Quote: I think a lot of cars are stretchin' it here and I do realize that everyone's opinion of a street car is different. PS and AC is nice, but not required. I think a lot of cars would have to drop out of this thread if you had to drive 30+ miles to a cruise night... Strap the kid in the back seat... and maybe drive it to work once in while. I think we'd be left with a bunch of 11 second cars.
Why do you say that? The turbo cars are the easiest to do that with and then run big numbers. I ran 1200+ miles with mine on drag week and flogged it at every track with only one cooling issue and it turned out to be a defective fan clutch. On the last weekend out, I drove it 2 hours to the track and ran the 10.10 while everyone around me unloaded 12 second trailered drag cars. I also took it to several cook outs with the kid in the back seat. Look at Chip's big E body. He does the same thing yet runs 9's.
