[QUOTE="Greg@SVTOA, post: 8618647, member: 1111"] Hey man, thank you for not getting all pissy at my replies, because that wasn't my intent. I like a good discussion, not a flame-fest. Drag racing's something I do a lot of and have done for years and years. I've chased after numbers where you get to within .0001 of the "goal" and there just isn't anymore to be had, and I've raced on many different types of tires and with N/A, blown and nitrous-ed combos. The red Cobra in my siggy I have had for 15 years, and that car has gone down the 1320 well over 1,000 times. :rockon: I analyze "technique" down to the last detail and I have to say in all candor and honesty that these numbers are very hard to fathom if you have a basically stock ragtop with F1's and 3.31 gears. I have buddies with Shelbys and several with Terminators that are excellent drivers and they don't get those kind of numbers unless the run's PERFECT and the launch is MUCH harder than anything under 2500 RPM. So anyway, I guess what I look at is if a guy has made at least two passes the same day with numbers that are pretty close, I'll take it that the results are probably accurate. I meant what I said about if people think you're lyin' then you probably are doing something pretty special. I've had people call me out when I post my "stock tire" results. It's nice when lots of people witness it, or, you race someone fairly well known so there's no question. Even in person people will still call ya out or question if you really are stock. I guess I am a skeptic in general because I know people who have ported blowers or nitrous bottles where the heater core is supposed to be, or any number of things an they claim to be "stock", but time and "friends" usually bust them out eventually. Sometimes they even slip up in casual conversation and you say "HEY! I thought you said you were stock man!" :kaboom: We suspected a cheater at the street drags (held at the strip) and shot his upper intake with a temp tester right after a run and the temps were um... "low" for a n/a car that just made a full pass... ;) It is what it is. Nice car ya got there anyway... :beer: [/QUOTE]
