The noise of the C6R is enough to make you fall in love with it.

I very much doubt you could get a Lingenfelter tuned one for that. And plus, they really aren't that great looking. They're certainly nice, but there's a thousand better looking cars out there.

And you can fuck right off if you think I'm going to list them.

Cheapest I could find for a base DBS is $265k. That puts out 510ish HP at the wheels according to here. If that's at the crank, sorry.

To get the 800HP kit thrown onto a corvette Z06, it's a smooth $45k. That includes a ton of mods to get is sex worthy. Add that to the Z06 base of around $70k, it nets you a $115k car that is fucking god like. Hell, even the 630HP package is only $9k. RIP John Lingenfelter. =/

I could have sworn I read something about a package for the upcoming ZR1. Looking...

So yeah, you can go pay that much for a European luxury sports car, or you can pay half that for a piece of American muscle history. I, for one, would gladly take the Corvette.

((Not to mention that over here, getting work done to a motor that has 'GM' scribbled all over it is ten times cheaper than to get a European car serviced))

The Lingenfelter 2006 ZO6 Corvette 427 CID Twin Turbo blasted down the 11,800 foot runway from a dead stop to a measured mile at 226.25 MPH! Go to 3:05 for in-car view of the run.

Clarkson drives the Z06 ... listen to that V8 ... beautiful ... the 0-60 is 3.5 sec though, not 4.0. He can't help but throw in some criticism at the end, but I'll forgive that.

Clarkson again
