1957 Corvette with a Supercharged V8
Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE) spent over 3,000 hours building this orange 1957 Corvette. In the engine bay is a supercharged 6.0 L LS2 V8 capable of 565 hp (415 kW) on 5 psi (0.3 bar) of boost. LPE built the motor with forged internals, ported heads, GT11 camshaft, Magnuson MP122 supercharger, and custom stainless steel headers. Backing the V8 is a Centerforce twin-disc clutch and G-Force T56 six-speed manual transmission. The rear wheels are turned by a C4 Corvette Dana 44 rear end with an Eaton Truetrac limited-slip differential and 3.54 ratio. The Corvette rides on a modified X-frame chassis with Newman Car Creations suspension featuring C4 Corvette steering rack and disc brakes. GTS Customs is responsible for covering the widened fiberglass body in PPG Organic Orange and Wimbledon White paint.
