Craig and Larry's SL65's vs. Lingenfelter C6Z06, Z06, Supra,

[TheSmoonge]

Man, all those cars are sick! Props to the owners. I can't wait to buy a used Z06 and modify the hell out of it. I was reading in a book about modifying the ls7 engine and one of the things most people don't consider is putting in a light weight crescent moon shaped crankshaft to save on reciprocating weight. That I will do, plus put in headers, cam, intake an exhaust, ecu tune, etc. to begin with.

[arniebarb123]

who the fuck drag races a masserati lol haha

[TheSmoonge]

@arniebarb123 apparently a bored maserati owner =)

[HaloRanks]

That trans has the BEST sound!!!!!

[bortous]

the vettes are great cars with killer engine. an LS2 with ported l92 heads, and a lingenfelter camshaft 229/242 .631 .631 114.5LSA would blow this SL65 to pieces.

[pebi86]

What SL is this?

Stock version??

[3l1t355]

SL65...thats what sl this is.

[ClumzyThief666]

that vette is the most beautiful sound ever

[ClumzyThief666]

everyone knows that lingenfelter would whoop that sl65s ass... and i mean whoop... you can clearly see the vette realing him in quick, even after a bad start...

[isiahlilman]

that last vette ripped him a new one regardless, the LF Z06 is entirely quicker than the SL could ever be even with a v12/2 turbos and upgraded chip

[pearsall60]

A good matchup on all the races.

I'm proud of that SL, it represented MB and AMG well.

Now if you want to compare apples to apples, race that Lingenfelter vette with a Brabus SL65.

In fact, type Brabus SL65 in the search bar and see what it has.

[atcomx26]

the zr1 beat the brabus and the lingenfelter is faster than the zr1

[cmacbrown]

that vette ate that benz put some radials on there and itll go 0-60 in 1.9sec

[Frylock350]

I'm very surprised that the SL was able to take that Supra.

That lingenfelter cams/heads vette needs either a better driver or better tires, that launch was pathetic.

Motor trend tested a Lingenfelter C5 that run 0-60 in 1.9s, now that's nuts. That has to be the most violently undrivable car there is.

[YouAndTaylorRule]

A Lingenfelter holds the worlds fastest street legal 0-60 time of 1.6 secs and 1.4 unofficial.

and it did need a better driver, lol

[zatwhisky]

that vette sound is amazing!!

[roydied15]

that TA was like the most beautiful car ever.

[ClosetLooner750]

for 150 grand or better that kraut piece of shit better beat cars that are half its price....you guys are all proud. i am sure my moms 25k camry will beat a 12k kia in a drag race too. you guys are retarted. i have a 91 mustang that has a total of 40k into it that will smoke your benz anyday.....

[c7andrei]

why does an expensive car has to win in a drag race all the time,it wasnt built for that.dumb ass

[ClosetLooner750]

wow, hmm, why would they give a car 650 or more horsepower so it could go 65 mph on the highway. Listen fuckbag, learn your cars, the reason they build hotrod versions on normal cars is so that you can race them and do well. If they didnt build it to go fast, then it would only need the 100 or so horsepower required to get most cars to the legal posted speed limits in most of the world. And i do know that some cars are built to run faster or roads like the autobahn, but this car was american.

[nike2die4]

lol true dat..

[cecfuker]

The sl65 is twin tyrboed and the vette was a head and cam car and was still faster plus the sl65 is a v-12 vette is a v-8 you do the math and tell me what the better car is.

[Travisshai]

Why is that people hate american icons? Which a Corvette happens to be. Must be that Communist or Nazi flu pandemic. The same that Car and Driver has also developed. Long live the USA and the Corvette 2 of the many greatest things ever developed invented. Show some pride in your culture and country along with the things that come out of it.

[Riastrad27]

"Why is that people hate american icons?"

Good question. My theory is that throughout the 70's and 80's, overall American automotive quality was in the toilet and the imports moved in. Since then, everyone's so convinced of American inferiority that even when a quality work like the new Vette comes along, they're so stubbornly convinced that they won't believe the new reality, even when the international automotive press and the competition (both domestic and foreign) confirms it.

