That was a thrash thread on the bullet ... You must admit when I start a thread it gets action.

Although I doubt it's a world record, and don't really care, I agree that the way people get upset and trash talk about it is silly.
I guess that's part of posting on the Internet. You get all kinds of responses.

But to a real enthusiast who loves the sport, I see a car with an expensive engine package and a chassis that is lacking. You're at minimum a half second off where you should be optimizing that set up and getting the chassis sorted out for all that power, and the fact you only ran it once shows you really dont care to optimize the set up. Not sure what friends you lost or what respect you gained, but no drag racer is going to swing from the nuts of a car that traps 170 and only goes 8.4 lol. But it's obvious you're no real racer or enthusiast, you are all about that dyno number and trap speed to be able to brag to less knowledgeable people. And that is all fine and good, just don't get online with your chest poked out strutting around and expect people that know a thing or two to suck you off. Just stick to bragging to Honda kids.
It was actually a budget build, eagle crank and rod, cathedral port head, nothing really special about the engine at all besides a decent block & Intake manifold. This was my back yard build, custom one off turbo kit. Built 5 years prior to proving it at the track, had someone call me out for $$ so I showed up and layed it down. The fact its the fastest corvette in canada and holds the current IRS record was just icing on the cake. I have three kids and a business to run, not much time to drive 2 hours to go race at the track. We prefer to settle our scores on the street.

Some people race for fun, and couldnt give a **** about turning a car into a drag car...and lets face it, a C5 would be a great all rounder and turning it into a drag car would destroy some of that
I agree 100%. I would love a street car that goes 8.4 at 170mph. I'm all about driving my crap whenever and where ever I want.

Talking

way to go Jaffro, its amazing how much $$$ has been spent and how many guys have no faith in their builds ....and how many guys have packed it in. I guess that's what happens when you go to the wrong shop. With the numbers your starting to put up...I suspect there will be a fiew more retirements coming LMFAO. NON PULL BESIDE ITUS, its the latest epidemic here in the GTA. If anybody has a cure, please let us know.

Dam people got the HATE on you boy! Especially on the YB ha ha. Either way, I would be happy with a 8.4 at 170, that's ****** fast.

On that note, I am building a turbo LS street car now, that has an IRS I swapped from a different vehicle. I already know it will be far from a dialed in drag car, which is fine with me. If I could break into the 150's I would be exhilarated, 170's though...christ

I doubt any of this happened because of your awesome world record breaking car, Most likely because of the fact that you were just being you.

Most people don't call it chest pounding when your record isn't a record They call it pud pulling! Nobody wants to see or hear you pulling your pud!
A record would require everyone to use the same dyno with the same settings at the same elevation and same temperature and humidity and so one.
Like I always say, Shut up and drive and let the car do the talking....That's all people care about, Leave the pud pulling to the monkeys at the zoo!

PS Don't be so proud of all the views your video gets... what was it 300 views in the last 6 months??? Some lady laughing while wearing a stupid mask got millions of views in less time, Your view counts don't mean ****

Sounds like you have some fun toys up there! Not much into dyno numbers, but the 8.40's @ 170 in the turbo car is impressive with an IRS. Is that the 6 spd car you are talking about in your sig?

Yes the car was six speed and ran 9s, but now has a TH400 and went 8.4@170 on my first full pass. I am going back with a fresh tire to shoot for 7s
