Yes, it's good that people define accurately what they consider "streetable". That term does not mean the same thing to all ppl.....

very streetable almost easier to drive daily because the turbo lag helps conserve gas if u are not in a hurry but u need to get used to a grippy clutch thats all. and i always get paranoid and monitor guages like a hawk

Can you drive it daily, long trips ,????

It depends if you call Alky streetable or race gas! Most people are going through a gallon of Alky (pick your poison here) in a tank full. I don't know of any EVO's putting down 500rwhp without it, so unless you take some meth. with you...you may run out on your long trip and no longer have 500rwhp.

so its hard to say. personally i would say a 500whp car.... I would not do it personally thats why i went with the 3071 instead of the 35r.
my opinon but some people may say yes.

but its all relative.

wow 170 miles to a tank.. that's crazy.

I just put mine away for the winter. It's very streetable, when the streets are pavement and not hockey rinks. However, I'm one of those people who says racing clutches are easy to drive, and I like lopey cams. Different strokes for different folks.
