Well over 30 years ago, that was fast. And factory original.... So if the factory says it's a legal street car, how can you argue that?

Wish I still had that one..

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.

Monte, you forgot about the nightly rebuilds it took to keep Eddie's junk running.

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.

do you know the combo

ci

comp

cam

-1 motor was a 526, 12-1, his cams are always "creative"

the pred engine is a 570something maybe. 12-1. his new combo needs a converter. the new combo blows right thru the converter. doesnt go much faster with 2 stages than just 1. he has done some testing and has hit new bests with just one stage but they were only 1/8th mile passes

... Because car-A is slower than car-B the owner of car-A explains that his is a "street car" and therefore should not be expected to be as fast as car-B. This reasoning fails because the owner of car-B invariably claims that his is also a street car and that the owner of car-A is just jealous. At the end of the day only one fact is known to be true.... car-A is slower than car-B !!!

And the worst part is now I can't figure out if my car is Car A or Car B? /

---

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

---

Well Dave, how many times did you leave your duster alone in a parking lot for a few hrs?

---

Well Craig, way too many times to remember.

---

Ok Dave you win, the duster is a street car and I must be paranoid, I wouldn't let that pup out of my sight for 5 min Is lotability a word?
