This has been a fun read and opinions as expected run the gauntlet. It also proves that everyone who drives their car on the street (me included), no matter how wild, considers it a street car. Mr P I have to say your idea of a street car has been the most humorous to me. You have a body shell hung on a tube chassis but one of your criteria was that the fuel you run be readily available at "most" stations.

BTW, I do consider yours a street car, just like mine is.

I had an "informal contest"... wait.. scratch that, it was a damn street race with an E-55 and I was astounded how fast the damn thing was. Was able to fend him off by about a half car length till I hit the shift light in high gear and lifted at which point I was passed like I was in reverse.

Just wow. Neat cars.

I'm not sure which one of us was more surprised. The owner of the benz who was expecting an easy kill or me who was wondering what the deal was with the 4-dr in the other lane stabbing the throttle repeatably and dinking around.

Got a thumbs up as he went off the interstate and it took the old lady about 5 minutes to catch up in the Duster. lol.

In my opinion, real street car means you drive it all over, and when you decide to race it, you drive it to the track. Regardless of fuel type, tire size or amenities or lack thereof. This of course would assume the car is legal to be driving on the street, with proper tags, lights, mufflers, insurance, etc.

If it can function as my daily driver then to me it's a true street car.

If it can't pull daily driver duty but meets law enforcement requirements to be street legal, I'd consider it a street/strip car.

If it can't meet law enforcement requirements to be driven on the street legally, it's a race car.

I had a local cop pull me over ONLY to
look at my ride... I gave him the full tour of it..
he was impressed.. with the sound level and all..
I did ask if I needed to wear my shoulder straps on
my 5 point harness and he said I just needed to have
the lap belts on to be legal... as I was stopping
I pulled my shoulder straps over my shoulders.. just
in case... now I dont even do that
