Lingenfelter Firebird 427 CID 9.858 1/4 Mile

[saleen737]

Imagine that with a trans-brake

[BlkFlagMotorsports]

good run. does it get up on the wheelie bars much?

[spykeize]

Ligenfelter prices are such a ripoff it seems like, but that 2 year warranty I guess is what makes is somewhat worth it (seems like it's really built to last, as oppose to built to win races for a season).

[SoCalJohnston]

beast. Enough said

[terr0rwolf]

Great sound!

[PrimitiveStrikeForce]

How do you make it a 427?

[xxfamouskid14xx]

buy the corvette motor or a crate engine. gm performance makes the zz427 but its carburated. theres also the 427LE or buy the ls7 which is the 7.0. plus i think the lsx is a 427 i havent done much research on it so i might be wrong about the lsx

[terr0rwolf]

@xxfamouskid14xx

The LSX is a 454

[xxfamouskid14xx]

thanks i wasnt sure which it was all i knew was it was a bad ass chevy motor lol

[idontknow5858]

isnt the lsx still considered a small block?

[terr0rwolf]

@idontknow5858

An LSx is any LS engine series, which is considered a small block, like LS1, LS2 etc. The LSX too, but it has a few internal changes and is made from iron. It comes in 454 ci.

[sparkalanio]

na dude a lsx is any type of ls engine u can make to watever u choose too

[jpap967]

@xxfamouskidxx

LSX is a 454 ci engine = 7.4 liters, spot on about the 427 engines though

[xxfamouskid14xx]

@jpap967 i never really did much research on the lsx i just knew it was something like a 427 or 454, and thanks i actually impress a lot of people with my knowledge of cars for being only 16.

[jpap967]

I believe it, I started actually learning about and working on cars a couple years ago when i turned 18. blame my dad for it, I love cars

[jimbo98z]

@jpap967 LSX is a series of blocks. They go from 3.990 bore to 4.25 bore, with a up to a 4.25" crank on the standard, and I think a 4.5" crank on the tall deck. That leaves room for something just over 500 cubes max. The LSX 454 is just a 454 built with an LSX block instead of an old style big block. 4" stroke, 4.25" bore.

[howieketchdem]

Ok lets use are heads here, what would you start off with A 20,000$ ws6 raim air formula which they did in fact make. Or a $3,000 six cylender FIREBIRD. since the engine is swaped out by lingenfelter along with rear end,tranny,etc. not sure why any one would butcher a rare ass car like a WS6 formie, So i would bet my money its a six cyl. maybe a formie but not a WS6 formie I guarentee...

[element774]

right on the money.

costs a penny for an old v6 model rather then a 15-25k ws6(depending on condition)

[robertarapaj101]

dude thats a trans am ws6 like a 1998-2002

[dectrone]

ummm its a linginfelter tuned car

[dhodges89]

no it's a firebird with a trans am hood. the hoods are interchangeable i know i have a firebird. the nose of the firebird and trans am are different

[hellcryin]

formula ws.6 cars had v6 bumpers and ramair hoods.

[papaown]

no such thing as a formula ws6, only a formula or ws6, but no ws6 has ever come with the v6 hood unless it was convertible

[APontiacof455cubes]

there is such thing as a ws6 formula. they are very rare. and whats a v6 hood? all birds are either single or double stacked (ws6), the ram air hood.

[papaown]

no idea why i said that, i must have been drunk, but i meant spoiler not hood

[trans275]

ws6 formula only in lt1 1995 -1997 no ls1 formula was ever a ws6 1998-2002 no fomula after 2000 had a ram air hood i think

[APontiacof455cubes]

in 2000 but before that they did.

[trans275]

i knew the 01and 02 formulas didnt have ram air but i wasnt sure if the 2000 did

[APontiacof455cubes]

im agreeing only because ive heard this before as well. as to if its true and as to why pontiac did this is what i wanna know.

[hellcryin]

You had better contact pontiac then. Tell them that they produced 1102 coupe and and 43 convertible models of the Firebird from 97 through 2000 that don't exist. Thx for playing

[steelfury455]

Hmm...a Camaro that looks like a Trans Am. TA looks better in my opinion..

[ladvash]

it is a transam lol not camaro

[dckmn52]

are all you guys nuts??

thats either a Firebird or a Formula with the WS6 hood

it has a low spoiler, there is now way thats a TA unless they swapped out the entire hatch for it.

an amazing car to say the least. Lingenfelter FTW.

[SorryYoureWrong]

Who cares if it's an actuall Trans Am?

[dckmn52]

obviously all the guys below me do because they were discussing it.

just figured id point out the actual truth.

[SorryYoureWrong]

That's because alot of idiots actually think there is a big difference between The Trans Am WS6, firebird, formula, camaro z28, and camaro ss. Aside from a less restrictive exhaust, final drive gearing, and maybe intake THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. Technically speaking, the Trans Am WS6 weighs the most of the three. It's more of a flashy car, the flip lights, bigger wing, and premium interior and sound make it around 50lbs heavier.

[dckmn52]

dude, that ruled

i love you, haha. A SMART PERSON!!! YES!!!!

[SorryYoureWrong]

Check out LS1tech.c0m if you're into the 4th gens (technically late 3rd gens). It is alot less mind numbing than youtube. I'm actualy really beginning to hate youtube.

[jewtagbag]

ls1tech ftw :), agree totally sorryyourewrong. and also you jackasses argueing about trans ams. formula means it has the v8 option. trans am is v8 and trim. and ws6 is v8 and performance suspension package. good day.

[trillakilla]

i like the fat ass tires i want them on my geo metro!

[AmericanMuscle85]

I agree. Look at the front bumper too. The TA has the fog lamps in the center by the bird emblem, not out to the sides like the formula or firebird.

[dckmn52]

i know, thats the most obvious give away.

looks like we have some smart people on youtube finally. thumbs up to you guys.

[FMX891807]

Its a T/A non WS6 with a WS6 hood added.

[unicursalhex]

people calling my trans am a camaro is one of my pet peeves...

[alscort93]

How could that be mistaken for a camaro??

[blehaw1229]

Yep its a Trans Am not a Camaro.

[tusweetforu]

It has a firebird front clip with Ram air hood. Could be a Formula Ws6 though.

[DottyLomax]

It's a T/A - check the body lines and rear of the car.

[DottyLomax]

It's a T/A - check the body lines and rear of the car.

[jlmorris]

WS6 T/A Lingenfelter = Bad Ass

[jrd6108]

Cool Video accept thats not a camaro its a trans-am or a firebird
