I've decided to go nuts.

In two weeks I plan to fly/rental car/drive to Decatur, IN to visit LPE (Lingenfelter Performance) and visit with Tim about my C6 project.

I plan to have them do the Wide Body conversion for me (as some of you know, I've been longing for this look for quite some time) plus have them do their 402 CID kit on my car (525hp / 525 lbs-ft torque) sometime this winter.

I will definately also add their Velocity Yellow gauges package to my interior (Sa-Weet!) along with their VY Rail covers for the engine.

Here's the part I need help with.... Should I get their Lingenfelter "rear" or stick with the Wide Body (Z06) rear?

Here's a Car & Driver review of the 402 package --> Car & Driver Review of 402

I would really like for opinions, expert advice, amateur advice, and idiot criticism!

Oh, one more thing:


Wheel recommendations (wide body) plus tire recommendations (non hiway use so no need for run flats).

Thanks!

I think you should get the whole package. It will make your C6, yours. Bye Bye $30K, hello awesome power.

Raazor

I've always like you Dan.

ILLUSHN

I think you should go with the Lingenfelter rear and some 360 wheels with PS2's.

Yes, I'll be envious, but I'll be looking forward to the pics and video (hint, hint)!

Raazor

I really need advice on wheels. BAD!

I like chrome, but what about black w/ a VY ring? That could be hot.

I've decided to just go nuts. It's only money.


And "YES" i've thought about just the Wide body on the rear. What a deal. Only $3k!!! Big savings that way.

If you are going hog wild then CCW's or HRE, my friend is running the 505A 19x13 and plans on running 345x30's on the rear with 295x35's on the front.

Awesome on the LPE, great choice.

johnodrake

Good choice!

XCELER8

Awesome...
we want pix when done..
Also, why tub the car when you can do the WIDEBODY...unless your going stealth....

As far as wheels go, CCW, 360 or HRE would be my top 3. CCW is the most reasonable of them and One piece.
I am running 345s 19x13 CCWs

Raazor

Oh CRAP!! That sound good to Buzz. I'm familiar with both. Do them make 'em in Chrome? I thought they were both just polished.

Raazor

Those look good. Do you have a better picture?

HawaiiC6

CCW's as far as I know are polished, I know HRE's are polished but the finish can be made to look like chrome. To me the HRE's are the top of the line. Also 360 forged can custom make you your wheels, however you must avoid pot holes as they all dent easily.

If you want to be different take a look at Savini wheels.

You will have some killer ride when done. Get those Modular Rims in CF and you have awesome looks to go with all the HP

XCELER8

Not sure what type of picture your looking for here they are on the car w/ widebody rear.

Raazor

Come on fellas... show me some pictures!!! I'm lazy!

Raazor

Oh my!

Dats wut Im talkin' bout.

Nice X. Looks great. Those aren't chrome are they?

XCELER8

Polished...I think WCC has them chromed. CCW only does polished and I think they started to powercoat for another 100 dollars a wheel.

There are a lot of sick widebodys on the forum..Atomic Autosports has one with awesome CF wheels.

dvilin

I would go with the Lingenfelter rear as for wheels I would have to go with black versus chrome kind of give it that I mean business look, then it sounds mean, runs mean, and looks mean.

From another view......




and when your at it do the hood.....

Raazor

I need me chrome so I'll check out those Savini wheels. Thanks Hawaii-Man.

I like me some Biz-Niz look but not all black looks good to me. Chrome is always gud. However, Black looks good if it's "Just right".

Oy Shiznit!! I'm diggin that!!!! Uff. Nice!!!

Can't do the hood. Gotta $1100 hoodliner that NEEDS to stay! Steve Ray Rocks!!!
