Why Put A lingenfelter On An ERay?

That was kind of a known thing with the LT4/LT5, with the low end missing a lot of oomph, and the high end being demonic and needing to be carefully unleashed or risk losing control.
That's why I've felt that the hybrid drive system was the perfect antidote for the C7's shortcomings--despite "electric" anything being an anathema to all the purists.

No, I'm thinking more in terms of handling and how it can impact the dynamics of the car. If the engine is putting out way more torque than stock, the tuning or just the limitations of the front motor may not be able to produce enough torque to keep things working together as they did when stock. So it could create some "interesting" handling situations. It's all designed to play nice together in stock form, but if things are modded in ways other parts can't work as well with, it can make things a little odd.
I am also interested in a big power LT2 causing weight to shift off of the front end on a hard launch. I'm sure the front end has its own traction control so wheel spin won't be the issue, but I could see it making the AWD less effective for launching as one adds more and more power to the engine. Curious to see how that goes.
This will be fun to watch.

That blower whine combined with the (real or fake, don't care) electric motor whine is pretty crazy lol

I think I know EXACTLY why...
Steven allowed Paragon to take his ERay.. and do some mods, and Dyno his ERay. Thank You!!!
Now add the Lingenfelter supercharger..
But, why... What is the goal?
I think his goal is to have the FASTEST Vette (0-60) for a substantially less cost, than any HYPERCAR. My guess .. less than 2.1 sec 0-60. What other HYPERCAR can do this? What other production car (slightly modified) can do this?
Lingenfelter - $20-$30k (could be more) + $170k - C8 vette = $200k LOL
I Love the idea.
What do you guys think?
