I'm not saying that I would have to see it to believe it, but you at least have to show the edges of the time slip. A cropped timeslip, clean background to make editing easier, and questionable characters is more than enough to prove "questionable doubt".

If he wants to prove that it's not a fraud, he's going to have to take another scan of the slip and let us put our magnifying glasses up to it.

PS - I'd like to credit you for a serious accomplishment, but I am skeptical because the truth would be just that... A very impressive and serious accomplishment.

this is exactly why I wasnt gonna make this post. I suppose I could put up a video of that run and you'd still call me a liar huh.

ok this is no doubt going to ruffle some feathers but i finally got my LT4 powered '85 GT to the track I made 3 runs and this slip is my final run as i got booted from the track for not having a cage I'm car #61 in the left lane. The 2 previous runs were a 11.67 and an 11.24. The improvements came because this was my first time ever at a track and I'm still getting used to my car. I also beleive there is much more room for improvement as I get better with the car and get all the bugs worked out. for the record NO power adder was used these runs were naturally aspirated and no nitrous. and for those who doubt the slip you can ask the people who have ridden in it as to how fast it is, also to quote FieroX "F*** the naysayers cause they dont mean S***" right. I actually hesitated about a week as to wether i should even post this but i figure there are enough Cool people on this forum that would love to see it, That i'll endure the flames. anways ask questions and I'll answer. Also I've already started on my rollcage cause I HAVE to get back to the track!!!!!!!!

edit: spelling

i would hope your time slip is real, but it has too many problems with the times. you need something better than a 1.60 @the 60 and something better than 7.4 in the 1/8th to run in the 10s. i see it as a 11.6? something by my figures. whic is still good numbers. its real hard with a 4 speed and street tires to run those numbers, i am not saying it cant be done, its just "real" hard!!! do you have the orginal time slip ?just scan it as is.

GT-X AUG 30, 11:03 AM
I really have no reason to fake a timeslip cause I really dont car if my car is the fastest i built it for the sole purpose of it putting a smile on my face everytime i hit the gas, and thats exactly why I shouldnt have posted but for one stupid instant i thought there might be some people who would like to know. And, No. you will see no other proof. as i've no need to post more proof than that slip. if you dont belive that, fine. but stay out of my thread so it doesnt end up goin down in flames.

Hey Tyler, realize you don't care to take the proof any further, but a digital cam shot of the time slip un-cropped is sometimes the best proof. They can be faked, but it's extremely difficult and consumes a lot of time.

Here's a slip that I happen to have:

There will always be people that doubt what you say, nothing can change that.

Personally, I don't care about the times. Having the fastest Fiero for me just doesn't matter. Regardless, I think you have a sweet car with a sweet engine. You are doing what you want to your car and all that matters is how big your grin is when you drive it. Nice job on the car!

being an advancing photoshopper... i would like to see the actual slip scanned... not a cropped out copy... i realize it probably makes the numbers easier to be seen with a nice white background but i think you could shut up all these naysayers by posting a pic of the timeslip un-cropped...

also video if you have it...

by the way... great job on your car... got any new pics? I could put a nice sig together for ya

At the 1,000' mark his ET was 9.716 sec. His ET at the 1/4 was 10.678 sec. That means he traveled 320' in .962 seconds. There are 3,742.2 .962 seconds in an hour and he ran 320' in each of them for a total of 1,197,505' or (divide by 5,280') 226.8 mph average in the last 320'.

Compare that to the numbers of his competitor. He ran a 9.405 at the 1,000' and a 11.294 at the 1/4 for a difference of 1.889 seconds. There are 1,905.77 of those in an hour times 320' for 609,846 divided by 5,280' equals 115.50 mph.

Something is definitely not right with this unless you want us to believe that you were running over 225 mph average speed the last 320' of the run.

You can fake the slip but you can't fake the math unless you do it a lot better than you did here. The reason I noticed this is because an old rule of thumb is that if you travel 300' in 1 second that's 200 mph (actually 205 or so, but it IS a rule of thumb not an exact law). When I saw that his last 320' was in LESS than 1 second and that would be an average speed of the last 320', I smelled something very wrong.

You know, when you first posted I was glad to see that somebody with a V8 finally posted some slips. If this is what you need to do to gain some attention, you really need to get a new perspective on life.

The slip may or may not be real. Maybe the clocks malfunctioned. I don't really care. I just know that you didn't run that last 320' in about .9 seconds.

Also, asside from the fact that the numbers have been so obviously copied and pasted around on that scanned image, look at the speeds and times on the slip.

At 330' the other guy was already 1/10th of a second ahead of X, by the 1/8th mile mark that lead had expanded to 0.22 seconds and the other guy was doing 3.98 mph faster than X. At the 1000 foot mark the other guy was now ahead by 0.311 seconds, almost a full third of a second faster and only 320 feet from the end of the 1/4 mile. Somehow X claims to have picked up 0.927 seconds in the last 320' of the track, turning a 1/3 second deficit into a 2/3 second lead. I don't know about you, but gaining a full second on someone in 320' of track is pretty darn impressive.

And, lets look at the speed gains from the 1/8 mile to the 1/4 mile points: X managed to gain 44.75 MPH in the 660 feet between those two points. It's been too long since I took physics, but I bet someone out there with the smarts can calculate how much horsepower would be neccessary to do this feat.

Again, this is so obviously photoshopped one has to wonder what the intent was to offer it here in the first place.
