Default Lingenfelter's World Record Holding Fastest Standing Mile w/ street tires 226.25 MPH

This video was shot May 7th, 2007 at Oscoda, MI - Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport formerly Wurstsmith Air Force Base.

The Lingenfelter 2006 ZO6 Corvette 427 CID Twin Turbo blasted down the 11,800 foot runway from a dead stop to a measured mile at 226.25 MPH. This is not a race car and has full interior and stock seats and air conditioning. The car still has the factory style indepent rear suspension. The car is fitted with a six point roll bar and 5 point harnesses.

This run beats our previous 2006 Motor Trend Shoot out run with a 2005 Corvette Twin Turbo that ran 211 MPH in the standing mile.

Amazing. That was the top speed of the old LPE TT back in 2000!

Any plans for a top speed run to beat the old Sledgehammer record?

Congrats Norm! In car video was cool, would have liked to see how fast that speedometer needle pegged 200. You need an export speedo that shows 300, unless you have one already.

I don't know if its me just tripping out but has anyone noticed the front bumper is bending during the runs? If anybody watches this again pause it at 2:38 and you will see the front lip is completely bent downwards....that trip me out.

Yes, I see it, I wonder if that's just the aerodynamics working?
