Lingenfelter my @$$, you ca clearly see the sts kit in one of the pics, so I am doubting the motor work as well. And of course, the 8 sec 1/4 mile time at 155mph is a joke. What a douche. Tried reporting it but no appropriate category, and the e-bay dummy who receives it won't have a clue as to just how gross a misrepresentation this is.

Liars and cheats everywhere these days.

I am MOST impressed with putting "800+" hp through a 4L60E, and just exactly what is a Level 4 tranny? I guess I don't know as much about C5 A4's as I thought.

Maybe my eyes are bad, or the pics are too small, but it didn't look turboed to me. Maybe I'm wrong.

A level 4 tranny is a tranny that was assembled between the 5th and 3rd level floors at the plant in Bowling Green. Haven't you taken the tour? Everybody knows that!

Did you also catch that 3rd dimension engine block in the pictures?

I have an automatic transmission, and when I had my Mallett conversion done, I was told by Chuck Mallett that the most hp you could 'comfortably' put through a 4L60E was about 500-550hp. Anything higher required a 'major' upgrade or a different transmission altogether. Even with major mods on it, I would be afraid that 800+hp (if it's accurate) would grenade that tranny in a heartbeat.

The seller added
This is not a front turbo Lingenfelter, this is a rear mounted turbo car with 800hp and has Lingenfelter Cam and Heads and so forth, this car was not built by or at lingenfelter but was produced by Corvette LLC
Lingenfelter makes Remote Mount Twin Turbo systems? Don't think so... i think he means "This is not a Lingenfelter Turbo Package at all... however..." etc..

Looks like the guy got some LPE heads and LPE cam, and STS kit, and is claiming it as a Lingenfelter Corvette!

He's changed his tune a bit, added this:

"This is not a front turbo Lingenfelter, this is a rear mounted turbo car with 800hp and has Lingenfelter Cam and Heads and so forth, this car was not built by or at lingenfelter but was produced by Corvette LLC"

Corvette LLC... that seems generic enough.. Wouldn't you love to give that shop a call.. "So, about this 800 hp rear mount turbo car you built...."

Other guy: "We built what?"

Well, darn, I thought I was getting a $90,000 car with 800 hp for $30,000..... *goes to cancel bid*

But what does "level 4" mean or refer to? What was done to the transmission that sets it apart from the OEM, and far more importantly, will let "800 hp" go through a device that is probably max rated at 550 hp?

All options ZO6 Rims GM Crate LS-1 Level lV 4L60E trans GM Getrag 3:15 differential


I like the part i copied above, you know 800 RWHP on a stock GM getrag 3:15 rear end works great! Especially cutting 60 foots good enough for 8.5 second 1/4 mile..

Also, woudnt this car be some sort of record holder? 8.5 in the quarter on a stock GM crate bottom end has got to be a record
