Thoughts on Lingenfelters

[WydGlydJim]

Owning and driving Lingenfelter cars is very enjoyable. I would say the only drawback is that outside of a relatively small group of enthusiasts, most people will have absolutely no idea what they are looking at, and do not have the automotive knowledge to process what you are telling them even if you try to explain it to them. Even Corvette enthusiasts will fall into this seemingly total ignorance. It can be frustrating sometimes. Sub 5 figure cars will routinely win at shows over Lingenfelter cars, due to ignorance, and of course the usual car show biases. That said, they can be a blast. John L. was an automotive genius. It still boggles my mind, that I can drive a car to an event across the country, achieve 23+ MPG in relative comfort, and throw down a near 10 second pass at the strip. Just own them for yourself, not for show or anyone else.

I go back and forth on this. LPE c4's aren't b2k cars, they're not factory cars, they don't have RPO's. Maybe they're going to go the way of the Yenko cars, maybe they're going to go the way of rampage cars. Either way they're never going to be NRCS cars which is where the money is

Couldn't agree more.

The other problem is the old lpe cars...aren't really that optimized. Times have changed, tech has moved on and now what we'd need a 368 for we can get out of a ported/polished car and keep the awesome liners

Yes... are you familiar with that car?

I'm seriously considering the sale of my white '91 and reached out to one person who is local but wasn't even considering selling the car until last week, so I've got some work to do in putting an ad together if I want to strike a deal quickly.

If it were not for this opportunity, I wouldn't even consider selling the white car... it's not the lowest mile, quickest, loudest or most collectable, but you only have one first Corvette.
