Being fellow gearheads I thought you guys would appreciate this. I drove Dave Buschur's GTR this weekend into the 8's on 93 octane. No other Import has ever done this.

We made 4 - 8 sec passes. 2 x 8.7's, 8.8, 8.9 We also went 160 MPH on Saturday night. I can't wait to dial it in on slicks and knock a few 10th's off it.

What makes this really special is that this was done on M&H DR's (no slicks) and on stock manifolds.

Here's vids of one of the 8.7 passes. Sorry for the poor quality. Enjoy!

Oddly enough, I had the previous 93 octane record at 9.04 in my car. LOL

Awesome! That deserved a much better video than a vertically held cell phone.

That is scooting.
I believe I saw on FB that Dave was retiring/ selling his business ?

He was originally going to sell his shop however, the deal didn't work out so he's now out of retirement...lol He did sell the Shootout to D-Sport Mag owner Mike F and that deal is done.
