2000 pewter c5 43,700 miles 383 stroker package - built by John Lingenfelter of LPE (two tops, hud)

I purchased the car from the first owner who shipped the car to LPE for the 383 package- his bill was over 20k for the 383 conversion. he went with the best parts period, the crank is a $2,000 forged Lunati crank, Lunati rods and je pistons. When I picked up the car in november of 2007 and drove it 400 miles, it remained parked until spring 2008 and i began to research and buy parts to increase the horsepower but keep it 100% a street car not a track or race car that "could" be driven..my final results. The Vette Doctors did the most recent work and tune on the car.

532 rear wheel horsepower/ 472 rear wheel ft/lbs of torque (this works out to be over 610 flywheel horsepower)

video proof on the vette doctors dyno.

the first and only pass (picked up a bolt in the drag radial on the return road) yielded a 10.77 @ 132.7 with a very high 60 foot...lots of et left in the car...I have sat side by side with an 09 ZR1 from 20-150 and he could not come around me....this is a very fast NA C5, it is making as much and more power then most 402's and larger engines...
