Just curious about where or when most people would "draw the line" so to say?

Creature comforts? Gas milage? Driveability?

Example.
I have a friend with an 87 Monte SS with a Bill Mitchell SB 427, 13.5 to 1, aggressive solid roller, 4.10's 4000+k converter,.. ect, you get the idea,
no a/c or heat, fiberglass trunk and hood. Full interior. More or less.
He tells me it's 100% streetable.

Car runs low 10.30's-hi 10.20's on motor.

I would say it's VERY borderline at best being on a steady diet of 110 fuel and Maybe 5-6 mpg at 50 mph.

I drive my WE4 on the street once in a blue moon but that doesn't make it a street car.

IMO just because you CAN drive it on the street doesn't make it a street car.

 

street car - car that can be driven on the street without every damn head being turned and being pulled over by every cop - street car

 

if it has plates,and a inspection sticker...mine's a streetcar...all i have to do is quick disconnect the chute and go.

btw...your friend with the monte...is it blue?i know a guy with a quick blue one up near NN area...bobby.

 

a street car is something you can honestly take on a 300 mile trip without a car trailer behind you and you not being scared shitless the whole way.


i drove 400 miles to durham NC earlier this week

... but it was definitely a little rough on these bald ass DRs

 

If you can take it in for inspection 110% sure it will pass, then its a street car.

 

A street car is going to be based on everyones own opinion. Some people would put an exhaust on a car and say.. damn this shit is annoying. Im only going to drive it on weekends.. And some others would go all out.. no ac, slicks, skinnies, race seats with 6 point harnes, no radio.. ect ect.. and be just as comfortable. It's all up to your own interpretation.

 

I consider a "street car" to be a vehicle registered for use on public roads with valid tags/registration.

Streetable doesn't equate to comfortable, reliable, or overly safe; if it were, my car wouldn't be considered streetable

 

Its hard to draw the line in todays world because there are plenty of 9sec street cars out there.

 

where your insurance isnt outrages - street car

 

street car= car...on the street...


some people say "street cars are supposed to have safety features...not stripped interiors and roll cages"...

i'm gettin my cage this month
