Its simple. A street car sees more STREET time than TRACK time. Grin Hope to get some pics of my car blasting off soon.

Ok,I will bite,so say on average I do 70 passes a year,average ET of 10.50 so by your theory I need to only drive my car 70x10.5=735 seconds or 12.25 minutes Roll Eyes so only counting the cruise in las vegas this year I managed 2 times that so mine is a genuine street car,excellent Tongue Cheesy Grin

cheers richie,uk

What you`re saying is that the return lane is not considered a track?

haha, bunch of jokers Grin I did not mean an actual measurement of time, but usage. Errands, commute to work, nice summer day drive, etc. Richie I know yours is a street car because you had bumpers on it when you were stateside. Grin

For me it's more like sneaking off not blasting off.  Check out the helmet...

Seems I must wait to make sure it's really green, maybe a second or so.....  LOL!

Surely if its street legal it’s a street car and I’m not sure why people get all hot under the collar about it. 

For me there are loads of great cars pictured here, some more street-able than others, but you can bet the faster the car the more compromised it is on the street, but that’s just the owners choice, and I for one am glad we have both.

So the only real question is what compromises are you going to make?

Just for the record, Gary Bergs 67! I can’t believe it took so long for it to appear on this thread. The first of the ultimate has everything Cal-look street cars? Now that could start an argument!

Sorry for the lack of picture but mine is up there somewhere already, with slicks and a stinger and no sign of a fan belt but rest assured it’s a street car!

Why havent I seen any pictures of Jimmy Roth's 67 from years ago? That car was tough as nails and he drove it like a bat out of hell. Now anyone that can drive a beast like that and drive off of instinct not sounds, is truly worthy of this thread. and i know he drove it!
