON! Tell me you'd be able to pick up chicks quicker in a Vette than one of these! Your a** is on CRACK!

Dude, you obviously don't have that good of a job other wise you wouldnt drive a 3rd gen. By the way your talking thats what your saying.

Oh yeah, you shouldnt be proud that you drive a garbage truck for the state.

where do you get your information? Second hand newspapers? Those 2 cars will never be driven then a few miles a year, so yeah, I would contend that they arent incredibly reliable. The point of those numbers was to show that a one million dollar car is a waste of money. Give Lingenfelter a million to spend on a Vette and see what happens, Hell, give me a million to spend on a Vette! I'm sorry if you feel that you have to put some one down for your own lack of testicular fortitude. If I actually could have any car in the world, I'd buy a Z06.

Given the average punk tends to buy a 3rd gen and make it to embarassing to be caught in. I would take a third gen over many other cars,including fourth gens. The only thing a fourth gen has on the third is the LS-1. But, hey some thirds have those now. Anyway point being I got a good job and drive a third gen and always will.

Of course, this is just more opinion...


Is the Mclaren f1 overpriced? Why yes I think so... If I could ever seriously consider buying one, would I care about overpricing? Why no I think not.

A car is more than it's top speed. There's the stability of the car at that speed, there's the cornering issues (although I can't imagine anybody cornering at 200+ miles per hour), etc. The McLaren was build with all of these in mind, it was engineered to go that fast.

The corvette, however, was not. And no matter how many mods you do to it, it still was not intended to go that fast.

Hell, I could put an engine in my IROC and get it going that fast if I had the knowhow. And I could probably do it for a hell of a lot less than Li umm.. oh screw it I can't spell his name.

Point being, if money was no issue, I'd by the Mclaren simply because it was built better to begin with.

Plus it comes fully loaded with a/c, bose stereo system, etc. hehe

just a thought...If i had the ability to charge people 1 mil for a car, I could probably accomplish the same feats as Mclaren or any other exotic. Come to think of it so could Homer Simpson.

One more thought on the F1... doesn't it only have one seat in the middle of the car? That would make having a passenger rather diff...

l8r,
Jay

It wouldn't look that great with a trailer behind it... hehe j/k

They are both sweet cars, but the vette has my vote.

L8r

Actually, I think the F1 has three seats with the driver in the middle. I remember seeing an article in Car and Driver or Motor Trend. They specifically mentioned the three seats. If money were no object I personally would grab a first, second and third gen Camaro, a nice '70 Chevelle SS 454, an '87 Monte Carlo SS and a Grand National. I'm just not into exotics and could probably have one of each with 100K.

as for the F1 vs. Lingefelter. The F1 is an amazing engineering feat, a car designed to be driven 10/10ths and not bitch about it. For a car designed to that standards, 1 million is not a lot to work with. Take into accout the HAND built part, the thousands of hours you have to pay the engineers(hopefully I'm a good enough engineer one day to do that), exotic materials to insure you don't end up killing someone at 230mph. and yeah.. $1000 tune up.. you must only be talking about the first 3 cylinders.. ONE muffler on the bitch is $33,000..

As for the Corvette holding a landspeed record, it is true, but ya'll have the wrong vette in mind. Let us look back to the 80-something Callaway twin turbo.. a sledghamer I do believe.. 251mph.. not "regular production", under another category.. I'll bring "evidence" one day. In all honesty, if I had the money to buy one of these INSANE cars, it would stand to reason that I could afford all of them... so stop the bitching.. I want a F1.. in silver please, a yellow Lingenfelter, a black Z06, 95 ZR1's in EVERY COLOR, and one of every Ferrari model from 1950 on, all in red... and those are just the 4 wheeled toys i'd buy. Ducati, MV Agusta, hell the whole new GSXR line... lol

Anthony

I'd beg to differ that you cant make a corvette stable at 200mph. The major problem with going that fast is that a car becomes a wing at that speed and wants to lift off the ground. If you lowered it, you would be able dispose of most of the trouble, you could take care of the rest with a front spoiler. I dont think that a hand built car is neccessairaly better. Cooler? yes! Better? I dont think any hand could recreate the same piece of metal 5,000 times within .1% of being perfect. But,if I could own a hand built corvette, I'd take it.

lmao . Actually I almost traded in my car last year for a 93 black supra tt in philly but after I got quoted with $250 insurance alone a month..i decided against it...that and deciding to move in with my girl or not. Now that i look back, I'm glad it didnt go through.Supras are fast, but very ugly. I'll be keeping my 3rd gen forever. I don't make a lot of money, but for a 21 year old it's not that bad. Enough for mods on my car every few months.
I would like to apologize for my rudeness though to everyone including lottsaballs and vortec305. It was uncalled for. Don't get me wrong, the Z06 is one bad motherfker....but the lambos and ferraris have always been a dream car since I was little.

Hope there are no hard feelings..I can be a ****
