For $26,495, Could This 2006 Pontiac GTO Lingenfelter Revenge Edition Get Your Goat?
For $26,495, Could This 2006 Pontiac GTO Lingenfelter Revenge Edition Get Your Goat?-April 2024

They say revenge is a dish best served cold, which is incongruous because today’s Lingenfelter GTO Revenge is one red hot car. Let’s see if this #2 of 10 comes with a price that demands redress.

You know, for someone who lives in Austin Texas, drives a car with BIODIESEL on the back, and closes his ad with a plaintive “Have a creative healthy day” the seller of yesterday’s sure kept his car looking like a Superfund site inside.

That, and the odd choice to snap the pics for the ad where the car looks like it had broken down on a bridge, colluded to give the big Benz a 65-percent Crack Pipe loss, even at its beer money price. What, you don’t drink beer?

Okay, maybe goat’s milk is more your style, and if so what would you say to one of the hottest editions of the last-ever Pontiac Goat: this ?

Let’s get all those names out of the way first since there’s more appended to this car than to any member of the British Royal Family. The first, Pontiac once was one of GM’s U.S. divisions. It went the way of Elvis when even GM couldn’t come up with a good reason as to why it was.

Lengenfelter Performance Engineering is a 44-year old maker of performance parts focusing primarily on GM products. The company’s passion for insane performance is exemplified in both its parts catalog and its owner Ken Lingenfelter’s .

Revenge Designs LLC was a Decatur Indiana-based maker of body enhancements run buy an Australian named Peter Collorafi. That Aussie connection (Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi) is an interesting bit of happenstance as we add yet another name to the pot, that being Holden Ltd, the actual maker of the base GTO down under.

Bring all those names together and you get this Pontiac GTO Lingenfelter Revenge edition.

Now, that base GTO was an interesting car, but it was never a hugely handsome ride, looking to some like nothing more in its day than a big-ass Sunbird.

This car tries—and in a lot of ways succeeds in overcoming that. The Revenge Designs bodywork massages or enfattens just about every body panel and the whole thing rides on huge 20-inch wheels rocking 245-series meats. Overall it’s aggressive and, based on the extensive pictures in the ad, the Torrid Red paint and all the trim look to be in as-new condition.

With a name like Lingenfelter attached, you can bet that this Goat isn’t all show and no go. The mechanicals have been updated from factory to match, or better that Revenge bodywork. Those improvements include a Magna supercharger on its 6.0 LS2, which is said to make it good for 530-bhp and 500 lb-ft of torque. The rest of the mechanical upgrades are described as a four-speed automatic, four piston front brakes, a stainless steel exhaust, and remapped drivetrain controller.

It comes with just a little over 19K on the clock, and a certificate of authenticity that this is #2 of the 15 built. I’m not sure they even built that many so it could be even rarer. The engine looks like it’s lived in the northeast for a while, but the rest of the car, interior included, appears to be in excellent shape. The dealer ad doesn’t mention any issues either.

What does it cost to drop all the names associated with this car? The dealer price is $26,495, and before you vote on that, I’d like you to take a look at . Ha, ha, ha, now that we’ve all had a good laugh at that one’s expense, let’s get back to this car. What’s your take on that $26,495 price tag for this Lingenfelter-enhanced GTO? Does that seem like a fair price to exact Revenge? Or, does this dealer need to name a new price?

You decide!

out of Lakewood NJ, or go if the ad disappears.

The F-body Firebird may never have featured a Hofmeister kink in its roofline, but you could pretend to be Mr. Hasselhoff in today's Knight Rider replicar, and that would be kinky. The original Knight Rider made the eighties bearable, while the new century reboot was so lackluster that it made...

Ford sort of invented the concept of the car-based pickup with the 1925 introduction of the Model T Runabout with Pickup Truck Body. Despite those auspicious beginnings, by the end of the ‘70s Ford had basically ceded the category to Chevy and their El Camino. Today's Fairmont-with-a-bed is a non-factory...

Easter may be over, but that doesn't mean cracking open today's egg-colored E21 wouldn't reveal some surprises. Will its price however, make you think the seller is cracked as well? Strangely, BMW's E21 never garnered the same kind of rabid following as did the precedent 2002, nor its successor, the...

The 356-based Speedster was famously dubbed the bathtub Porsche, after its upside-down bathing apparatus-like appearance. Today's 911 Carrera is claimed to have once been waterlogged, but would that make buying it mean you'd be taking a bath? Yesterday's witness protection program disguised had 66% of you both asking why the...

Soichiro Honda's fuel of choice in his youth was high-test sake. He marked his wedding by dancing naked, raced through a life-threatening crash and drove a car filled with geishas off a bridge. (Everyone lived.) Then he founded Honda and found his greatest success breaking convention. Yet here sits the...

When not fighting crime, Superman went by his nebbish alter ego, mild-mannered Clark Kent. The BMW 525i is likewise mild-mannered, although today's E34 is hiding something Supra. Despite that, will you find its price to be a crime? Under the sea! Under the sea! Darlin' it's better down where it's...
