Default Lingenfelter C5
My first post. My first Corvette. Late to the party but I always wanted one of these and Facebook Marketplace had my number and popped this car right up two mornings ago. I am the third owner of the 27,000 mile car and have a lot to learn.

Welcome to C5 ownership and the CF. Remember to drive it and not just look at it.

Congrats. MY is a great color. There’s more to Corvette ownership than just owning. Now you have to start buying things to accessorize your dream. Enjoy.

Thanks. Don’t know much about them except the car and driver write up. Sure remember Lingenfelter helping cars get performance back after all the emission troubled years.

love the supercharger whine. Maybe it will get “old” but I doubt it!

That must be the bored and stroked version. Mine is a simpler supercharger bolt on with a special hood with a raised center.

thanks for sharing
