Hold on to your toupes!!!

We all tell a good tale about how fast our rides are (me included) - but check-out this road legal supercharged Lingenfelter FHC Corvette.
Yeah, I know it's on an Interstate and not a winding country lane, but it made me grin....

If it\'s good and fast, it won\'t be cheap. If it\'s fast and cheap, it won\'t be good. If it\'s good and cheap, it won\'t be fast.

Can end up being a very costly passtime, that, Steve.
I have a cold air induction set-up (Donaldson Blackwing), a Trans-go shift kit and a Magna-flow, but heavy engine mods a la Lingenfelter, Mallet and Callaway are downright scary.
The car in the vid belongs to a guy who contributes to a US forum that I post on. My guess is that his motor package is $30,000 worth. There's a FL Corvette Club gathering in Orlando this weekend. There will be more than a handfull of $100K + C5's at that gathering.
many argue that spending big on a Corvette is pointless and that the money would be better spent on a Porker or a Benzo, but for gut-wrenching torque, super-strong 100mph+ acceleration and a beautiful noise, they can't be beat - though I feel I'm preaching to the converted in your case!
