any truth to this?


Doubt it. The Lingenfelter Vette is a modified production car with twin turbos. I doubt that any car would do that let alone one which derives much of its power from a turbo. Powers curves, backpressure, etc.

What I have read says it is a 3.8 second car 0-60 which is still freaking fast. I have not seen anything that put it any faster. Maybe someone else knows something different.

I think it's quite hard to find original usa parts in his dragster, most of the parts are being made in europe or asia. Comes way much cheaper. But those parts are the weakest link in his gorgeous american muscle.


further proving your ignorance within domestics, it may be different where you guys live but around here we drive fast cars because handling doesnt mean a fucking thing when 95% of your roads are straight
[/reply]

a) that must be really boring for you!!!

b)99.9% of rest of the world have roads with corners.

c) all these cars are essentially road going track cars and tracks tend to have corner.

d)calling these cars euro trash is not only highly inaccurate but and offensive and make you look like a cliched american red neck.
[/reply]

no i find it very enjoyable mocking and blowing away all these rice burners around my town, i already stated where i live does not consist of any turns except for intersections or roads obviously, and yes im sorry i said eurotrash as it makes me a hypocrite when i call you guys ignorant about domestics

and just remember who started the direct name calling towards others, 'red neck'
[/reply]

there's a big difference between saying what you've said makes you look like a red neck and actually calling you a red neck.
you really should stop trying to piss people off and being such an 'internet warrior'

Easily. And turbocharged NSX's and other cool rigs too.

My friend has 300bhp Opel Manta, which goes 1/4 like a rocket. And yes, the engine is naturally aspired 2.0 liter, Opel Power.

I went to a track day not so long back where they we're racing quarter miles. They had several Evo's easily breaking the 4 secs to 60mph and a TVR Cerbera right on the 3 sec mark.

list seems to be from the past decade, I noticed that the 1964 shelby cobra (0-60 in 4.8) was not listed

No, it's a car. Vehicle, automobile, whatever you bloody brits want to express it.

I think you are right. There was another list of "classics" that some different types of vehicles listed.
