Did you buy the Z06 and then convert it or did you buy it already done?
How is the traction on it vs the E. If you jam your foot to the floor I'd imagine the Z06 would hook a lot better. How about cornering?

Saleen HAS a new Roomate
Thanks for the comments
I may get rid of the E but the market prices are terrible. I cant part for 50k. That fact helped me get into this for an incredible price considering the investment. It was much cheaper than the E was. Its a very different ride than the E. Im not used to it just yet to really compare. Heres a pic of both. The E seems so tall compared to it. The E is a much easier ride where this Lingenfelter is rough and violent. I love them both for sure. I just have this sickness for fast cars. I wish I could have picked up a cheaper habit.

I'm a life long Ford guy, so the Vette doesn't interest me at all. However, I think it's pretty cool that one guy has both cars so he can give us a true comparison. If my best friend (a Chevy guy) compared them, the Vette would be better in every category. If I compared them, the Saleen would be better in every category. lol. When Curz compares them, we will get honest results. I would really like to hear about them too, even though I know the Vette will be better in many areas. Just because it doesn't interest me doesn't mean I don't know that it is an awesome car. Congrats on being open minded. lol.

How did I know you would say this...and I agree !
The vette got a flat and just had it repaired. Thats one good benefit of runflats - no changing tires but it handled extremely bad with the run flat at 0 psi. After the repair I took it out earlier and played. Its very very fast considering the power and weight. No way it could ever be a daily driver. A stock Z06 could but not with this cam,tune, and 4.10s.
Not my ride but sounds the exact same
