I think a lot of cars are stretchin' it here and I do realize that everyone's opinion of a street car is different. PS and AC is nice, but not required. I think a lot of cars would have to drop out of this thread if you had to drive 30+ miles to a cruise night... Strap the kid in the back seat... and maybe drive it to work once in while. I think we'd be left with a bunch of 11 second cars.

As stated before , I guess street is subjective. I don't drive my car much on the street , but I can when I want to. My car never had a/c or power steering , but the heater kicks ass and all my factory stuff works.

I had thoughts about removing my AC, PS and Stereo stuff to try and get below my 4200#, but I decided I would accept a slower timeslip and not suffer when driving it. Without the AC - I would have to park it for the AZ summers. I can't show up for work smelling like I ran a marathon.

I love driving my 63 and I can drive it as far as I want to. Its a 90 mile round trip to the track and it was a 180 mile round trip to Carlisle this summer in 95 degree July heat in Md. But like I said I love driving my Mopar. Ron

Well our street car has been 10.20's on pump gas. Weighs 3800lbs has a/c and an overdrive and is as quiet as a mouose. No power adders either. Jeepmon can attest to most of that. We can drive it anywhere on any grade of fuel. Someday it will have some real tires on it and hit it with some nitrous and we will see what it is capable of. Horrific 60' times but it does ok getting down the track. It meets the OP's criteria. It can go anywhere or sit in traffic and never get hot. Can cruise the highway at speed with ease as well. It is raced on the same junk tires it drives around on as well.

I figured the PS, AC thing would come up. I never use the ac in my daily, why would I want it on my hot rod?

My Dart Sport has been a best of 10.24 at 132mph on pump gas. Definately not as fast as some of you guys. It has a full factory interior and mufflers. I street drive the car, slicks and all. Wife doesn't care to ride in it as much as she used to though.

Went four rounds with the 727 slipping. Then I had my shoulder surgery redone, so I ended the season early...

Im not saying it has to have AC, etc. Im just saying that is really a true streeter if you have all that (if it came with it orginally). Street car is a street car.

However, the saying if it is tagged/insured it is a street car is a farse. There are plenty of race cars that you can do that too.

When I lived in Colorado I drove my Barracuda to and from the track (60 mile round trip), and the car had to pass Colorado emissions (car strapped to a dyno with the sniffer in the tail pipe + inspection). It ran 11.12 @ Bandimere (5800ft above sea level)on the bottle back then.

Now that I live in Indiana (with a new motor) it runs 10.90’s NA and I still drive it all over the place. Current times in the sig.


67 Barracuda street car, 408, e85, 1.38 60', 6.44 @105.9 in the 1/8 mile, 10.19 @130.5 in the 1/4...so far....

Back in the early 80's I would drive my Cuda to the track with the slicks in the back seat and the floor jack in the trunk. I'd change the tires and drop the pipes and race. The car would go 11.70's-80's 115-117 mph. The eng. was a 440+.030, TRW dome piston (actual comp. 10.9) Crane hyd.552/528 cam, torker, vac. 750, hooker 1-7/8" headers, 3500 stall conv. and 4.56 gears. An 11 sec. street car was pretty rare in the 80's especially with a hydraulic cam but other than the 4.56 gears being a little too much it was pretty mild mannered. Here's a pic with 12.00 on the window from late in 81. I was 19 I wore that 12.00 on the window like a badge of honor.

I drive my car to work several times a month. To cruse nights a few times a month. Took my kid to the doc saturday in the challenger.
Had to get milk from the local store, 5 mins, just have to drive my car.
I drive all the time.

My only draw back. 12.8 to 1 comp. Wish that I would have built my stroker different.
I have to mix gas. No problem really, my GF buys the Cam 2, she likes the way it smells. lol

Sunday morning my GF and I went out to breakfast, then to the grocery store, and took the long way home. Hit every back road we could. Even a dirt/gravel road. Is that a street car???

Oh, and with a few 6000 RPM passes through all the gears. Then let off when in drive.
