And it's another Michigan team to do it 
"In the wicked street car category, Ronnie Duke and the Hardcore Motorsports team came back down to Bradenton for the second time in a month, and this time they accomplished their goal of putting their 2002 Trans Am into the record book. In December the team set the mark for a small-tire LS1-powered street car at 8.11, 168, but car owner Duke wasn’t satisfied. The seven-second barrier had never been breached by a car of this type, and the team from Michigan was determined to do it. On Thursday, driver Jason McNeil accomplished the impressive feat when he piloted the small block-powered hot rod through the top end in 7.94-seconds at 176 mph. To make the team’s week in Florida complete, he backed it up today with a blast of 7.96 at 175."
