235 on my car made a world of diff. vs the 195 hell you witnessed it. i could hook up in 3rd, vs when i ran the z06 i had to let him get that 2-3 car headstart then come by doing work. lol

I'm just saying
I dont consider his car, millers car or anyone like that a STREET CAR.

Someone with a piston rod motor in a 95 hatchback on some 24 inch slicks on autozone axles with a 60trim running high 10s, thats a street car.

If someone bought the R, motor and Si, I'd go buy a notch and get shawn to fab me a turbo kit. Get greg to help me with the suspension adn I'd have a 11 second STREET car on a stock motor.

I dont even see how this is an argument. If your fwd, you get a slick...if not then you get a radial....boom tracktion is a bit more equal and we can really see who has the faster car.

I dont even have a fwd car and I see the stacked odds.

i might come watch but thats why i'm not wasting any gas on this...

what makes them not street cars???

they are the exact same thing as any normal street car, just with more money, since when did money invested make it not a street car.

the rules of all the races they RACE at EVENTS classify them as street cars........ because they make over 800 hp and we cant own them due to our budgets make them not street cars?? no.... just people spend their money in other places.


like i said define street car eddie. because all of the cars im thinking of telling about this are street cars with 10 point cages missing back seats...... perfectly capable of being driven everyday. have inspections. and the only reason they will be coming on trailers is because going that far on a car to race it without a trailer is stupid. even for you guys.

thats a risk no one making a trip like that wants to take.
