I don't get-on-here much and THANK people for a post .. but I will do that right-now ... I needed a GOOD  .. before hitting the hay.
Was it Hot Rod mag that had a yearly shoot-out in Memphis that featured FAST street-cars ?
Their "rules" were fairly short-and-sweet ... but one of the first ones was pump-gas-only.
Now is you think a true street-car should be "allowed" to use available-at-the-track-only race-gas ..... then you are a can or two short of a six-pack.

AGAIN, in the examply YOU used, what octane was Jimmy running in his GTX??? I bet it wasn't 91......... 
So what???  Who made Hot Rod "God"??? That's their sand box, so they can make their rules........
What do you say to me driving 8 hours round trip on race gas in a car with more than 12.5 to 1 compression??? Is my car not a "street car"?.....Did I not drive it far enough? ......Even an open chambered 383 or 440 can't be hammered on with pump gas with stock pistons, so ALL of the muscle cars Mopar built aren't "street cars" anymore??? 
My Max Wedge and A12 cars were built that way at the factory and they're 100% bone stock......so just because times have changed and good fuel is no longer available at the pump, it's no longer a "street car"??? give me a break! 
Why are you trying to force your views onto other people???

So, you're saying my A12 car is a "street legal" car and not a "street car" because it came from the factory with 4.10's, no A/C, over 10 to 1 compression with no quench, and a huge scoop making me not want to drive it across country and it not being able to run at WOT without good fuel in it???
What is my car??? please tell me, so I can sleep at night.......

Man all you guys need to lighten up. I mean come on! If it does not fit into your little pea sized view of a street car or street legal it's not. Lets face facts, every state has different qualifications to get a legal tag. So what is legal in MI or OH my not be in TX or AZ. I doubt anything is really legal in MA,NY and CA. But if you know the right people you can get the car tagged. With the above said. I will say this. We took our 68 Camaro with a 706 4 stages of N2O, water injection, clutch and liberty trans out on the steet. It ran consistant 6.60's at over 210mph. Drove it during the Woodward Dream cruise(3 miles and in traffic). Drove(idled) it in a parade that was 5 miles long took over 90 min to complete(we had to stop to put gas in though  ). Does this make it a street car? To some yes, I say hardly and I am one of the most giving(can not bring my self to say or type the "L" word) on cars and street legalness. So enjoy your little debate. Remember there will always be someone faster than you are, have a nicer car than you, have more money than you. Don't over race your wallet. Always try and be the best with what you have. Sorry for ranting just that this is topic that is SO over analized and been to death.

You guys with your 12 and 15 mile street-car "drivers" are "killing" me !
I saw MANY TIMES .. the KING of the street-racers(The Silver Bullet/Jimmy Addison) ... BEAT many cars that were CLAIMED to have been "streeters" .. but he took them out through traffic, by the police station AND out on the freeway !!
SOME TIMES as many as 50 miles ! .. His most famous "victim" was Andy Mannarino and his mid-9 second Camaro. Ole AM's motor was so loaded-up - he wanted to change plugs on the side of 696 at 2am in the morning !
B U T ...if you guys want to stick with your deal ... WHERE does all that shuck-and-jive end ? .. are you going to throw some plates on a Pro Mod car ?
You guys that have to drive a Muscle Car long distances to feel good about yourselves, or have to tell guys that their car doesn't fit your definition of "street car" are killing me........BIG DEAL......Your car can do what my wife's minivan can do......WOW, that's impressive.........YOU DA MAN!!!
.........and what octane was in Jimmy Addison's "pump gas" car???
I'm the same way.....I don't LIKE to drive my car for more than 15 to 20 miles.......so why build my motor to run on and put the crappiest minivan propellant ever known to man into my hot rod??? That's like putting a jet motor into a P51 Mustang......sure, it's more practical, but who wants practical??? It's just as dumb........ People walk past a sea of practical cars just to look at, listen to, and enjoy the impractical cars.........
Having said that, I HAVE driven a 19,000 mile, original, high compression Max Wedge Dodge from Tulsa, Oklahoma to Topeka, Kansas (4 hour drive one way) on RACE GAS, filled up at the track during an NHRA national event, drove around all weekend, filled up at the track again and drove home and even go rained on, just to prove to the idoits at home that the car could do it and WAS a STREE CAR even if it did run on race gas............so anyone that says you HAVE to run on pump gas for it to be a "street car" is just trying to make themselves feel better about themselves.......... 
BUT, to each their own.......I don't get on here and laugh at you because you like that (until now).......if that's what floats your boat, have at it...... 
I agree 100%,there are a lot of babys on here.Eddie's dumb a$$ has showed you can run pump gas,drive race parts for 1000s of miles.But who cares to me it is a waste on the parts and who cares at the end of the day.This post is for cars like Andy's,mine,bigtimeauto's,Leon's, the green Demon and on.Just because your wife want let you spend a $100,000 on a car that is as useless as mine don't bust my balls.
At the Nat's this year people said that no way was my yellow car a street cat.I drove it to and from the track,put about 300 miles on it.The same people with there stock (holyer than me)cars were on trailers and if they did cruze were running hot and vaper locking.

Basically what I was getting at was a street legal car is a fully inspected car and a street car is what the owner can tolerate.

I enjoy cruising on the street every now and then and taking the family to a car show or to get ice cream. To me these cars are annoying to drive long distance though, I'll hop into the Durango for that. And the only reason I run pump gas is cuz that's all I can afford.  Hoping to switch to E85 this winter. I also agree that anything plated, muffled, and insured is a street car.

I think alot of people want to define a street car because we all know alot of the real fast street cars are basically race cars with mufflers and tags on them. But if they have tags they are legal to drive on the street whether we like it or not. I am nowwhere near the fastest but I live within my budget and try to make my street car run good for what it is. And I love driving my 63 on long runs as I still have the stock bucket seats in it and they are very comfortable. And I love all the cool you get. It is no big deal for me to put at least 100 miles on my 63 on the weekend and sometimes that includes driving to the track. As was said there is always someone faster so I like to just enjoy what I have since I love this hobby.  Ron
