In ten YEARS on here, in going to 18 Dragons, two CAAs, numerous tech days, talking DAILY to owners on several Facebook Pages, NOT ONE TIME have I heard of a timing chain fail or stretch. I PERSONALLY know of perhaps 20 people over 100,000 miles and TWO ladies over 200,000 miles,no issues with the chain.

I drove the Graphite on the Dragon for five years, bouncing off the rev limiter often and WOT to 4500 rpm DOZENS of times a day - at 116,000 miles when the girl pulled out into traffic and my car was gone - it got 27mpg and ran fine.

If your chain is that badly stretched, why and how does it 'fire right up' at times? I'm not standing next to your car, but I don't buy this.
