Some on here are so single minded they refuse to believe there is anything else out there besides the "LS".Quote:

DOT (DOT = Department of Transportation) slicks are legal here. It's not impossible to have a modded street legal car. Several years back I ran a quick street car with the same tires he's running. I never had a problem getting an inspection sticker for it. I could take it anywhere to get the inspection. They couldn't find anything wrong with it, although I did have to fix the tag light one year. All you need is an old car, then it's easy.
That's the funny thing. I don't follow drag racing anymore, haven't for years. I couldn't even tell you who the front runners are now. But there are a lot of know it alls here who seem to know very little, it doesn't keep them from being obnoxious with the little juvenile insults. All I have to do is mention something good about a non LS car and the wonderful folks here start saying mean things. Funny stuff. Grow up.Quote:

Is it safe to say this thread went off on a tangent?
Yes, as safe as abstinence. :lol:Quote:

Most inspection shops dont go by the Tee However a DOT cop will write him/her tickets for everything and have that car impounded.
with what is listed above there isnt many if any vehicles on this site that would pass a proper inspection

The car this thread is about is from Missouri. I use to go to the Street Machine Fall Nationals in Springfield, MO every year. There are a lot of tubbed and caged cars with superchargers sticking out of the hood on the street in Missouri. So it must not be a problem there. I got pulled over in MO. driving a tubbed caged car with DOT slicks, Lexan windows, the whole bit. I got a ticket for speeding, and that's all. No equipment violation.
I know of a 8 sec blown alky SBC Camaro that racked up a lot of street miles in MO. He drove it all over the place on a regular basis without a problem from the cops.
it does vary between states. the cage is a safety violation since in an accident it will do you more harm then good as they see it. since to be legal you need to drive with a helmet on to protect you in a crash. But then using a helmet is against the law cause it obstructs your vision in a car/truck.
local DOT cop here pulled over a SRT8 jeep cause it was lowered[stock height] with 20s on it. rather or not it stuck im not sure but he was out with a tape measure measuring ground to bumper height.
to say this car is a street car is all in who says its what. Any car can have stickers slapped on it, if the car does drive XXXXX amount of miles a year or week, was working lights and etc ppl call it a street car. thats a drag car thats capable of street activites. A true street vehicle is well rounded and not just directed towards one thing.
this car driving 1200 miles in a week just shows it was built right

You'll get a ticket for just about anything in the chicagoland area, it's turrible.
Even in California (one of the most strict smog/inspection states) you can do anything you want to a car as long as it's a 1967 or older.
In CA they just have a few simple rules for the older cars like the tires can't stick out past the fenders and the exhaust can't be super loud (like open headers). The obvious stuff. Other than that you can run a blown motor of your choice with the huffer sticking out the hood, roll cage, tubbed and any size tire as long as the car is 1967 or older.
Same here for old cars, looks like this argument lost its steam.
Yea it's pretty much the same everywhere but it's 72 and older
nuthin better then drinkin a bud light and and going 200mph. GOTA LOVE IT!
Looks like you're in Oklahoma. I believe it use to be 1977 and older in OK.Quote:

:smash::bash:
Well my uncle in California builds hotrods and since most of the emission crap started in 73 anything 72 and prior is free game when it comes to making it badass...that's what I've always heard from him anywaysQuote:

it's a nice car indeed. My buddy and his brother won Drag Week in 2005. Car has to be driven to each event, and average time to win. Not a best one time, this was the first 6.99 or faster that won the event.
But if they get any assistance from a support vehicle, they are out.
