Anyone want to wager on which one ran the best 0-60 time? I know it was one of my favorite cars

 

I am betting on Lingenfelter I hope his car wins.


rest in peace.

 

I like how last year the Lingenfelter GMC Sonoma beat everyone , I wish it was running again

 

I bet I know which car will win the award for most comfortable while going 180 mph

 

Sad that Mr.Twin Turbo God, John Lingenfelter, wont be there to stomp on the loud pedal.

sounds like a good line up! That CTS-V sure sounds nice.

 

This was the car that MTI was gonna bring (wasn't ready in time):

Nasty Z06


edit....that link says that the Z06 that MTI did bring was a customer's car. It indicated that it was NA, not turbo as listed above.

 

I'm surprised to see that Hennessey is still in business considering the bad reputation he has built recently....not delivering cars on time, delivering cars overbudget, underpowered or otherwise not as promised....he was getting a rap as a rip-off artist in some circles.....

 

considering the crap hennessey pulled, they shouldn't allow his cars to be entered.
but i am all for lingenfelter

 

I thought it was in the 3 second range though. Not too bad for a sub $50k car that rides better than stock.

 

I'd say the AWD had something to do with that
