Notes From Owner

I've learned some things about Lingenfelter cars (and Corvettes in general) the last few years that I wish I'd known before buying the car. The upgrade path would have been much smoother with these tips!

  • Chin spoilers get rock chips. Lots of them. There's really not much you can do about it. So best to buy a chin spoiler that comes a dark color unpainted, so rock chips are much less noticeable. I ended up with the standard Z06 chin spoiler which is easy/cheap to replace.
     
  • Magnaflow Magnapak exhaust does not fit on cars with long tube headers out of the box (they have to be modified)
     
  • Magnaflow Magnapak exhaust drones like crazy around 1500 RPM. I ended up giving up and installed ZR1 exhaust which has no drone.
     
  • Methanol injection is a nice safety net for your engine, for higher power engines it's a must.
     
  • The non-Z51 package on an A6 has a really tall gearset. Upgrade those babies immediately for an instant performance boost
     
  • Get your car tuned right away - tuning really wakes it up
     
  • The non-Z51 handling package sucks. I'd go as far as saying it's dangerous on the freeway at high speeds. I ended up with a full Pfadt suspension kit, but any upgraded shocks and springs will do the trick.
     
  • Lowering the rear of a corvette too far activates the active handling feature prematurely. After raising the rear of the car 1/4", the active handling problem went away.
     
  • Painting your calipers a dark color. Yellow is hard to maintain :)
     
  • LG Motorsport World Challenge Wheels with a Z06 offset will not fix on a standard C6 without rubbing. You must get the C6 offset. But once you do that, there are pretty much no brake kits that will fit under the wheels.
     
  • Cobalt GTS brake pads are LOUD. Not just a little squealing. They sound like a dying cat every time you stop the car. I gave up on these pads and went with some Hawk HP+ pads.
