Seems to be a very fair price given the exclusiveness of this ZR-1.

Yes I saw this car, the exterior looked to be in mint shape. The only area of concern was that the interior was a bit tattered for the mileage i.e. carpet stained and ashtray broken, center console and various black pieces scratched.

I think this is Paul Denhart's ZR-1

Didn't this one sell for $42k at auction a couple of years ago?

Is it me or is something not right with this car. I see an automatic transmission shifter yet I see a clutch pedal set up as if it was a 6-spd. Pictures 24 and 25

It was converted to an automatic and they left the clutch pedal in.

A26B

Yes. To me it will always be known as Paul Denhart's ZR-1 since he was 1 of the 4 who consigned Lingenfelter to build the TT's. Paul put the automatic in it later.

Ghetto. Who did that hack job? Not LPE.

I believe Pete did that.....original 6 spd cover is in my basement....I think I have the original pistons and liners too

I have a clutch from a Paul D. TT car.

Why was an automatic put in to replace a manual?

Tyler Townsley

It is 368 CI as are 2 other cars, there was one 385 ci car which Will B has. Paul had a 150 shot of nitrous on it to try and keep rpms up during the shift. Did not work too well which prompted the auto trans.

Anybody know what the car ran in the 1/4?

Zrxmax

Does anybody know what it should have been capable of running the 1/4 in?

I am going to the 1/4 mile calculator and see what the numbers say for 850 hp and 3600 lbs assuming a 200 lb driver included.

It came out to 137 mph... high 9 low 10 second run capability depending on the 60 ft is my best guess.

Here is the link I mentioned.

In 2000 at BG that car ran a 9.8 with John L. coming out easy. I don't recall the MPH exactly. But the MPH was a VERY impressive number for the ET. Can we say mega horsepower ?


Phil DeJohn introduced me to John Lingenfelter at the track when this car was being tested in 2000. John was having a little trouble controlling the boost as I recall.

wasn't that Norm's K's car? I don't think paul got this one sorted out fully, but I didn't see too many runs with the auto.

Norm's car cracked 9.8s with John L driving. some of the most amazing driving I've ever seen by none other than John L himself.

when Graham Norm and I were drinking in the bar (alot) the last time Graham ran Norm's TT, we were all mourning John L's passing, and Graham was a bit upset that he couldn't quite run a 9.8 with the same car. He wanted to match John L's time but with the scant traction, it's tough. Graham I honestly think the track was prepped a bit better for John L. or you would have gotten Norm's car there!!!

he was a bit upset, but John L truely was a "no lift" driver and it his times were always tough to beat

my favorite runs were watching Fastlane and Norm's cars cracking 9s

not exactly easy with a ZR-1

man I wish I had the coin for this. I would trade the world for this car and I'd even fix the ashtray!

LOL!!!

I'll tell Pete his work is ghetto!

I'd love to own it, but that automatic has got to go. It's not a competitive 1/4 mi. car, (never was), so why not return it to a stock 6 spd. so you can use it as a ZR-1 was intended.
It looks like such a pristine C4, what a nice surprise for spanking late model hotshots on the street.

I doubt it will bring near $65K, even though it's the #1 Lingenfelter ZR-1 twin turbo. For my money, I'd much prefer Jim's white 415 beastie, in it's lightweight trim from 15 yrs. ago:


That's the #1 Lingenfelter ZR-1 in my book.
