Lmao, the gears change so quickly, I just love that engine sound, thick and crispy... And wow, that's a good looking Corvette, I really like it. Lol, the acceleration was really hard, it already reached the maximum gear in a few seconds... lol, nice vid.

Holy crap, thats engine is insane in the cool way! Listen to the engine's roar and it's raw power! It's a very deep and throaty grunt from the V8. Look at it make it's way through the gears at watch the needle go higher and higher each second. Awesome vid, nice find...

thnks
in this case the vette has a super high end tranny right? because shifting that quickly is almost not possible on a stock tranny correct?
armas

Well if the engine is able to burn the gears that quickly then possibly yes (it would have to be one hell of a clutch either way), but in this case the gear ratios were at least adjusted, if not gone with a brand new racing tranny.
p.s. it says something about the transmission in the video right?

the corvette 6 sp manuel transmission is perfectly capable of withstanding all the power that vette has and more
as for shifting quickly, its all about the driver, not the tranny

but having a good tranny definatly helps though. do the lingenfelter packages include a better clutch/tranny?

They don't mention either in the build list. To be honest, I have no idea how much the clutch is capable of. I would assume they need to upgrade it.
By the way, all of LPE's upgrades can be done for a fraction of the cost ($45,000). ****, that's another C5 Z06.

lingenfelter only works on the engine, they dont do anything to anything else.

Holy crap that was good. Sounded amazing. And the girl at the start wasn't bad either.

The girl? Meh, shes ok but shes not my style, brunettes are way better.:D
Maximum Gear? lmao, i'm guessing hes saying the highest gear which in this case, is 6th gear for the Lingenfelter corvette.

Woah!! Look at how fats the speedo climbs up. And that engine sound.
Man, I just love vettes :D.
By the way, cut the girl out of the vid. She's pointless and ruins the vid ;).

^ yea, you are right, shes not as gorgeous as Ale and gosh, she looks somehow ugly when i looked up her body and into her face...
beh, well that was good, darn, the C5 looks awsome, but wow, that sounds awsome, very nice find

That's pretty fast. Would be good if it was a longer video, though.

anybody else notice how they didnt give that lass a real bottle of 'torco' to fill the tank up with. When she said 'kick the competitions butt' as well, she only did have a rotation. So, for deaf people, Torco only kicks hip.

^Kicks hip...haha! The girl was pretty half-arsed wasn't she. ;)
Nice sig by the way! :)

went over 220 (as far as the speedo went). thats ridiculous. 4 tims the speed limit, if you got caught doing that you would be screwed. doing just 100 (40 miles over the limit) is reckless driving, and depending on the state can be as much a misdemenor. 220? reckless driving, self endangerment, endangerment of others, you'd get screwed hardcore
