This is as useful thread as the usual torque vs horsepower thread, but much more interesting!

if its intended primary use will be to compete in sanctioned events then it's a race car.

If it's intended primary use will be to drive on the street then it is a street car.

8;70 at 157...Oldhead here...My 1980 Malibu street car has been driven over 20,000 miles, It is Legal inspection in PA. I have driven in the rain and snow. On pump gas has gone 10:70 at 126 with very quiet mufflers,Just the way I drive it even on long trips. The wipers are fine at 150 mph. I never get stopped even when I drive up to police at traffic lights,Sorry I don't know how to put pictures on here, but check my posts on Yellow Bullet . Oldhead

Its all subjective in whats acceptable. I prefer cars with all the stuff working, track capable car with tags, good enough.

Hey there are some people out there that believe that if they can register a promod car it would be considered a street car.

Wife has to be able to drive it

That depends on the wife more than the car. Maybe we should start a new thread on race wife vs street wife vs passenger wife...
