I say no cars will go 8.40s but will go very low 8.50s and I say it will be a Phil Mandella race car with Holton power, possibly with Modern Cylinder heads. It may even be a Dart!!! Whoa!!
Alright maybe someone may go 8.49 but I doubt it.

10.53 @ 125mph. 1.37 60 foot. Caltracs and Monoleafs, AFCO shocks.
