Default 0-60 in 3.7 sec!

Latest issue of C&D has the newest upgrade from Lingenfelter for the C5.
Supercharger kit for $6400 ups stock C5 hp from 350 to 490 and torque from 375 to 480 :eek: Z06 goes to 530 hp!

Stats: 0-60= 3.7
0-100=7.7
0-150=17.9
1/4 mi=11.7@126 Not too shabby!

Loaded with a host of other goodies, (intake, exhaust,wheel tire package) it goes for an out the door price of $58,016 and includes the cost of the Millineum Yellow Coupe on which the install was done.

3 year 36,000 mile powertrain warranty available for $200. :)

I just read the article. $9K and a trip to Indiana for installation. For an additional $200 they throw in a 3 yr/36K warranty. This includes a new painted hood to fit over the SC.

With used low mileage C5's out there, someone could build a killer C5 for less than $36K or $37K right now. That's probably the best way to look at this.

It is the Maggasun (sp) setup. There is a pic of the hood in the magazine.

Saw it today, thought it was a nice setup, but wouldn't want to put that rednek hood on the car so that ruined it for me.

This is exactly why it's such a good deal. Before I bought my car I was almost ready to buy a Z06. For probably $8 to $10,000 less than a low mileage Z06 I got a C5 with under 4,000 miles on it and 100 horsepower more than a Z06.
