I personally don't like euphemisms and bs.

The LS1/I6T guys felt they needed to improve their unopened times, so they changed the rules. That's their bad luck; who are they to make or change the Irish language?

In saying that, I strongly agree with Mark, as some say theirs is unopened, but seldom mention what's been done to the rest of the car; ie, lightening, stall, drag tyres, shocks, removal of ancilleries at the strip, using vice grips as a steering wheel... and then turn around and claim the fastest unopened time? For the sake of apples for apples, just list all that's been done and enough of playing with words.

Absolutely. That's what is all boils down to - and what you said earlier - being honest about what's done.