[Riastrad27]

It's a big hang up for them, and I just laugh when overpriced Lambos, Ferraris, Porsches, Benzes, BMW's et al see the Z06 pull past them. Beautiful cars, all of them and still superior in build quality (except for maybe the Lambos). But buying a car that costs as much as a house and still getting matched or beaten by a car 1/2 to 1/3 its price- just because of some snooty disposition- is the triumph of madness over reason. Cheers.

[98LS1TransAM]

then take a heavily modified V8 and it will kill any heavily modidfied V12, Top Fuel Dragsters hit 300MPH in the 1/4 mile and do it only in 4 seconds!, no V12 can do that!!!

American Muscle FTW!!

[wutupmynig]

Tell me how long it takes the z06 to reach 200mph?oh wait it cant reach 200mph ; p

[kremecheez]

what do you mean that was my point! no high end torque probably means you arent gonna go as fast after 150 mph. o and the cars I mentioned arent fully modified race cars they are stock. yeah and who cares if it doesnt go to 200mph, the buggatti goes way over 300mph and the viper kills it to 200mph and is millions less. :p

[wutupmynig]

way over 300mph kid your a fully modified retard.253mph is the topspeed for Veyron.plaese shut your mouth already!

[wutupmynig]

hennessy viper and lingenfelter vette is not stock kid.keep dreaming!!

[Junker8]

With a Lingenfelter upgrade it does,

not to mention 0-60 in 2.9

faster than a hennessy viper OR a bugatti.

[Junker8]

1.9* type-o

[wutupmynig]

yes i understand that fully modified cars are faster then then stock cars.but imagine what would happen if you were to fully modify a veyron.or the v12 twin-turbo?

[BOE140]

how on earth do you expect to "modify" a car that is worth probably double the price of your house? they have the best engineers in the world working for the better part of a decade to achieve those results. if you could find ANYONE that can modify one of the already most powerful cars on the planet, chances are they already work for bugatti. think about it.

[wutupmynig]

anything car could be modyfied if it is stock.if you know so much.you should know this

[audiboost26]

it would break.

[musteat8]

veyron is already modified with 4 turbo's with 10 radiotars and merc's v12 got twin turbo so it is modified.

[wutupmynig]

musteat8-you stupid bastard those cars are factory stock.you can modify any car there is always a way to add more power and speed even if it is already a amazing car stock

[mustspeedst]

what would you do next as a lead engineer?WTF:you already tuned the computer, already got force induction with cam and crank and most of the car is carbonfiber, magnisium, or fiberglass. i tell ur domeass what they going to do next get a job at corvette factory bitch.

[wutupmynig]

mustspeedst-Ima tell your domeass what theyre going to do next bitch.theyre going to add 4 more turbos 4 more cylinders and 4 superchargers and drive that shit full speed up your ass!

[IamKEIL]

the '02 C6Z06 Lingenfelter Corvette. 0-60 1.9 seconds. greates sports car ever made. top MPH does not mean it is the best

[poolmaster298]

i would personally like to see proof that the Sl65 beat the C6 Z06..cause sum ppl are gay like that and will just say what they wanna say and post up lies on the video

[poolmaster298]

lol wutupmynig...come on man...u still dissing on the C6 Z06?...the SL65 is governed to 155...and i highly doubt the one in this video had the governor taken out...

[wutupmynig]

SL65=215mph stock!how fast is the stock z06?...yeah dont answer that

[puckerzzz]

Again like i said the sl has a v12 in it and the stock z06 can reach up to 200 mph. And your right stupid fat ass luxury car thats why europeans are stupid.

[wutupmynig]

198mph not 200mph.stupid fat car that gos 215mph stock and that will leave the stupid skinny vette behind ;p...dont be to mad the z06 is great for the race track but thats about it

[kremecheez]

it wont matter what the mph is when the corvette goes from 0-60 in under 2 seconds tard

[wutupmynig]

the z06 is really good from 0-150mph but after that it does not do very good anyone who knows about vettes will agree.but for all you vette lovers o.k its the fastest car in the whole world.

