Lighten up and just enjoy your car and quit telling everyone one else there is soft , there is not a real car , NHRA did them a favor , they did not have to work on theirs . When I got my car it ran 10.60 from the factory and I have been working on it for a solid year . And really your vette is stock ? stock pistons , stock rods , stock cam ? stock tires ? you get the point it is not stock and it did not come that way from the factory.

For the record I bought my 08 CJ for 65k , I have put another 35k in it and it only runs a second under ( 9.30 ) and I work on it all the time just like you work on your car . When I put my new Patterson piece in it it will cost me another 30k and I will still have to work on it and worry about AHFS putting weight on it . So please just give the new car owners a break with the BS you keep throwing at us .

By the way I like your vette as Im a vette guy , 1984 c4 , 2002 z06 with a Lingenfelter blower , 2008 zo6 stock from the factory owned them all from day one new

Paul , everybody knows CJ can out run the Mopars and the Copo that why nobody will sponsor the class (LMAO) Just ask Jeff CJ's ran him out of ADRL
Thank you so much - finally someone is saying what I have been wanting to say

Get ready to be blasted - hell I get crap when I erase what I was going to say and replace it with ...........


BTW Jackie Alley and Andy ran the same at Fallon (9.82) and she ran 9.56 at Chicago where Bo ran 9.25 - no chance we are competitive

One more thing - we have worked our V10 a lot and continue to but not so we can run the blower cars


LOL
