In a six speed car?.....yes, obviously depending on what "streetable" means to you. You have to re-learn how to drive around corners to keep it from bucking/surging when it unlocks. I've got a locker in both of my vehicles (both manuals) and it scares the crap out of passengers if I don't have the clutch pushed in when the rear unlocks.
