Sort of depends on what you consider a "street car".
To me a "street car" would not require a roll bar, and be something with all the seats front and rear that you can put all your friends in and cruse around in.
On the other hand there is the "Street Legal car" which is really a racing class where the car would be "Legal" to drive on the street. The Legality of "Street Legal" varies widely.
I just don't care to have to climb around roll bars (with door bars) and cages, sit in "race seats" with 5-point harnesses, and have to wear sfi spec clothing to drive a "street car".
It is not just the rollbar/cage, but all the other regulations / certs that have to be kept up to date, like belts every 3 years, if you are going to race your "street car" at a track.
If you want to go fast at the track, it is likely better to just build a "race car".
100% disagree.
We all pile in the car and go for ice cream fairly regularly. Hell, me and 4 friends got in the car and left the track to go to breakfast at the little town just down the road because we didn't want to unhitch from the trailer! The chassis shop that built the bar made sure the back seat fit and things like the rollup knobs worked fine. The only compromises I have made with the car is the rollbar and the spool in the rear. I absolutely did NOT want a racecar that gets pulled in and out of the trailer and only runs for a quarter mile at a time! We've put over 7,000 miles on the car since I put this engine together.
