Today, John Lingenfelter is best remembered for two things: his ability to achieve mind-blowing performance without sacrificing everyday drivability, and his reputation for breaking performance records with his modified Corvettes. John Lingenfelter’s dreams are carried out now through his company Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE) which honors its founder not only by continuing to specialize in Corvettes, but also by developing vehicles with refined power, speed and control.
