What does "LSV" mean???
One of my coworkers convinced her husband to let her take his immaculate 1990 Coupe to work yesterday. She has been telling me about this car for quite some time and I was finally able to have a look. It was black with some very nice chrom rims and it the letters "LSV" on the lower right corner of the butt (same place the ZR1 logo goes. She said that it was some sort of special Corvette but that's all she knew. She says it also came with 3 different rim and tire combos that can be changed for different purposes. Anyone have a clue?

Isn't the LSV a Marine-duty, Chevy V-8? Any yacht owners care to chime in?

:iagree:
I may not know much about vettes... But LSV was short for kick my butt
Lingenfelter is what the two guys called theirs... I saw tail lights...
I am pretty sure it's a special purchase, not unlike Callaway, and can scoot well.

Re: (scorp508)
Did it have a high mount brake light on the hatch and convex bumper? In other words was it a Lingenfelter ZR1?

Lingenfelter
Does anyone have a clue as to what the performance numbers and power output are for this particular car. We weren't going to race, but she seemed very confident that it would beat my '95 6-speed.

Re: Lingenfelter (*89x2*)
OMG! :eek: Is his car a stock Lingenfelter? My motor doesn't even make that kind of power if it is removed from the car and run with no accessories! I wonder what it cost when it was new. Mabe I can get her to let me drive it next time. :smiliedrool: I have tried to find information about this car on the net but I haven't had any luck.

Ive ridden in it....And all I can say is that ***** runs thru the gears to 100mph in a HURRY.
It would bitchslap my 406rwhp/536rwtq Callaway with no problem.
