Has anyone done the "tiger shark" body that appears on the Lingenfelter.com site that they sell the panels for. I once saw a video of "unreleased" GM vehicles and the "tiger shark was in it. It more or less is a C5 with a twin-turbo 427. The thing had carbon fiber inserts around the taillights (which btw was not a stock rear panel, it has flush taillights). The hood on this thing is absolutely sick! The thing is yellow but not competition yellow, its another shade (more gold-ish). You can make out on the fact sheet that it says 742 hp for those who are interested.

Anyways, the video also featured a preview of the Silverado SS that we now know but with the older front end with the rounder headlights (it was stick too!). Also, in it was a olive Monte Carlo, stick, with a wide-body and what appeared from the side to be an LT1. The final car was a yellow turbo charged cavalier dragster.

Part way through writing this thread I decided to hunt the video down online for everyone to see. So here it is: http://www.f-bodyhideout.com/videos.htm
It's about a 1/4 of the way down the page and is titled: GM Performance shows off some of their Bowties at Damascus Chevrolet in Maryland

If anyone has pics of their C5 with this body kit please post them on here. I am interested in seeing some pics other than the Lingenfelter vette.

Also, do you think that Chevrolet has this car in their posession any longer? Or any of these cars? Are they given VIN numbers and sold? What do you think happened to these beautiful bowties?

 

don't know anything about it but thanks for the video! Hope someone will chime in and help you out

 

That is the original Tiger Shark...GM spent sooo much money on that car you would not believe it. The rear is not carbon fiber its a MSG color by the yellow. The paint job was 30k dollars. The alum. badges alone were 7k dollars. The car also is a 427 SC car. ( I am almost positive its a Vortech unit.) The whole body kit was made in fiberglass. I was offered 1 of 3 that had the orig. Corvette added in the rear. Jay Leno got the kit that I was going to get. Here is a picture of the yellow Tiger Shark with the MSG color for the tail lights.


I did finally go with the Tiger Shark kit and I am sure I will love it when its all together.
My rear...umm

The original Tiger Shark is a great looking vehicle. The Tiger Shark panels you can now buy are one of the best looking kits out there. Some day I hope to have one on my car.
