German tuner supes Corvette C6...

Quote:

GeigerCars has unveiled a customized Chevy Corvette called the SC 524 Kompressor. The tuner takes a standard Corvette C6 and boosts output via a supercharged V8 to 524 hp with peak torque of 637 Nm. The car hits 62 mph in 3.7 seconds from rest and has a top speed of 202 mph. The car has 20 inch GeigerCars chrome rims, and is lowered by over two inches. The kit is only available in Europe, and costs 23,371 euros, including installation.

$29,000 seems like a lot for wheels and a supercharger? I guess everything I see doesn't compare to the 427 CID LS2 Twin Turbo... even though it cost quite a bit more.

So, the lesson here is that: Germans need to turn German cars...?

I think it's a fair price.... How much is a Supercharger for lets say Acura TL? You then add 20" rims (most of which are expensive) and a very good set of tires. On top of that you add the labour costs and tunning of the SC and $29,000 doesn't seem that bad anymore.

Lowered by more than two inches with 20's? Was the Vette that high before?

Let the Germans stick with tuning German cars. The C6 can have an intercooled Procharger, fuel upgrades, a forced induction cam, valve train, and head back exhaust, along with wheels for about 10 grand, maybe less. And it will have much more power.

Could the price be because of what the corvette and parts cost in europe compared to here?

Atleast that could explain a little. I don't really care for it.

The body kit doesnt match the lines of the car at all either.

The blower looks nice, but the wheels and the body kit are horrible.

stick with good ol' Lingenfelter: link

some of the stats according to the latest Road and Track mag:
Twin Turbo 7.0 liter ohv V8
725 bhp @ 5400 rpm
730 lb-ft @ 4200 rpm
forged alloy wheels, 19x9f, 19x12r
3400lbs

Lingenfelter Gen-2 427-cu.-in. V-8 twin-turbo package with w/high efficiency heat exchanger and charge cooler.

0-60mph 3.9 sec
0-100mph 7.3 sec
1/4 mile 11.6 sec@136.0 mph
0-150mph 13.8 sec

80-0 mph 202ft
60-0 mph 116ft

skidpad 0.94g

That same 427 in a 2002 Corvette went 0-60 in 1.9. According to the magazine this car could've gone faster if they didn't spin the tires through 1, 2, and 3 gear.

I'm aware that they also have a 'Vette that has over 1000hp, but I'm just posting the stats from the mag I just read on the can.

Just as an example: Ever gone 140? Then 160? You definately notice the difference. Imagine the difference between speeds 40 mph faster. I've been one who has gone over 180 in a car and let's just say it is plenty different than going 160.
