Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
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.

Budget isnt a problem, everyone has a different one.

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
thats what im saying jarrod you know i mean no disrespect. but yes as much as i hate to admit it. until the car is tube chassied, full tubbed, full gut, fuel cell, etc etc or any of the like. its still a street car......
so until shawn or miller cut off their front ends and take the step into PROFWD cars they are technically street cars, not just in my eyes, but in the eyes of the people who make the rules for all major drag racing events in the usa.

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
If your car has to run off race fuel and cant stop at a everyday gas station to fill up--not a street car
If your car cant make a few hour trip on the interstate and in stop and go traffic without overheating/destrying rods or whatever----not a street car
If your car is gutted down to a tin can, well i guess it could still be a street car just not a comfortable one
If your car has a fuel cell---not a street car
If you your car does not have standard glass windows---not a street car
If your car doesnt have a stock style suspension----not a street car
im sure theres more but im tired

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
Did you JUST say that?
Not true. But thats your opinion, I have my own. Majority seems to agree with me.
Shawns car was a street car when it had the motor he/abacus whomever built. Why? Because it could be driven if he wanted, it was a simple setup.
Now, the rods cant handle the shit.
Dont get me wrong, I love shawns car to death.
But it shouldn't be in here as the end all to domestics.
It's a fast car, but I'd like to see some tagged 10 second street cars.

I would say they can bring trailers but would still have to drive the car there from our meet up spot. I know people may not like it if they have their own trailer but that's just to prove they are street cars.
I'm done for the night.

no just the mustang guys agree with you. neither of yalls opinions matter because the RULES of sanctioned events say both shawn and millers cars are street cars. NOW do i agree? i have no choice because i dont make the rules. so YES they are.
and i dont think shawns car is end all to all domestics, i didnt bring shawn into this. he was here long before i came. im just saying if REAL racing orginizations say his car is classified as a street car, then some random people on a forum talking about fucking street racing grudge matches have no room to say otherwise......
neither do you, neither do i.
and yeah eddie i agree. but he is the only aluminum rod car that would be coming all the others are very streetable cars. just old men, dont have the tolerances i have. because id drive them shits everyday.........

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
and marcus's car was never really all that fast???? he just had alot of following because it was stolen rebuilt all that bullshit that doesnt matter in drag racing. sorry to hear cool story bro type shit.
no disrespect marcus.
but marcus's car is a run of the mill street car. nothing i think he EVEN (or i knew about) him bragging about being any kind of fast. if im wrong then woah.... i really should have kept the coupe around.
