nice cars and all but i really don't like that body style i like the next 97-04's and everyone likes the brand new 1's

 

Those are some bad @$$ vettes

 

Are they Lingenfelter corvettes?

 

One of my guys who helps out on my car has a 99 C5. He just put in a F-1C Procharger, He did over 700 HP at the wheels. I can't remember exact number, I wanna say 740, but IDK. He started it up for me, the thing whistles like NO OTHER. The car visually is bone stock except he's got factory 18x11 rims on rear. Also stock exhaust except headers.

EDIT: They're hoping to hit high 9's and I think it's possible.

 

but these arnt charged at all....

 

Good point, I guess I'm so used to stangs that when numbers are that high they almost HAVE to be supercharged. haha! still, corvettes are sweet IMO

 

This man is a God in the automotive world!

 

no he modded them himself, with his team

 

 

dude....ANY corvette engine putting out over 600 hp to the WHEELS, has to be forced induction, otherwise the hp claim isnt true. Even ferrari engines reach a peak amount of hp they can reach by being non-turbo non-s/c. the ferrari enzo...super high compression...650 hp to the CRANK..which equals rwhp in the 500's. So if this engine is running over 600 to the wheels, the 0-60 time(with slicks, of course) should be well into the 2's, not 3.2. There's only so much hp you can compress naturally out of an engine til you need to resort to turbo or s/c.

And even if you COULD squeeze over 600rwhp into a street car, there is NOOOOOO way it'd stay street legal.

just my $0.02

 

A 59 year old guy here just got I beleive 3 1/2 yaers in jail because of his 500 h/p. corvette Him and another corvette took of from green light at an intersection , he lost control spun around ,jumped the curb and killed a woman on the sidewalk. I think sometimes h/p can be to much for the street and some people

 

damn, that really sucks..

 

yeah it might be crank ill try to ask him

and he is an older gentleman who doenst race them on public roads, he drives them everyonce and a while very responsibly

 

it could also be a rebuilt engine...there are plenty of crate engines out there with 500 + ...

 

Was. RIP John. those corvettes are sick though. Anything that makes over 600 without a hairdryer is kicking some ***.

 

thats why its under lounge
same place where people post bout girls and chuck norris......
i rest my case your honor

 

completely possible...but just like the lingenfelter vette engine isnt even a corvette engine, if that zr-1 got so modified that it put over 600 to the wheels, I don't think you could even call it a zr1 or even a corvette engine for that matter. Still awesome, I give mad props, but with the money he probably put into it to give it that hp, you could make ANY car powerful

 

yeah
and hes got 2 lol

 

SPeaking of fast cars, a guy here at work has a 57 Bel Air that is putting 524hp/575tq at the wheels with no forced induction or bottle. He completly blueprinted the engine himself. It's a 406 block, and the people who actually built the engine actually sell it now as a crate moror! lol, I told him to send me some pics of the car. He's never ran a 1/4 with it, just shows it (and usually wins)

 

my neighbor has a 57 bel air that he totaly restored. looks exactly like the origial.
no power sterring or power breaks and of course no ac!!!
only thing that makes it modern is he put in a cd player, but its not visible so he listens to oldies cds while crusing. ill post pics some time. it is fun to ride in