[kremecheez]

yeh well everyone knows corvettes arent the greatest with high end torque. the fastest car in the world to 200mph is the venom viper then the buggati the lingenfelter is also in the top 5 the sl65 is not. (according to road and track)

[wutupmynig]

I see you dont have a clue what your talking about.everyone knows fully modified race cars are faster then stock cars.thats no big surprise.but let me tell you what happens when you race these cars stock.from 0-300kmh the SL65 reaches this in 31.9 seconds and the Z06 reaches this in 41.8 seconds.and incase you dont know how fast 300kmh is?its 186mph.

[Colemode]

Lol, not to get into this arguement, but when are people really going to be running for competition over 150mph with these stock cars? I say stock, but I mean cars not built specifically for raceing.

[Ken2234]

did the supra have slicks?

[wutupmynig]

In a performance test of 0-300kmh(186mph) the SL65 reaches this speed in 31.9 seconds the z06 reaches it in 41.8 seconds so tell me which car is faster?

[puckerzzz]

sorry about the double post

[puckerzzz]

Excuse me about 100+more horsepower and torque

[wutupmynig]

stock vs stock who beat who.if z06 only chance beating a sl65 is getting a shit load of modifications.what does that prove?it is not faster unless it is highly moded not a good match now a regular c6/z06 vs regular sl65 is a good race they will win depending on who has a better run basically equally as fast on a 1/4 mile anything over a 1/4 mile the sl65 will leave the z06 far behind

[puckerzzz]

The sl65 has a v12 in it. It has to have the v12 to keep up with the c6's v8. Now that is saying something. Benz had to put an engine with four more cylinders in it to keep up with a lonely v8. Take that for your stock for stock.

[wutupmynig]

lightweught race car vs heavy sport luxury car sounds even to me.dont feel to bad its even faster then the SLR on a highspeed race.nothing against chevy...z06 killa!

[wutupmynig]

keep up?you mean beat...///AMG all the way

[puckerzzz]

It didnt matter if that lingenfelter didnt leave early the SL65 still would have got smoked.

[andypotter111]

The sl65 is slower than a z06.... I've seen 3.6 for the z06 the best i've seen for sl65 is 3.8....

[wutupmynig]

only because 0-60 is faster does not mean it is faster in everything

[wutupmynig]

the sl65 beat the z06 in this video.stop calling the sl65 a slower car!

[puckerzzz]

It didnt beat the lingenfelter z06 did it. Even if the lingenfelter didnt take off early the sl65 would have lost.

[wutupmynig]

i know only a retard would say a stock sl65 is faster then a fully modified z06.but the sl65 did beat the regular c6/z06!and i dont see no one commenting about that.

[puckerzzz]

well considering that a stock sl65 has about two hundred more horsepower than a stock c6 z06 and about 250 more torque i would say that your comment is irrelevant.But yes the sl65 did beat the lesser powered c6 z06.

[puckerzzz]

Since the sl65 has about two hundred more horsepower and toruque stock than the stock c6 z06 i would say your comment is irrelevant. But yes the sl65 did beat the c6 z06

[wutupmynig]

in this video the sl65 beat the z06 so this proves to all the z06 fans that both of these cars are very even when it comes to a drag race.the lingenfelter ofcourse is faster it is a fully modified car and even then the sl65 put up a good race against the 1000hp race car.///AMG all the way

[betterdayzzz82]

sorry my friend... the lingenfelter in this video is not 1000 hp.....more like AT BEST 600 hp.... in fact its only a corvette with a lingenfelter heads and cam package.. .. infact its not even installed by lingenfelter.. hence the (built by 21st century muscles cars) and as far as the SL65 vs a stock z06.. the SL65 may be .01 faster that the z06 it is also about 100,000 more in price

[wutupmynig]

price is not an issue for the sl65 owner he can easily by a race car that will rape the z06 but i am saying both stock regardless of the price the sl65 is faster on speed.we are talking about a stock z06 vs a stock sl65 which is faster.not prices not fully modifies cars and not cars in the future!

[desmonater813]

which in case many of you don't know take these cars out on a mile drag The Lingenfelter will kill the Sl65 which in a car compition done by Road and Track can't even hit 200 mph while the lignefleter, which is a complete 70,000 grand cheaper than the SL65, can.

