Lingenfelter-Modified 2001 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible: A Beast Unleashed.
Prepare for an adrenaline-fueled ride with the Lingenfelter-modified 2001 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible. This exceptional vehicle, now up for auction, has undergone a transformative modification by Lingenfelter Performance Engineering in 2003. With its twin-turbocharged 427ci V8 engine, six-speed manual gearbox, and limited-slip differential, this Corvette is a true powerhouse on the road.
The sleek black exterior of this convertible is complemented by a striking Tiger Shark front bumper cover, an ACI fiberglass cowl hood, and a black convertible soft top. Fixed headlights, fog lights, fender vents, and Z06-style rocker vents further enhance its aggressive appearance. Quad exhaust outlets give a hint of the raw power that lies within.
Staggered-diameter 18" and 19" HRE wheels, paired with Nitto Invo tires, provide optimal traction. The car is equipped with Active Handling and traction control, while a Doug Rippie coilover suspension ensures a smooth and controlled ride. Braking power comes from four-piston Brembo calipers and cross-drilled rotors at all corners. The rear wheel housings have been tubbed by Lingenfelter to accommodate wider tires, adding to its formidable presence.
Step inside the cabin, where power-adjustable bucket seats draped in black leather offer comfort and support. The interior boasts a host of amenities, including a head-up display, dual-zone automatic climate control, a CD stereo, and a Bose sound system. Lingenfelter's electronic boost controller and an AutoMeter boost gauge add a touch of high-performance flair.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 200-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline, accompanied by gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The digital odometer shows just 16k miles, with approximately 15k added under the current ownership.
What truly sets this Corvette apart is the twin-turbocharged 427ci V8 engine installed by Lingenfelter in 2003. With a C5R aluminum race short block, JE forged aluminum pistons, and a Callies forged steel crankshaft, this powerhouse produces an impressive 725 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque on low boost. On high boost, those figures soar to an astonishing 825 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque. The engine build includes numerous high-performance components, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail by Lingenfelter Performance Engineering.
Power is transmitted to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential. An upgraded GHL stainless steel exhaust system, heavy-duty output shaft, and a dual-disc clutch and flywheel assembly complete the impressive drivetrain package.
