Boost WAY down and running some street gears. I've read on this a long time ago they do some crazy things like change rocker ratio and springs. It has to driver 25 miles on it's race setup and they can put in new springs before the run.Quote:

6.9 @209 thats insane
Mike woods had to pull his 80e and replace the input shaft on day 4. DO yall know how hard it is to pull a trans off a dmax? lol still my favorite car... ever

I agree. After reading the rules for Drag Week it's hard to say they aren't street cars.Quote:

I still wouldn't consider this a street car.
The rules seem pretty cool. Here is a link to them for those who don't know. http://www.hotrod.com/upcomingevents...eks/index.html
Here, have a beer....Now go drive this kid around....hahaha.
All cars are street cars, just depends on how much you're willing to deal with.
It's a drag car..just bc it has lights and is tagged doesn't make it a street car...my dirt bike has lights and is tagged and can be ridden on the street but it doesn't make it a street bike..it's still a dirt bike no matter how u look at it and that's still a drag car
How can it not be a street car. For Drag Week they have to drive around 1,000 miles to race at 5 different drag strips with no support vehicle, all in one week.
Some daily driver cars you see on the road would break if they tried to do this.
It also has to have all the safety equipment required for the ET it runs.
Ok so it's a drag car that's built right....still a drag car
Nope, drag cars can't do it. A well built street car can though.
Lol.....your just happy someone posted up a fast big block car aren't you?
No, anyone who spends time at a drag strip knows the baddest cars out there are big blocks.Quote:

haha I opened up a can of worms with this thread. But the whole street car debate is such a touchy subject, there seems to be no clear defined rules that goes across the board for what is considered a street car. Its like revisiting the FORD VS GM debate. Just opinions is all it turns out to beQuote:

That car drove 1500+ miles in a week and made countless passes... it's a street car!!
Street car= vehicle that can legally be driven on the streets. It drove on the streets and has all safety equipment. Street car.
Hey guy, you make a good point.Quote:

That is a good point. Really though, why argue something that is an OPINION. Chocolate ice cream is better than vanilla. SO WHAT WHO CARES. The car is bad to the bone. Arguing about street or drag is stupid.Quote:

There is a "Swissrocketman" car running in the low 3's at over 450 mph.
CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM IS BETTER!
Nice try, but those are rocket cars....not jet cars.Quote:

It's surprising how many of you claim to be all about drag racing, but don't know a thing about it.
my cousins big block pretty much overheats at the end of the 1/4 mile. It runs low 6's...heavily sprayed big block. Fast car, no doubt, but I'd rather own my truck. I'll take a 13 second car I can drive whenever I want over a 6 second car i get to drive maybe 3 miles a year. He sold his 12 second street car for the 6 second race car. All a matter of preference. That guy has a 7 second car he can drive whenever he wants.... WIN lol
Still pretty sure cops could issue him about 10982123 tickets if they wanted, so not sure how 'street legal' it is. I mean, technically MY truck isn't street legal. Definitions have lot of grey lines.
I'm sure one of the first things a cop would have a problem with is how the chute covers part of the license plate. But he could fix that pretty easy.
Since it's a car from the 60s it's pretty much exempt from everything else, and he runs DOT slicks on it, so they're legal.