And for those of you who call this Sl65 a Vette killer

wait for the Z07, or blue devil (or what ever you want to call) to come out... It'll be given your Sl65 blue balls.

[desmonater813]

Allright lets look at some facts,Price for either car,Corvette Z06: $70,000, Sl65: 185,00Thats a complete price differental of $115,000 which would be enough to buy a brand new Lingenfelter,

[betterdayzzz82]

GOOD POINT!!!

[wutupmynig]

stock vs stock or mod for mod we are talking about which car is faster not more expensive!lingenfelter with 100+hp should race sl65 with 100+hp do you see waht i maen.besides its 100k more because MB ///AMG is not cheap and all the extra luxuries it comes with.and the V12 TT engine is around 50k alone

[Frylock350]

The things that's expensive IS the engine. What you think non-AMG SL's aren't luxurious :).

The Z06 is relatively cheap because the engine is nowhere near as expensive to manufacture. It still amazes me that Chevy got a pushrod truck motor to spin to 7000rpm.

[navyavi469]

7000RPM is fairly low. Your average redneck on a budget at the local drag strip can spin a traditional pushrod engine to 8 grand without much trouble, and he can throw a 200 shot of juice on top of it too.

[missota10]

u r so dumb an sl65 is 185000. a stock z06 is 70000. that right there is 2 differnt cars. a lingenfelter is 115000 which is a twin turbo 427 with 880 horse to the crank. with normal tires it cant hook up till 4th gear like in the video. u put drag sliks on it it does 0-60 in 1.9 and 1/4 mile in 8.4..... god u r fucking retared

[wutupmynig]

you want respect by racing a fully modified 1000hp z06 with a stock 604hp sl65 only because a regular z06 couldnt beat a regular sl65.like i said stock vs stock or mod for mod the sl65 is faster.z06 killa!

[wutupmynig]

the z06 lost to the sl65 once again!

[wutupmynig]

z06 killa!

[Wilddr805]

HAHAAHAHAH Looks to me like the SL65 lost to the Z06..not to mention aweful Vette Drivers as well. Vette still a better car....Sorry Germany...

[iTeamkill]

we know the merc is a better built car and easier to drive. but the vettes best advantage is the $60000 you save by not buying the merc. If you want a track car, get a vette, hands down. if you want a daily driver that acts like a race car, buy the merc.

[wutupmynig]

no the z06 lost to the sl65 by 0.1 but a loss is a loss and a win is a win so wtf r u cheering about?and about the lingenfelter z06 your only hope is getting a 1000hp modified z06 to race the sl65.thats like racing a BRABUS SV12 against a regular z06.

[donavonknight]

ZOOM!

It is the feature that allows you to follow the cars down the track and see who won and the 1/4 mile time.

And it would of made me say awesome video instead of who won????

[jclarkesbcglobal]

stage3z06>any sl65

[wutupmynig]

the linenfelter is the modified version of the c6z06 and other vettes.you have to remember that there are sl 600 and 65 that are moded by brabus,kleeman and renntech and these cars are way faster then stock.

[swtendo]

ya like the brabus SL600 with the Biturbo V12 730hp, 813 lb of torque right here on youtube with the top speed of 220mph i think

[GG87GN]

Nice car but for the money Craig and Larry could each own a vette!

[wutupmynig]

corvette killa!

[01Z06guy]

I though you siad the SL65 never lost in other videos? Obviouly the owners knew the SL was slower since they spotted him car lengths. And the Z06 ran him down anyway. And what do you have to say to the car owner, Myhardtop? You must get beat down by vettes alot for you to hate them soo much.

[wutupmynig]

did he win no.the first race he wasnt ready and hes take off was weak .outperformedby the 65.the second race he took off early.automatic loss

[frankpaws]

He is on every Sl65 thread, wutsupmybutt. For every loss, there is an excuse. In other threads, he said stock Sl can beat any modded vette. Even the Benz forums think this guy is an idiot.

[bridgeteheartless]

FUCK FRANK

[petelovesmaryjane]

in several test with actual race-drivers the vette won 4 of 5 races

[TheSkylineShopVancou]

I was watching this video loving the SL65, Until that Lingenfelter came on....The sound was just too much.

