2003 Lingenfelter Corvette Z06
This is the holy grail of C-5 Corvettes! This pristine example has
been carefully driven just over 4,000 original miles since new. In
stock form, the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is widely considered
one of the best Corvettes ever built. However, this incredibly
low-mileage example has the Lingenfelter Performance Engineering
("LPE) 427 Twin-Turbo Package, with 700+ horsepower with the
potential for more, depending on boost.
For those unfamiliar with Lingenfelter's Performance Packages,
their Packages are not simply a set of parts sold for installation
elsewhere. The only way LPE provided full Packages such as this one
was when customers sent a brand-new Corvette to them, and over the
course of two to three months, they performed their magic. The
process is so much more than just the addition of turbos - the
entire engine is gone through to ensure each part is spec'd to be
reliable with the increased horsepower and torque. This particular
build was optioned with race-spec HRE forged alloy wheels, Michelin
Pilot Sport rubber, Borla exhaust, aero body enhancements, and
more. LPE delivers car Packages with all upgrades installed,
dyno-tested, and warranted. The Package price alone was more than
the Corvette cost new, not including all the additional options.
There's no doubt that owners of Lingenfelter Corvettes are members
of a very exclusive group of enthusiasts who choose to own the very
best.
According to Lingenfelter's Tim Dyer, their testing on a similarly
equipped Twin Turbo 427 Commemorative Edition with 725 hp produced
a quarter mile E.T. of 11.6 @ 136 mph. This should be easy to match
by a reasonably skilled driver, and there is more for those who
care to pursue it. Tim Dyer said, "Take that same car and put a set
of drag radials on it, and it would run probably mid to low-10s. If
you had a really good driver with real slicks and skinny front
tires, you could be in the 9s."
The Lingenfelter 427 Twin Turbo Package is a perfect upgrade to the
Z06 because of the car's factory performance-oriented specs. The
Z06 featured a lighter weight body, significantly improved
suspension and handling compared to the base Corvette, giving it
the factory-engineered capability for the massive power increase of
the Lingenfelter Package.
This car is in fantastic, un-altered condition and presents with no
disappointments. With very few ever produced, and this one quite
possibly being the lowest mileage 2003 Lingenfelter Twin Turbo in
existence, it's truly a rare opportunity to own a masterpiece of
automotive engineering excellence.
