650 HP Twin Turbo or 427ci?

If price was no object, which one would you do?

I thought you guys would get a kick out of this. Maybe one of you more talented guys could do a poll on this if desired.

You said price was no object, I want both................

I personally like the naturally asperated engines. I'd take the measly 427.

[EHStaley7]

Hell yeah, that twin turbo 427ci should kick it up to about 750-800 HP. I think Mr. Lingenfelter needs to create that beast.

[kevslionel]

I'd go the twin turbo route myself

[mgarfias]

Think I'd get the 427, then put a supercharger on it.

I think for nostalgic reasons I'd go with a 427. A factory 427 Z06
would be a very cool car. Maybe throw in a few convertible
special edition 427's, oh my I'm feeling faint just thinking about
it.

Build it GM and they will sell !

I'm leaning toward the 427.

At those prices neither, but the 427 would be sweet. A 150 shot of nitrous is always available for those times when more is never enough. The twin-turbo would be a torque monster, but I think the naturally aspirated would be more controllable/usable most of the time (depending on the cam). For those top speed autobahn runs, the twin-turbo would be the way to go.

Hmm, I wonder how my stock '02 on a 150 shot would be compared to the 427 off the gas... A 427 is certainly not in my budget, but the 150 shot would be.

Very good question, and a tough choice.
I have been fortunate to have driven the twin turbo Lingenfelter car that was featured in all the car mags (the silver with purple graphics car). I drove it for about 12 miles on I-65 about a year and half ago.

The power, handling, and torque of this beautiful beast was absolutely SCARY! I had it to 100 mph in a flash! Unfortunately, I did not have my V-1 on the test drive, and was leery of smoky.
None the less, I was impressed!

BTW, gave some serious thought of having my car sent to Lingenfelter for the TT package, until I told Mrs Zippy it cost $23,000!

Lingenfelter put a twin turbo 427 LS1 in a 2001 Sonoma with a Syclone AWD unit. It made 750hp. Check out the stats and pics here http://www.s-seriesforum.com/forum/s...?threadid=2059

There is no such thing as too much power.

FOUR TWENTY SEVEN all the way baby ! There is no replacment for displacment .

I would go the 427 route - tradition plus the simplicity of cubic inches vs complexity of twin turbo set-up...

I'd go for the naturally aspirated 427. Gives me plenty of power without having to use Nitrous.
