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. 
Why do you say that? The turbo cars are the easiest to do that with and then run big numbers. I ran 1200+ miles with mine on drag week and flogged it at every track with only one cooling issue and it turned out to be a defective fan clutch. On the last weekend out, I drove it 2 hours to the track and ran the 10.10 while everyone around me unloaded 12 second trailered drag cars. I also took it to several cook outs with the kid in the back seat. Look at Chip's big E body. He does the same thing yet runs 9's.

From what I've seen lately, I do believe that turbos are the way to go. I think that stuff is really neat, but honestly, I must admit that I know nothing about it and wouldn't know where to begin.  Seems like a lot can be accomplished with a fairly mild engine/gears and a turbo.

I wish I would havE started playing with turbos 30 years ago. Simply double your NA hp numbers. 
I have to agree with this  Turbo is the future to go fast.

 11.09 @ 119.4mph. Not fast I know, but I'm workin on it. 10s are coming. While it's not a "daily driver", it does get driven every chance I get. Heck last winter I drove it twice. Not far, but my then GM daily driver wouldn't start  , so out of hibernation came the Dart  . Was interesting with the drag radials on  . A lil vid of this past summer.  It's nice out today here, so another cruise is in order before it gets put away for this winter. codfish

That's PLENTY fast..... especially in the snow on fat drag radials. What an awesome chance to practice throttle control. I am surprised at how well drag radials work in the rain!

10.77 @124 - It runs consistent 10.80s on the 4bbl. 10.90s in the heat of Summer.
All I do is swap my street tires for my slicks. If I change to drag radials, I won't even have to do that and I'll probably be a little quicker. My bird has a full interior, everything works from the dome light to the wipers, no lite weight parts, and no roll bar (yet, I need one). It runs on pump gas. It has a CD/MP3 player and a 4 speaker stereo. I drove it last weekend to the hardware store and ran a few errands with it. Driving a 10 second car to the grocery store is a blast!
I plan to freshen up the motor this winter and see if I can squeeze a little more out of it. I think high 10.50s are possible with a looser converter, more gear, and a few tweaks here and there.
What combo are you runing?

You'd be left w/ atleast one 9 sec car...mine. 
Mine would still be there running mid-10s, too. I don't think twice about driving it 80-100 miles one way to the track and beating on it.
