Post pics and specs for your Lingenfelter Corvettes!
Hi All,
So I recently built a website to showcase Lingenfelter Project Cars:
http://www.lingenfeltercorvette.net/
I'm hoping to recruit Lingenfelter owners to post up some pics and info that can be placed on the site.
I've already posted a few sample cars here:
http://www.lingenfeltercorvette.net/...-corvettes.php
The 'other' cars are placeholders. I grabbed some of the placeholder pics from this site so apologies if I took your car I'm happy to take the pic down if you don't want it on my site.
Enjoy

My Corvette is a 2000 6 speed with a stage 2 Magnacharged engine. LG long tube headers with racing cats and no mufflers. My salesman emailed me a dyno chart showing 475 RWHP.
I had Lingenfelter rebuild my water damaged (Vararam) engine in 04. They installed my Magnacharger and I purchased a hood from them. It was a very bad experience for me. They broke my oil level sending unit and my salesman tried to hide it from me. He took my American Express for a 8k deposit but at the last second refused to accept it for the balance and I had to scramble up 8400k in cash at 3pm on Friday to pick it up. The computer started throwing codes before I even got it out of the parking lot. My salesman told me he did not have enough time to finish my paperwork as it was Friday evening when I picked up my car, and promised to send it in the mail the following Monday. I never got it. They also decided to start harassing me and threatening me 4 months after I paid for my car in full and picked it up. They informed me I did not pay my bill in full and started sending me threatening letters. They basically told me if I did not pay them extra money my warranty was void. I told them I would never bring my car back to their shop no matter what, and that I am not going to pay any extra money as I PAID IN FULL WHEN I PICKED IT UP!! Anyway it is still running great (after some repairs and tuning) and the hood was very well made so my purchase was not a total disaster. Just sharing my Lingenfelter experience.

Maybe that's not the case now that John Lingenfelter isn't around anymore.

I am in no way saying that they do not build an awesome car, or provide good customer service. I only spent 16k and brought them a 4 year old car with a blown engine, so I was in no way a priority.. My car and budget was weak compaired to some of the other projects they were doing when I was there.. One of them is that they were in the middle of building a prototype twin turbo for the c6 while my car was being worked on. My main issue was with my salesman..
