Posted it on Reddit but got a bit of downvotes as I guess people thought I was BSing. But Frontier confirmed my gametime in a ticket. 388 Hours. http://imgur.com/NNEJJz2
Is this a record? I wasn't intentionally chasing it at first but as I like to be a completionist while doing so in the fastest way possible, I grinded the snot out of the three ratings. Here is some more info below - I promise I'll have a guide to do all this in a week or two!
Oh and I bought an Orca, as required for such achievements.

Obligatory Screenprints from Imgur with my Statistics: https://imgur.com/a/9odJC
Note: Trade Rank was derived primarily from missions from Robigo so its not reflective in Trading stats.
An extremely satisfying Decal Screen: https://imgur.com/cpCX5On
Total time played, 454 Hrs (5hr/Day) was extracted from ED-Logs and is unofficial (perhaps /u/frontier_support - is this something I can confirm via ticket).
The hours per day is high but I probably multi-task played WoW for a bit of it, other than when grinding Combat.
Why? I enjoy grinds. I especially enjoy boiling grinds down efficiently. I actually enjoy playing games this way (Ref: My WoW Accts with 12M gold, 23K+ achiev pts).
I had posted my strategies for each category of Elite here:
Exploration: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDange...sp_yes_core_and_a_ton_of_neutron_grind_elite/
Combat: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDange...get_scan_shoot_shoot_shoot_boom_combat_elite/

Most of my credits came from ALD Rank 5 HazRez/CNB Bounty Hunting which will be nerfed soon if not already.
I still have some work to do for the faction ranks and that ugly looking mole of a CQC rank, but I think I will take it easy for a bit. I'm actually NOT burnt out by this - Elite is a pretty calming game when not being interdicted by annoying NPCs. I'll be happy to answer any questions you guys might have! I am looking to write a n00by guide to help new players build a decent credit base and work towards their Elite ranks.
Ninja Edit! Of course after doing all this grinding to Elite, there really is only one last thing that must be done.... http://imgur.com/zWAhABj
