Although there is no monetary gain for having the quickest C5, fbody, etc etc with bolt ons, There is a great feeling of accomplishment and well being when breaking multiple records
It was a personal goal of mine and I achieved it.
Unfortunately there will always be non believers out there. People who claim to be friends with GM engineers, studied physics in college, or raced for 25 years. Now there are some problems which arise from that- 1.)Lack of experience with a certain make/model. They haven't put the time or effort into getting the most out of their car or one like mine.
When you're sleeping, I'm practicing my driving or finding ways to go faster. Problem 1 leads to problem 2- People often place a "cap" on certain make/model's times. So as soon as someone breaks that record, those same people can't handle the facts and automatically call BS..
Now answer me this- If multiple 4th gen LS1 stock internal Fbodies have been down into the 10.60s-10.80s & have trapped 122-124mph, then what's so hard to believe about my stock internal C5 achieving those kinds of numbers? I rest my case
