For those of you who haven't seen it yet this thing is pretty cool looking

Yeah, I really respect that company. bought a lot of parts and got a lot of good advice from them over the years. The car in the picture is wearing Fikse 5S wheels which are what I bought (from Lingenfelter) for my cars. Lingenfelter always does their cars right and also never overrates their modded engines on HP, like many tuners.

 

is that rear wheel much larger than the front?

 

Are you talking about the width? or the overall size, cause its a 19" rim on the back, but I'm not sure about the width.

 

Not sure what this is about.

On my car, an 02 ZO6 with a C5R 427, I have tubbed rear wheel wells and 18 diameter by 13 inch wqide wheels on the rear running 345 section drag radials.

I bought my Fikse wheels from Lingenfleter. They offered 19 inch diameter by 12 or 13 width. I turned 19 inch down because drag radials are only available in 345 section in 18 inch diamter, and got just 18x13. Anyway, you can fit 19 or 18 inch to the rear with 12 or 13 inch WIDTH. It is very close to tolerance and difficult to fit; I have to use two jacks to change a tire (long story, for another day), but you get spectacular results with wide wheels (12-13 inch) and wide rubber (345); good tractin with flat tire sections and good handling.

 

Thanks for posting the cool pic of the Ligenfelter C6.

I noticed a small door below the head lights, I assume that this is
a washer and/or washer/wiper. I knew that Ligenfelter did some
pretty tric performance mod's but I guess I'm suprised to see a tric
non-performance mod!

Does anyone know what the total Lingenfelter C6 package consist off?

I heard that the package goes for $138,000, but I don't know what's
in it.

I would not assume the door is a headlight washer. You could call Lingenfelter (ed Potter) and ask, but I'd guess it was an access hatch or cover for something else. Remember the trubos on the Ling turbo kit are forward under the front fenders/fascia.

Depending on the Hp, the kit costs about $40-$100K above the price of the vette. I had a plain vanilla 500 Hp Ling. C5 set up once once. They do very nice work. Treat the customer right, too.

 

I'm not sure about that lip, but that thing must scream. they have some great cars out there with big hp#'s does Mallet do any vette stuff? or just cadi's

Nice! I've always admired how tastefully done Lingenfelter cars are. Not to mention how god-awfully fast they are. Now, of course, affording one, that's a whole different deal!

Mallet also does Vettes. They have packages for both the C5 and the C6. They even have a conversion for Solstice owner to drop in a LS2.
