Lol its worth a try. I don't really want to build an all out drag car. I want to have a 10 sec 1/4 mile car and still be daily driven

I could daily mine if I really want to, but i'd rather take a different vehicle that gets better mileage, doesn't eat up tires, and gets more radio stations. I'd say that 95%+ of the cars listed on the "fastest" lists have plates and registrations/inspections on them and can be driven on the street.

For you guys that don't seem to understand.

This thread is actually a very simple concept.

Being able to drive it when you want and having it registered in no way equates to a daily driver.

Daily driver = driven regularly: to work, school, shopping, errands, etc.. Main form of transportation.

Anyone who can afford to build a reliable and fast street car, probably has the money to not drive it everyday.

Okayyyy, myself included, but that has nothing to do with the OP looking for DD specific cars and what they are running?

Yup, yup. I won't do anything but appearance and creature comfort upgrades to my DD.

It entirely depends on the combination and how well attention to detail was given. There are several mild heads/cam packages where springs/valvetrain components will last as long as a stock short block and make good power over stock in the process. It's when people start mucking around being careless and not giving a lot of thought to their combination which causes a short term life span.
