Re: Lingenfelter does it again... (vw86gti)


The Sonoma is definately crazier, but there's something to be said for making a Cadillac with a curb weight of 5,709 lbs. hustle to 60 faster than a Z06 http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Re: Lingenfelter does it again... (trbogti)



Imagine seeing that truck in action.

Re: Lingenfelter does it again... (Mcstiff)

I bet you could custom make a turbo kit to get that much hp or a lil less for less cost then 120,000...

Re: Lingenfelter does it again... (Reflex5.5)


lol doesnt that hold several records on nuremburg

Re: Lingenfelter does it again... (PineappleMonkey)


Then how come you don't have it out there if you're such a genius?

Re: (MKII GTI)


Yup, around 7:50. That's BTW in the realm of highly moded Porsches, Murcielago, GT2s and the Pagani Zonda. Not too shabby for "just another SUV", huh?

Re: (Reflex5.5)


i wouldnt call a 700hp X5 'just another suv' in the first place

Re: Lingenfelter does it again... (PineappleMonkey)


Read the title again.... Lingenfelter
You get what you pay for. MTI, Cartek & DRM do great work but they aren't even in the same circle as LPE.

Re: Lingenfelter does it again... (PineappleMonkey)


Yeah, but you wouldn't get the GM Motorsports aluminum block, and the engine wouldn't be 7.0-liters...

Looks like he is still in a coma.

Re: Lingenfelter does it again... (90 GT-G60)

Hasn't been updated since April...I wonder how he's doing right now.

Re: (Clean97GTi)


No, the Nürburgring isn't related with the city of Nürnberg. They both are in completely different parts of Germany. While Nürnberg is in the north of Bavaria (but in the south of Germany), the Nürburgring is in the south-west of Germany. Also check that there is a different spelling of the two words.

Re: (Clean97GTi)


Nope Nuremberg is a few hundred kilometers away. The Nürburgring is in the Eifel mountains, near Cologne (it´s actually quite a bit away from there, but the track is basically in the middle of nowhere).

Re: (Eolair)


Ouch.......nice of you to insult my city. Not a big city, but Bonn is pretty close.
