Lets poll whats streetable?

[Guest GotTorque?]

Yep, good point. My car will get me dirty looks at idle, but not yet *knocks on wood* not pulled over.

the stainless braded brake lines on my car say "off-road use only" so does that mean i can't drive it on the street? if i cut the tag off does it mean i can drive it on the street then?

Good point... Off-road parts that can cause a car to fail emmissions tests, or become unstable during adverse weather conditions such as rain. I think my fuel cell said for off-road use only. If I put 94 octane in it its going to burn the exact same way as regular gas. Definitely a good point.

Steetable, that is rather subjective. I consider just about anything that is "legal appearing" steetable. You know, has all working lights, and is on DOT aproved tires. However, if you want to get nitty gritty about it, you can. You can argue this point from any which way, from my perspective or if it just has a CAI it is not steetable.

we with old cars are pre-emmission testing so i'm good no matter what:p

 

my fuel cell doesn't say DOT approved on it but FIA, NASCAR, SCCA, SIAA, and like 6 others approved it so i would say i'm good to go.

 

am i not streetable because i don't have wipers? per ORC i am in the wrong with out them but it doesn't say anywhere in there that i have to have a windshield, just wipers.

What is your deffintion of a true street car???????

 

Discuss :burn:

[boosted98gst]

to me somthing that is not all gutted out to shit, street tires, can be driven everyday, power steering , AC, everything from the factory inside the car.

[Guest Wunna Dig Race]

too me its a car that can be driven on the street for a while and not run over 220 degrees.....

[blueG60rado]

I think a true street car is a car the owner is willing to daily drive every day and to and from the track.

 

For some that means it must have ac, heat, ps, and full interior.

 

For others it means no cement block or straight meth.

If I can drive it to work, school in winter, without question of reliability, and still pick a buddy up, it's a street car in my eyes.

Must also run on PUMP GAS and not need some rediculous care like an oil change once a week or fresh spark plugs after a race.

I merged them together since its basically the same thread.

[Nitrousbird]

I love the "it should be a fairly comfortable daily" to be a street-car opinions.

 

I guess a factory stock Lotus Elise isn't a street car.

[SlowmotionMotorsports]

A lot of good points made for both sides. I'd add if you can put your kid/s in the car and take them to ..........I dont know like the....... zoo or something, increases the true street car-ness factor.
