One-of-a-Kind Lingenfelter Performance Engineering T/A Concept Car Readied for
SEMA Debut
Vehicle Combines Muscle of the Past with Technology of Today

DECATUR, Ind., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Creating vehicles with astounding
performance capabilities and "stop-in-your-tracks" curb appeal is nothing new
for Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE), and they've done it once again
with their newest concept car the Lingenfelter T/A.

Readied for its debut in the Nitto Tire booth #46115 at the 2009 Specialty
Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center,
Las Vegas, the Lingenfelter T/A utilizes "all the styling and muscle from the
past combined with the technology and elegance of today," according to Ken
Lingenfelter, owner of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering.

The vehicle, a modified 2010 Camaro with exhaustive engine and performance
refinements as well as custom-molded body styling, harkens to the muscle-heavy
'70s cars so beloved by enthusiasts.

"Lingenfelter Performance Engineering designed and built this vehicle with one
goal in mind - to celebrate, in a most pronounced manner, America's muscle-car
heritage," said Lingenfelter. "Just one look at its spirited design is all it
takes to realize Lingenfelter knows power. And a turn of the key confirms
that fact as all 650 horses start running."

First and foremost is the Lingenfelter T/A's power plant - a custom Racing
Head Service (RHS) aluminum engine block with an impressive 455 cubic inch
displacement. It features 4.155" bore Diamond 11.5:1 compression ratio
pistons and a 4.200" stroke Lunati forged crankshaft. Lingenfelter
Performance Engineering-brand CNC ported and polished LS7 heads and an LSX
FAST 102 intake finish off the engine, which produces 655 hp and 610 ft.-lbs.
of torque.

To assist the Lingenfelter T/A in handling that raw power, the car also
features a Lingenfelter 6-bolt LS9 twin disk flywheel and clutch assembly and
heavy-duty Driveshaft Shop halfshafts.

Body enhancements to the Lingenfelter Performance Engineering concept vehicle
include a dramatic new hood with a shaker scoop and blue keyed stripe. A new
front fascia borrows from the vehicle's inspired muscle car heritage, and
incorporates custom head lamps, grille and turn signals for authentic
detailing. The car's fender has a functional side extractor scoop and the
rear quarter has a leading edge wheel flair. Dramatic details in the back
again point to the vehicle's 1970s roots. Rear corners of the car have been
extended nearly 4 inches with a wrapped down stand-up spoiler. Custom-created
taillight housings nicely complement the package.

Wheels are custom designed 20-inch Honeycomb's with bright brushed aluminum
details and are shorn with Nitto Tires in size 275/40ZR20 fronts and
315/35ZR20 rears.

A custom-designed CORSA Performance stainless steel exhaust provides even more
torque for the Lingenfelter T/A concept vehicle, which is finished in an icy,
bright white with an electric blue stripe running from front to rear.

Finally, to complete the muscle car experience, bright blue woven vinyl seat
inserts and metal turned instrument panel accents highlight the interior. And
Lingenfelter badges, indicating the vehicle's authenticity as a certified
Lingenfelter creation, adorn the exterior.

For more than 30 years, Lingenfelter Performance Engineering has created a
matchless heritage of bringing astounding new capabilities to the world's most
sought-after sports cars. This legendary record of precision engineering
continues today, as the highly skilled Lingenfelter production team continues
to target design excellence in engine packages, superchargers and
high-performance aftermarket components that refine power, speed and control.
