Because there are chromoly bars inches from your head. You should never drive a car with a cage like that without an SA rated helmet on. That's pretty common knowledge. You hit your head on that when some idiot runs a red light and your head is mush. Again, I love the car, and I'm not arguing it can't handle being driven anywhere, but its not something you can drive to work everyday, so in my opinion, its not a street car at all.

I was mistaken. This is a street car, not a race car. Sorry about the mistake folks. I'll head back into my shell now so I don't get hit with any truck metal.
I don't even know why the guy put a cage in the car with Zac_Speed's logic. Why do such a thing? You're SOL anyhow.
Wow is right...

My Logic is we should get Chevyweatherman one of those "retard" helmets to wear around... I'm not saying he's retarted, just he needs the protection from everything since it's just about as impossible as it is possible to kill yourself in the craziest ways.
Get my logic now?

I agree. I'm not taking anything away from him what so ever. Driving a 6 second car on the street in the rain and then clicking off passes is a major accomplishment. It just isn't one of those every day street cars. It is something built specifically for drag week. Much like many racing classes have something called pro street or hot street. Things like that. Those cars wouldn't make it 2 seconds on the street, but it is a pro STREET car.

Badass car, it put in the miles, and clicked off a 6.xx pass. That says something for a well-built, quick-*** build!!! I'm not gonna argue anything about street car or not, the guy has guts (and surely a lot of money in it too)!

To clear any confusion the engine in the car is a 565 CI BBC with twin 88mm turbos running 30+ PSI on the track. I know a lot about the car and know Larry really well and have been been to the shop, and to his house for Thanksgiving dinner because he
happens to be my girlfriend's grandpa.
The car IS 100% street legal. It runs d.o.t tires to and from the track, has working lights / turn signals / has current tags / radio and he DOES drive it to work / daily drive it when he wants to and it runs on pump gas
And the best part? He's taken me for rides
