There is only one GOOD rule to determine a street car. Fun Ford has it. 30 mile round trip, then race. No popping the hood. I dont care if your car runs on methanol as long as it can make the trip, its a street car.
Please explain to me why a solid roller motor isnt a street car? Cause most dont wanna pony up the extra dough is my guess.

Its always hard to define the term "street car." For one, I'd say it would have to run on pump gas. Living in houston there seems to be an abundant amount of 9-10 second street cars. The buddy that did my turbo setup has a 96 cobra that ran a 9.6 on his one and only trip down the strip(cage). His car weighs 3400 and was on pump gas at 14lbs of boost. Its a 20 over with an 88mm.

I am asking about cars that run pump gas, and a consistantly driven on the street to play around with. Known cars.
I am sure those methanol race cars may compete for drag radial classes and Ennis Fastest streetcar shootout.... but I want to know about local cars you see and hear about all the time.
Usually stock style drivetrain & valvetrain, pump gas, and 1 or 2 power adders.

scotts z28 will always be one fst dig car ic you hang around the older guys in town...
boostedgt will be running with kelly/ricky BUT can also run VERY fast from a dig
all cars except boosted run d/r...seems to be even better then slicks these days...

A race motor in a street car is no different than a street motor in a race chassis.
I think my chevy two was the closest to a real street car and fast and Xtreme built the motor and Ace built the tranny. But I ran around on 26 x 8" tires full exhaust, AC, Stereo, all metal not fiberglass full interior 3200lbs with driver and 93 pump gas. It was a mid 10sec car on motor all day long and into the 9s on a 100 shot. No tubs and all factory metal.
This is not an arguement just my opinion and will always be my opinion even if someone else agrees to disagree.
It was not the fastest but it was up there IMO. But it was the most fun to drive I bet!
Here are some 1/8 mile timeslips after we got all the bugs worked out.
