4th place MTI's Z07 Package Corvette

"From outside, the exhaust is extremely loud, but it’s a mellifluous loud. From the driver’s seat, the exhaust tells another story: The noise is oppressive and monotonous, like an angry drunk with an artificial larynx. This exhaust would be more at home on a Nextel Cup car."

"However, none of the top three was driven home at the end of the two-day test." :eek:

2nd Place 2004 Lingenfelter 427 Twin Turbo Corvette

There you go Wes :nana2

"Not only does the trophy bear the Lingenfelter name for 2001 and 2002, but 800 horsepower and 830 pound-feet of torque from a twin-turbocharged 428-cubic-inch V-8 make you think about reading the last rites to the pricey 345/30ZR-19 Michelin Pilots before you hit the accelerator. There is so much power on tap that the tires don’t have consistent traction until after 80 mph, despite the car’s boost controller, which was set up to dispense less boost at lower speeds. The inability to put the power to the road can be seen in the unspectacular 0-to-60 time—at least in this company—of 4.1 seconds, but before you begin to doubt the 800 horsepower, take a look at the quarter-mile numbers: 11.6 seconds at 136 mph."
