Default Final Episode Tuner car Challenge

Yes folks, we are going to Nurburgring in October on Oct 8th to see what we can do on this track of tracks.

We are very disappointed that no other Corvette/GM tuners decided to show up in spite of registering to come.

We built a Killer Corvette C7 Z06 with NO ONE to "KILL"... What a drag!

What we did accomplish was to show the world that our C7 Dual Intercooler package really works. Never saw over 194 water temp. and Oil temps were far below any trouble range. We could have kept doing lap after lap with no issues. BUT we knew that because we have been testing and validating the system for almost 2 years in house plus many customers who have had success.
every LG Part from engine, suspension is up to the task.

SO, Oct 8th in Germany, Plan your trip now and maybe we can work out a ride along

Thanks See you at the track!!

Nice job TEAM LG. Love seeing tuners that actually have the stones to put their cars out there and compete. Well done!

Mad dog. With all due respect, we have always been the Corvette team to beat

Attached are the qualifying results from 2009 Petit LeMans — notice LG motorsports qualified on the outside pole in the GT class and The GM Corvette Racing qualified third and seventh —-we can compete with anybody

Tuners—factories anyone. It is just another challenge. And I love a challenge.
See you at Nurburgring

No worries. I misunderstood

But it gave me a chance to brag a bit

We are really proud of all that we have accomplished over the years. And I do mean manny manny years. I keep saying, I wish I was 30 again
As a result, we have come up with some really good Corvettes parts in the process.

Thanks.

Lou...haha...you went out to Robs event and owned that sh*t. Rob and that Corvette of his...man, embarrassment to society. Please offer that guy a discount or something, have him ship that pos to Tx and sort that car. He claims he has 150k in that junkpile...I'm thinkin 90k in NYC labor by guys who don't have a clue.

I hope you get good weather at the ring, I want to see a C7Z rip a 6 minute lap!

And Rob still thinks it would run with a 991 GT2RS on the ring lol.

I can't believe I'm going to be the first to ask but lets hear it, whats your prediction on your "ring time"? Will you be able to break sport auto's time of 7:14?

I certainly hope so. I believe our car is capable of low 7:xx for sure but It remains to be seen if I can get myself up to speed on only 1 visit.

I do plan on going early and getting as many laps in as possible prior to the run date.

Our car has plenty of our LG Motorsports parts installed that should help me achieve the goal.

My excuse if I fail is that "I am not an young as I use to be".......OR....
.. "the older I get, the faster I WAS!"

I love a challenge for sure. We shall see.

Great job Lou / LG motorsports

Please be carful!! I have witness much carnage on the Green Hell. Very dangerous track with absolutely NO run off room without Armco action. I would suggest you find a simulator and start learning the track (LOL yes with your age this will be challenging) but it will help out on a track with about 170 corners!!

FYI If you get a chance run over to the Hockenheimring Grand Prix circuit. They open the track to the public on Thursdays and some weekend dates for only18,00 € . Great Formula 1 track!! Good time to show off some American HP.

If you can, some time on a racing sim rig would probably help get some familiarity though I don't think any game has updated to the recent changes they've done at the track.

I have what we think is the best simulator available at this price coming next month. I am sure it will help along with showing up early and practicing.

If any of you are interested in one, they will give you a 1 year membership to iRacing (no cars or tracks, just the service) when you mention LG or Lou and a 1 hour free remote training (where they call me and I connect to their computer and show them what to do).

They are raising the price 7-8% very soon so if you are interested, I would think about calling them.

I am trying to get them to sponsor our trip but no luck yet. Maybe if we get enough Sim buyers, they will buy me a hamburger or something

Don't forget to mention LGM
