I know Scott Gove went a 7.96 at The Dutch in 2010.

[Bench Racer]

The Honda is a stick for sure, don't know if a 4 or 5 speed. There is a video of it on you tube at Indy where he was in the other lane beside my brother during qualifying. The pass was nasty quick, David was running GT/FA and I think the Honda was already on the return road when David crossed the finish line lol. Don Jackson
