This thing defies physics, and defines friction at the same time.

Here's a vid of a very similar Vette from the LPE site. Anything running a 9 @ 150ish is way cool with me.

I gotta stand up for Corvettes, I've always thought C3's, C5's, and now the new C6's are ****ing hot I mean how can you not like this...



Of course that one's too low to actually drive around town (at least around here), but...

Back on topic, Lingenfelter Corvettes are amazing. I hope they continue on and make a TT C6 too. Ligenfelter himself died recently from a racing accident, may he rest in peace.

The one in that vid I posted was a 6M. Thats what makes it even more impressive. Trying to launch a car like that has to be a chore. If all I wanted was to run #'s, I'd have an auto as well.

+1

the C5 and the upcoming C6's are sexy as hell and have tons of performance for the price. If I was shopping in the $40k-$50k range this would be a serious contender.
