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.
well I didn't say the PG automatically disqualifies a car as being a street car... but I'm sure you get my point. Most cars that are seriously quick on the street are not very good at anything other than 0-100. and I think it is lame to call someone out, from a dig only, when it is obvious the two cars are not set up equally.

It goes both ways though... most of these guys with quick "street cars" are terrified to run any import with an intercooler from a roll... and it's for a good reason too.
