What would you ask Ken Lingenfelter?

823

This weekend, due to an incredible right-place-right-time situation, I will be allowed to walk the hallowed halls of the Lingenfelter collection in Brighton, MI with a personal tour guided by Mr. Ken Lingenfelter himself.  I won’t get into the details here, but, I will hopefully have enough time in between ogling the exciting exotica, massive muscle, and vintage sports cars to ask Ken a question or two (This scenario is extremely unlikely, as my jaw will likely drop to the floor when I see his 959.)

Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE) has been around for more than 30 years, turning some of the most mundane performers into barn stormers.  As evidence of that, they once produced a Chevrolet Tahoe which was capable of a 5.1 second sprint to 60 miles per hour, as well as an astonishing .9 lateral G forces.

Ken himself is an avid can enthusiast, with many rare and exciting performance cars counted amongst his stable.  The Lingenfelter Collection houses a Lamborghini Reventon, an Enzo, an F40, a 288 GTO, the aforementioned 959, a Carrera GT, a 930 Slant Nose, a Bricklin Sv-1, a Delorean, A BMW Z8, a Saleen S7, A 2000 Mustang Cobra R (A personal favorite), as well as the obviously large number of Corvettes (including an early “fuelie”, a supercharged ’53, and a handful of Callaways).

Surely there is something that an inquisitive Hoon may want to know about this man, his company, or his collection.  Let’s hear them, and I’ll do my best to get answers.
