How many kids in old assed CRX's and Civics have completely gutted interiors for "speed".. TONS.
Goto Kmart one day and peak in all the interiors of the older hondas and I guarantee you wont see too many with any sort of interior beyond the driver and passanger seat, and of course the dash.
And AC or power steering; who the hell needs either?
It sounds like you're turning this conversation into a WHO RUNS 9's OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR.
Daily driven is up to the individual. Alot of the guys don't drive their Firebirds everyday, I dont; why? Due to gas mileage. I drive my jeep instead. And no my Firebird doesnt run anywhere near 9s.
I'm sure PLENTY of rich people have no problem driving their beastly assed vipers, Ferraris, etc each and every day on the street.
It's all a matter of how much money you've got, and how much money you're willing to spend, be it gas, maint., or money on tires.
Any proof that we give you, you call an "exception".
This topic is WHO HAS THE ***FASTEST*** Street car.
Not WHO HAS THE ***FASTEST** street car, except those with slicks, 100+ octane, gutted interiors, no AC, no power steering, and no v8s.
Street is up to interpretation; some guy could drive is 9-10second Nova up to Kmart and challenge everyone. The cars on the street, the car can be driven to and from Kmart, it can be driven without slicks, and it can stomp 100% of the cars out there, unless someone else wasn't afraid of bringing their beast out too.
And whats the big deal about driving on slicks/DR's?
Half of the guys with Fbodies run drag radials everyday, alot of the mustang guys also. Does that make them not streetable? I ran against a Transam last week that had 315 radials on the rear, only a few things done under the hood; he beat me, and did I jump out and go; "HEY FUCKER THATS NOT STREET LEGAL IM TELLING THE POE-LEESE"
No.
