    In no way am I doubting the strength of our shortblocks, just ZZP's overall credibility.

    IRCC, that 8 second car didn't hold up too well.

    Again, why does everyone always jump and say, "HAVE YOU BUILT AN 8 SECOND GP?"

    The validity of a statement should not be affected by who its coming from.

    Same reason someone with 21038403298324 posts shouldnt always be trusted versus someone with "only" 200.

    That 8 second car is holding up just fine..? They used the same short block over the years until just recently they switched to one of their built blocks. There is not much else that can be done with the car, so it will be street driven a lot more next year...

    X2 and I recall someone saying on CGP that he had taken his son out for ice cream one day and it behaved fine on the street? I am not 100% I could be wrong but I am far to lazy to find it.

    Not sure if Tim ever took it out, but Matt drove the car home when they first broke into the 8's. Just this year Matt took it out on the street with his kid to get ice cream. The car has pretty much hit its limits but is still streetable. Matt just bought a monte carlo not too long ago that I think he will be building a rwd setup in, just not sure when.
