Zosick has said before that he only brings the car out to race so wouldn't this be considered a race car? Jw

Nope, because if he was running 60mph, he wouldn't have caught up to me in it. I drove back from MMP at 85-90 - on 3 ton springs. Every bridge made the front end bounce up, and I had no trouble. It's a true street car, that has been driven all over GA, FL, and AL many times.

lol you always have to bend everything around. How about next time you're around at a meet... please drive my turd box civic. Although it isn't the fastest thing. you'll see that it is indeed a true street car. Way more than this impala you're describing I'm sure. No stupid bouncy shit, it corners well at 70-80mph, stops well, can drive on uneven pavement, over bridges, etc at 120+ without floating around. I've ridden in plenty of drag cars to know what they are like on the street and they can't do any of that.
All I'm saying is that you guys with straight line cars will only run from digs because you've usually sacrificed everything else to make the car quick.
it's apples to oranges really... these cars excel at digs and fail at everything else.
My Impala isn't a drag car - it came from the factory with a 327, which is still in it. It came with full interior, which is still in it. It came with a Powerglide, which I only recently changed to a Turbo 350. Rear end is original gearing still. It is like it came from the factory, except for the suspension. Suspension is hydros, which aren't for drag racing.
My point is that you can't say that a PG automatically makes the car unstreetable. THOUSANDS of cars cam from the factory with a PG, and it was the main transmission from GM for many years.
I've seen your Honda. It isn't the most comfortable street car, but it is still capable of being driven daily if you wanted to (unless you have changed it since last I saw it). I've had RX7s that were similarly setup.

1civic, can you link to the KOTS rules that saw PG are not allowed currently? I don't see it on the site:

You are really fuckin retarded and its very entertaining...seeing as how my dad builds transmissions for a living dont be mad that i can get a trans thats worth more than your car built for nothing...and if we go by your interpretation of "true street cars" you are telling me that no dash, tach only honda with ITBs hanging out the hood is a "true street car" since the rules for that class say so???
1990 Mustang Coupe...turbo lq4 through the glide
Yea if we go by a street car class at an event sure...but yes if i didnt go to school 2 hrs away i woulnt mind driving it every day...i cruise at 70 at 2700 rpm...i choose not to take it on trips to lets say Tennessee because i choose not to pay for gas...it has ac, heat, power seats, full interior, radio, and a back seat, hell it has more interior and creature comforts than most hondas rollinga round claiming to be street cars...so before you decide you know about my car think about it for a second.
Yea it handles fine, brakes even better and its quieter than my cavalier that i dd riding down the interstate...gets like 12-14ish mpgs so i mean its not a damn race car despite what the all knowing bobby says, i just chose to put a trans in it that i would never have to worry about breaking, cause unlike bobbys car my car makes real power and is capable of destroying transmission![]()
