If it's street legal then it's a street car. Otherwise it ain't...
With this being said I’m not a street car because of the long tubes

Do you have it tagged, registered and insured?

And? Any of our cars could technically be ticketed for some type of infraction.

Still a street car.

If it passes state inspections..(in the states that have them...).. and it's registered and plated and insured...I would think it could be called a street car...

What a whiny bunch of liberal softies. If you don’t have power lumbar support, it’s a race car. Back in my day… this was a street car. 3CA199F4-AEAC-4C05-908D-5C58B82BDEEE.jpeg

On the topic of the cage/roll bar…when I bought my 69 Dart it came from out of province, so I required an OOP insurance inspection. It had a 6pt bar, frame connectors, Cal Tracs, 451 stroker, etc. No mechanic shop would certify it. It is, as Speedy said, due to the change in crash characteristics. Had to find a shady fella to certify it as per the specs on the vin. All mods were done after the inspection…..if anyone asked.
At the end of the day, it was a street legal race car. But due to the often mentioned reasons in this thread, mileage, noise, heat, uncomfortable, etc….I sold it and bought the Hellcat, which is faster, and a street car.

What I want to know is at what point it’s no longer a racecar and becomes a spacecar
