I reckon if it's registered and you can drive it on the street without it overheating, it's a street car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risk of defect doesn't define a street car imo.

Things like 50psi of boost, a roll cage, nitrous, 4 link rear end, methanol fuel, 8 second capable on the street are some of the the contentious issues. Bald tyres on stock cars has never been a talking point in the street car vs race car debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it can be registered and driven on the street, it's a street car. Ha that was a short lived debate lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
