"The stock 6.0-liter V-8 thumps out 345 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque—respectable numbers—but once the makeover is completed, the power and torque levels are outlandish: 700 hp at 5200 rpm and 740 pound-feet at 4600 rpm. That's more than the 493-hp Mercedes S600, the 550-hp Saleen S7, and the 650-hp Ferrari Enzo Ferrari."

at $125G's for a fancy pants pickup, Im sure there wont be a whole lot of competing.. unless you live next door to Master P or somethin.

Now put that 4WD in the Lingenfelter Vette and you got me sold.. in like 20 years.

It looks as if the LPE Escalade may join genital piercing and Toyota's new Scion brand on the list of things we just don't get.

What a shock that once John Lingenfelter died, they veer off and do escalades. Thats a shame.

This is not straight from the factory. It was done by Lingenfelter.

Look at the date of this article. It happened way before he died.
