We put the seats and the mirrors all back in after the track day. He drove the car alot on the street, including two and from work.

If you dont consider it a street car, thats fine with me.

If the car made some passes @ full power, we would have gottin it into the 8's, we just never got a chance.

the times are impressive yes. but it is not a street car when its gutted to go to the track and then put back to ''street'' trim.

IMO a street car drives to the track and races in the same trim he drives to the store to buy eggs. i wouldn't call this car a street car. but like you said we all have our own opinions.

i halfway agree with you. The mirrors coming off just seems weird to me, you need them to drive a car on the road. But at the same time, if you don't have a babyseat or more than 1 passenger, back seats aren't needed, and I would consider a car with no rear seats or spare tire to be a street car. And taking teh back seats out makes it a lot easier to fit a set of wheels/tires, plus tools, in the car for use at the track.

if you can drive by a cop and not get pulled over than its a street car, lol. i see a plate on the back of it, so its a street car. everybodys got their own opinion, how bout the 7sec street car series with all those cars that compete, they drive from track to track running 7s?. and dan i don't think you go pick up eggs with your slicks on do you?

A street car drives to the track. A street car has all seats. That has been a cardinal rule since the model A lol. Mirrors yea a must along with wipers and what not. I noticed this car has no heat either so that tells me under the dash is completely gutted. Fast car yes. Def no street car.

Passing a cop with a stock EVO is an issue. Haha

Actually watch any of my vids. I drive the car daily with the Hoosiers on it. I remove nothing. How my car is at the track is the same way it is on the street 100%. Yes I even get eggs in it. They come home scrambled though.

We all have are own definition of a street car so let's not argue over it. This is there thread.

Yea I am crazy. Maybe some would say my car is not a street car. And just like boostin said I really don't care. It's my car and my opinion on it being a street car or not. I would go ahead and say my car is way more street then this one.

The driver sure can drive Damn good. I can't drive and we all know that. I love everything about this car. But it is not a street car imo.

I'm anxious to be getting out after 2yrs, its long overdue. The first track day will take a few shakedown passes to get used to the newfound power, but after that I should be banging gears. Might be a little difficult since the first trackday will be in Texas for 2k13 but I'm looking forward to it. Come early spring Mark we should have a locals trackday!