[Prussian84]

the best car has won

[MERCEDESrulzz]

merc best!!!

[Myhartop]

I'm the owner of the bkl Z who beat that Benz's butt. That car never beat me. .01 Benz beat the Z my butt, that is a pure lie. I ran low 11's to his high 11's. On the flagged race, he got 3cars and I beat him by 8. Yeah I moved about 8", but it wouldn't have matter. If you want a rematch, look for Carlos in the DFW area.

[swtendo]

lol dude.. not jsut ur race BUT many other races the SL 65 AMG has beaten the Z06 both year 2006 im srry the V12 Biturbo is too much for the Z i know ppl who own both cars and have witnessed both race at prof. trakcs the SL65>Z06 ask professionals urslef

[SimpleYetEffective]

That dude is complaining that the vette left early?...The AMG had a 2 car length head start,and a twin turbo V12. Looked like the vette smoked him regardless. Hell,the AMG only beat the stock ZO6 by less 1/100 of a second! SL65 AMG is a badass car,but I'd take the vette over it anyday!

[Ravecross]

let's see that souped up Lingenfelter vette go against a souped up Brabus SL. now that would be an interesting match. By the way, I'll take the Merc SL gladly over the vette without question.

[SimpleYetEffective]

In all fairness,I could never even afford to insure either of the two,much less purchase one! I am,however a die hard fan of american made V8 muscle,and have always loved vettes

[s10pickUup]

that lingenfelter was awesome.

[Lawrence818]

Hey you guys the thing about the SL Benz is that it's pimpin inside of it. Unlike all the other race cars it the classiest one probably the heaviest too.

[skyline0586]

for a luxury sports car teh SL65 is no doubt 1 of the best, if not THE best. For a dragstrip car, the best car there was the C6-Z06. For the price and lightweight of that car, u cant beat it. That heads/cam package Z06 will without a doubt demolish that SL. Still love the SL tho. Losing by .01 wit a STOCK z06, the stock z06 def has a chance of beating the SL if he can get a better launch good runs

[tdbenz17]

Great Video. I have an SL65 and it is without a doubt, the best car you can buy. I had the SL55 and test drove the SL65 and had to have it.

[jeffpaulin]

Why no shots of the scoreboard and ET's and MPH??

Would be more impressive if the actual times were posted.

[marino2481]

that lingenfelter is the sweetest car in the video it kills that sl

[swtendo]

ok so the 0-60 is not the fastest but the 604hp will smoke the car in the long run which is why the SL65 AMG won against every car in this long race and i think ur stuck in the 80s bro

[swtendo]

ya im not surprised the SL65 AMG owned all the cars it has 604 hp and 0-60 in 4.2 sec its the fastest car on the streets but ya nice vid

[desertls1]

You think 4.2 sec 0-60 time is the "fastest on the streets??" lol, where you been man, stuck in 1995?

[thearmedmonkey]

Hey! cars from the 70`s does 0-60 in less than that.

[GregKJ]

You must be talking about the 2070's...most of the 70's were lame. Late 60's to 70 were the years, but nothing really got into 4 seconds 0-60.

[EVOKEmotion]

i dont care how much faster the sl65 is, the Z06 is such a beautiful car.

[MarinerMercury]

i love the sl 65 ... it's a factory "drag race" car!

[podunkest]

Awesome Vid, thanks for postin, 5 stars!

[pitbull59]

about Sl 65 AMG Klemman performance ist better as Lingenfeltr

Germany car foreverrrrrrr

[schism427]

look for vids of klemman m5 Vs C6Z06...the new Z does not need lingenfelter to beat klemman cars.

[Ravecross]

forget klemman, if you want somethin wilder than what AMG has to offer, then go for brabus. but then again, why bother? we all know that the merc isnt really built for the drag strip. why waste all that technology?

[Curveball]

I love Lingenfelter performance. All great cars in the video!

[nickv11763]

you are talking about the Lingenfelter right

[nickv11763]

but you know if they keep the cars the same the z06 should win but not by much

[Flabernat]

Haha, I love how the only car that beat you in that video was the C6Z06, man o man do i love those cars, but to be fair, that Benz is crazy fast also, I'd love to see the rematch.
