Lingenfelter has been a respected name in the aftermarket community for over 46 years, churning out components and upgrade packages for iconic nameplates like Corvette, Camaro, and GTO. Even amid today's modern muscle car resurgence, Lingenfelter still provides ways to improve on the impressive performers as they leave the factory. And now, a 2018 Chevrolet Camaro in ZL1 1LE trim that was bought new by Ken Lingenfelter himself has been listed for sale on the auction website Bring a Trailer with only 955 miles on the odometer.
What Badges Do You Want?
The ZL1 coupe when equipped with the 1LE Extreme Track Performance package is the most aggressive Camaro from Chevy, capable of dominating the Mustang Shelby GT350R without breaking a sweat. That this example was bought by the namesake of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering should inspire confidence in bidders, and the Camaro does bear copious Lingenfelter badging on the sides, rear, and across the windshield.
Bone Stock
Surprisingly, this Camaro has not been extensively worked over to produce something better than what Chevy's engineers had in mind for it. Under the hood lurks the supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V8 in factory spec, which translates to 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. That powerplant routes grunt to the rear wheels through a Tremec six-speed stick shift with rev-matching and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential.
The Bonuses
Options included on the car as part of the 1LE package range from 19-inch forged alloy wheels to Brembo brakes and Chevy's Multimatic dampers that allow for ride height adjustment up front, as well as employing adjustable camper plates and an adjustable rear sway bar. On the interior, Recaro sports seats are heated, ventilated, and ower adjustable—perhaps the only concession to civility in the entire vehicle. Bidding already sits at $46,000 with six days remaining in the auction.
