Big A Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 The can of worms you enjoy opening. - Ligenfelter > IPS. Any reasonable person would agree. You guys put some purchased parts together (not burning the car down this time, thankfully) vs. a company that develops their shit. That said, congrats to Jason and Mark for both having fast cars that are running well. Didn't IPS build a custom TT vette before that might have caught on fire? Anyway +1 on amazing cars and times there Jason and Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbotrio Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Didn't IPS build a custom TT vette before that might have caught on fire? Sure did We didn't manufacture the fuel-pressure regulator that failed, but we most certainly built the car. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 What you dont realize Joe, is that LPE doesnt do *all* their development. Just so happens LPE TT kits are *nearly* identical to APS, the reason is a gentle man named David Inall (not sure how the spelling on the last name is). David is the current lead engineer at air power systems, and is one of the best minds in the turbo industry, remember incon? They also didnt *develope* a drivetrain to put in that 288k car, it ironically was built and designed with RPM which is who we have had help us with some of the drivetrain. See the pattern it! (and by no means am I implying that what they did engineer is not top notch, as well as their innovation because that again is not arguable.) Like Jeff said, we are not Ligenfelter never will be. Nothing to argue about there. But its like Brian mentioned its nice to see other people testing the boundries, it only benefits the whole community. Back to the race day, Big congradulations goes to David Buschur and his car, just awesome! We have a lot of videos of the car im sure will get hosted! Jamies car is just spectacular and its power is unreal, mearly the sound of the car doing a burnout made me grin. Im certain they will get the car dialed in, it was insane watching the car go down the track! Cavins first pass was a good shake down, and it was unfortunate the pipe blew apart after the second burnout! We will have it fixed ready to race again hopefully on saturday! He has a great grasp on the car! Hope to see everyone out at CR day and other track days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPFSTheFett Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I must say this track rental was the most amazing track day I've ever been too. Here is a list of the cars New Porsche 911 going low 10's @ 145 New Porsche 911 going high 10's @ 140 That Sweet ass Evo going low 9's @155 Jamies soon to be 7 second Supra Cavins badass 1krwhp Supra Then both Z's Plus there was a 11.5's @ 127 neon and a bunch of other just good running cars. Hell there was an 11 second Caliber! It was like every car there ran 11's. It was like the stars aligned to get all those cars there at a random track rental and it was amazing watching all the cars run. My favorite to watch run was that Evo. Mainly because we were going back and forth beating each others times, then my tranny went out and I couldn't catch up. I still had the top MPH at least! lol Of course Jamies launch on slicks was sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDHG940 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Thats crazy can not build your own car neither drive it? no offense thats funny as fuck. I love it, half the people posting about cavins car will never own anything half that nice or fast. If I had the money I would buy a built car of that quality, the car is fast as fuck and about as clean as you are going to find. I have no problem keeping my hands clean and having someone else do some work on my cars. Kenny, if I remember correctly, I have seen you in some t type or GN which are all automatic and take the skill level of a 2 year old to make a pass down the strip with. I follow him home form ips last night and all pulls were 2-4 striping the highway to around 120. No swapping paint with the walls on 71 and in one piece, drove it fine.

boosted98gst Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I never said anything about having someone build a car, but whats the point in having a car built then having someone drive it, You dont see anything wrong with that? I am not being a "hater" blah blah it was just funny when someone said he does not even drive it. I am not on here to brag about what I have and what cars I own this and that.

LPFSTheFett Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 And I personally could careless what LPE puts out. 99% of all the cars they make don't get raced or driven at all. Norms car is a one off LPE car that probably has 400k into it. The car has only ever seen like 30 street miles and is only ever driven at track events. I'd like to see any other Twin Turbo Corvette pull off 30 1krwhp dyno pulls, thousands of street miles, consistant high trap speed passes and have the motor still be alive. I'd love to see it. I can drive my car across country if I wanted to. And your absolutely right, IPS isn't LPE. LPE woulnd't have stayed late numerous nights till 1am, 2am, 3am etc to get the cars ready for track days to turn around and wake up 2-3 hours later and have several employees go to said track days with the cars. As far as their own fab work, we paid $15k for the APS twin turbo kits and IPS fab and installed countless upgrades to fix the kit to work properly. Why do you not see more 1krwhp twin turbo APS Corvettes running around?? Because IPS has two huge in house specialty items that they made themselves that nobody in the country has to fix problems that nobody else can solve. Oh and IPS had a LPE TT car in their shop a few weeks ago with the exact same problems we were seeing from the APS kits. So why is it so magical that you don't hear about problems from owners of LPE cars, because the cars aren't raced. People build the cars and put them in their garage until they are tired of looking at them and then turn around and sell the cars for huge losses. I know of a few LPE C6 TT's that have sold for less then 1/3rd of what the cars have in them. Mark's gotten offers for over what he has in his car. Maybe that wont be the case 10 years from now, but that LPE TT 10 years from now sure isn't going to be worth much either. So your right LPE isn't IPS but sometimes get MUCH more going with a smaller shop that actually cares about you and your car. LPE could give two shits less if they ever build a car faster then mine, and why should they. They'll get their business. That's my rant.

996gangsta Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 In for Cavin putting it into the wall or running 14s. Keny why don't you stop running your mouth for once and actually back up what you have to say. You should bring your 8second 6speed car out to the track on saturday and I would like to see your first few passes, sense your such a experenced driver and have accoplished so much it shouldnt be a problem, thats if you even have one...oh yea you crashed your r6 going 10mph....you stupid bitch....

He was on the rev limiter way before the traps unfortunately as it would have been great to see what it would have fully put down. He is hoping to make our Oct 3rd rental as I have a spot reserved for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPFSTheFett Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Thanks for all the compliments! It's been a long hard road and it's certainly been worth it! Mark and I are heading to RPM tomorrow to rebuild both transmissions so we can be ready to go on Saturday! Hopefully they will prep the track real good, I'd love to get my 60's down and maintain traction going down the track to push for an 8 and 160+ traps. I had a few passes that I just couldn't get to come together. Literally spun the entire 1/4 mile because I lost my momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
