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!

A honest-to-goodness REAL streeter ?

11.99 ... and 20+ mpg !

I've got about 850 miles on my STREETABLE 68 Hemi Cuda and if it would hook it would probably be in the 10's (511 h.p. & 502 torque) Regarding gas mileage.....probably 15 gpm since I can't keep my foot out of it.

A street car is up to only the owner of the car and the state he drives in to decide all other opinons are nothing. Besides this has to be the most over done question

10's in a street car is fast in my book

I've come to the conclusion there are two types of street cars...hot rods with big cams and low ratios that are driven locally to drive ins and shows and "cruiser" type cars that can be driven on highways that are dependable and get decent milege. So i would say in the first category a time in the high 8s to low 10s sec range is pretty good. For a cruiser, i would say a time in the mid 12s or 13s would be good.

Street car Lamborghini Murcielago Hands down

68 dodge coronet 30,000 original mile car, big motor(n/a), super stock springs and pinion snubber.
best of 10.47@129 at around 2 tons. no bar, no electric pump,4.10 gear, dot radials,full exhaust to the bumper. only thing better would be if it was column shifted

My definition of a street car is one that you can legally drive on the street where you live, and not get a ticket doing so..

I could care less if i cant go 500 miles in it(would way rather take something with air conditioning and that drives comfortably)and that i have way less worry about some idiot hitting. I have driven 75 miles round trip, laid down 10's and driven it home, thats good enough for me.

As far as pump gas and race fuel, opinions vary. As long as the cops dont care what fuel i run, i would rather run high quality race fuel through mine, and be able to enjoy the extra compression and power that allows.Its not something that i would ever drive 15,000 miles a year, so i would never even consider the sacrafice of low compression pump gas on anything i would ever build, or even think about building. What are you really looking at even at 3000 miles a summer(that is driving a ton really)whats a few hundred bucks(if that) in fuel price difference(race/pump) in the grand scheme of things..nothing really..

Opinions might vary

if you drive it to the track and run faster than your safety equipment allows

i'd say atleast mid-9's and beable to drive a 12 hour trip (and ofcourse the stops for gas )

That's what I would consider. 10's and 11's are "quick" street cars

Real street car hmmm. Just go to the Woodward Dream Cruise in 2 weeks, and you will see every definition of a street car there is! I promise you that.

elvis went 7's and a 1200 mile trip

I think a car needs to run in the 9s to get my attention.I have very good luck with my Nos combos as nice street cars.I have several 8 sec true street cars I have bulit.Lenny
