Passes in my book, I'd love a BB Daytona or Avenger. Where's the "in my dreams" smiley?

We all have our definitions of a street car. I like my setup and I REGULARLY drive it on the street to go food shopping, Home Depot, the Mall, visit friends, take my family to the park for a picnic, drive to the Mopar Nats and back......... To me that is a true street car,...one you drive regularly to places, other than the local car cruise and back.

I totally think that all cool street driven vehicles have a place and I respect them all. Way cool to have a rollcaged 8 second car that you drive long distances. It's also super cool to have a high 12 second car with full interior that you drive all over the place too.

Love em all!

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.

What is a street car, Hummm If you drive it somewhere and are afraid to park it and leave it for a while its not a street car, like at the movies if ya gota go out and check it every 10 min or...... your just paranoid

What does that have to do with streetability? The question wasn't asking about parking lotability!

I knew someone would bring that up. That turned out to be a cooling issue that let the motor run hot, thin the oil and basically beat the lifters out of it. Look, I am not the biggest Eddie fan, nor am I defending him, but his junk is fast and streetable. I don't expect the cooling issues this year, that he had last year. Eddie aside, what about the guy that won it, Larry Larson. He rarely had the hood up, never changed tires and has since ran in the low 7s and will probably run 6s with a killer tune.

Larry drove his old combo 555 12-71 when the streets were wet and snow on the ground. His and a few others are at the extreme end of street cars for sure.Still neat to see Larry drive a 100 miles,stage go low 8s high 7s and then drive out the back gate home.
