HOLY FUCK. I love how you see the other car get a head start, then the Nova blows past it like it's parked.

 

As for what makes a street car.. The above rules are good. But it doesnt' mention anything about cooling. It should be able to be driven in traffic. Which means an adequate radiator and fan. THough this car apparently meets that requirement if they went cruising in it.

 

Awesome car.

[Primera]

Hot shit! Great video. Bad ass car.

 

Don't turn this thread into a fucking "what is a street car?" debate like all the others.

[GSXRAntwon]

Its a fuckin forum lol

[Crossle]

Great video, also the above rules are good except turn signals/brake lights should be/ are required for street use.
