Rofl..
this thread is hillarious.. its like a giant pissing match.
In the end here is how I see it..a simple REQUEST for SAE #'s would have been much better than my graph with a BIG RED BOX saying uncorrected and rehosted...

I pulled 343 without a tune and Corsa's. I don't think corsa add's much....
As for the rest of the posts, it really got out-there considering a red-square was put on a picture of a dyno sheet.

In my area there are ALOT of people who drag race their vettes. Not to mention street race.
And you are right, the 1/4 is a barometer for speed, how will you know how your car has responded to mods if you never go to the track or dyno? I'd say the majority will go to the track with their cars.

Around here as well, quite common to see late models at the strip. We have the Corvette Challenge events at Englishtown (sometimes over 120 Corvettes drag racing at once) and I have quite a few friends with C5s/Z06s and even C6s that drag race regularly, how about 10s NA with a good heads and cam package, independent rears and all.

The real question however, is who cares about HP, I care about ET.

Lets all fondle ourselves, watch old corvette commericals in our leather corvette racing jackets, flag hats, all the while jerking it to the fact that we burned someone on a 2hp typo. OMG, IT'S THE DYNO POLICE!!!!

What kind of band wagon? Big horsepower? Is that corrected or uncorrected? I guess I've been corrected!

Nope, it is well within reason to ask for SAE corrected numbers.

You're right. You also forgot: ..............weekend playthings for the masses who are in a mid-life crisis!
I'm sorry - I can't help myself - this thread was MAN-tastic!
