Pump gas, legal DOT tires and STREET LEGAL(no super-loud exhaust, huge scoop, etc)
Mine fits that category, but this has always been one of those debates for which there is simply no right or wrong answer.
FWIW, other than having added a rollbar and removing the back seat, my car is just as "streetable" (by my defintion) running 10.5s as it was when it ran 12.5s.

Fred. come on, street car? Don't ya think you are pushing it a tad? Here in NC the state boys will have a field day with that duster, even if they couldn't ticket you with something you wouldn't make it 5 miles before the next one would pull you over, so If you plan on coming down my way, think of spending some extra time with the locals & state guys and bring a ton of cash just in case, they don't except out of town checks
Nope all the locals all know me and most are car nuts. Add to that I have dealer tags which let me skirt nearly all the DMV rules. Plus my very close friend is a chief of police who gave me PBA and FOP family member cards . I put over 250 miles on it the first week I bought it. Even drove to the track and made pass
Man, It must be nice being Mayor But if ya come down south don't say I did not warn ya, If they nail ya down here don't drop the soap cause Bubba loves politicians

i think if it can scare you, its fast enough.
That about sums it up for me, the Arrow is a fast street car, but not a daily driver.

I'll tell you what is reallllllllly a street car.
My friends 72' Duster with 360, mild mild cam out of a dodge van with 904 automatic, 410 gears in a 8-3/4, radio, JC Whitney rear springs, bone stock battered front suspension, Mickey Thompson sportsman pro's, full interior all metal body drives from Brooklyn, NY to Englishtown, NJ which is about 55 miles away in Summer heat or Winter bitter, goes low-low twelves at 107 MPH. His Fathers Duster with a nothing more than a little more cam and steel ralley rims goes 12 flat.
All with junk parts. Low cost budget and just the right team of parts to get the job done. One of his most secreted tricks was and still is his Fathers 904 Transmission, because at the end of the day, all your power has to go through that gear box to reach the rear wheels.

Whatever you can tolerate to drive, is a "street" car. Some may not like it, or him, but Eddie drives that Duster 1,000 miles during Drag Week, beats on it at the track, it goes 7s. Anything you can drive 1,000 miles, is definitely a Street Car. You could not positively gaurantee your everyday driver would go a 1,000 miles without incident, so that is not a legit argument. My GTX was a low 8 sec car and saw plenty of street duty. Some claim a streeter must have air, ps, pb and a bunch of other stuff, my Challenger had none of that when new, so why does it need it now to be considered a street car.
