My friend has that issue and I was reading it over last weekend. You need to look at the trap speeds, that is where the real indication of power is. With this much power/torque, 0-60 times are to these cars what 60' times are to regular road cars, which is to say, how well the car hooks. They did put some slicks on the lingenfelter and it completely snapped the differential.

 

VERY good issue no doubt. I was excited when I opened the mailbox.

YES... The Z06 is da SHIZ.... period. BUT... You guys did read teh part of just how violently the Ling Vette excellerates... no? That freaking car was smoking tires @ 125 mph in 3rd! That is simply insane. So obviously with crazy hp numbers comes crazy traction issues. I would STILL take the mighty Ford GT. And the simple upgrades it got (the cheapest of the bunch) yielded a astounding 660whp I believe.
That car in person and in motion is truly a sight to behold. But they all are keepers no question.

 

Very impressive!!
I'd like to take all those cars for a spin, those writers have the best job!!

 

when you have THAT MUCH power you need to race people from 0-180mph not 0-60. Even the 1/4-Mile is too short to see the real use of 1000+hp.

 

LOL, very true Ray.

 

"Hennesy Viper 1100hp 0-60 4.3 seconds 1/4 mile 12.0 @ 138.7 mph"

the car is getting almost 140mph trap speeds and you're dissing it?

how about 40mph roll on times? no one does 0-60mph in real world, and even then the awd turbo cars would kill....

 

Nice article. Did anyone notice the $225k pricetag of the lingenfelter?

 

Insane pricetag considering the stock zo6 can hit almost 200 mph quickly
