Default who will be the next 8 second FWD street car?

with both outlaw shootouts coming up i was thinking exactly who has pulled it off.

tony palo
brian ballard
chris miller
johnathan reynolds
felix medina
fernando cuhna
TD autowerks (sorry didnt know the driver)
and now garry eng

very small and elite field that has accomplished making an 8 sec pass in one of these street fwd cars. who does everyone think will be the next one? i know theres alot of guys that are close and more that are planning to be right there.

Speedfactory's got my vote... Current pb for them is 9.04 and I've heard they switched to the billet 4272 from precision \

Can't forget Chris Treblic, If he can ever find some time to get it to the track again haha!

Miller is right, there are gonna be more 8 sec car coming up soon. But i think Keller might do it first since he is so close.

Kevin @ Speedfactory and InDub will probably both go 8's at the WCS if the track is pretty decent.

treblic gets my vote. keller ramey a lot of the guys that were getting real close seem to be taking a break...maybe they will be back out once the weather cools off again. lots of guys that are going quick before have stepped up to the 4272 from what ive seen so i agree with miller....probably another handful of guys before the end of the year.

soon you will have to go faster than 8.50 with a 72 or go 8.99 with a 67 to be considered "fast" haha
