... too hard to read with the way you inserted it....

Quick answers:
1) Yes, a street car should be able to be reasonably reliable to drive whenever you need it. Hell, I could take an Outlaw 10.5 car, and slap a better cooling system on it, and then drive it on the street - would that be a street car? Not in the real world to reasonable people, but it might be to you. I guess that since Bob at KMS (who is on here) could put a tag and insurance back on his race car (it used to be a street car), and happens to already run 7's on DR's, then that makes his a street car....
Bottom line, a street car should be able to be driven a decent distance and able to refuel at normal gas stations. If you a limit of less than 100 miles on a tank, or have to run home to pump fuel out of a barrel to be able to drive the car, it beats the spirit of being a street car.

2) You can't get VP100 at the pump but it is a certified street legal fuel. C16 and C23 are not legal on the street. There is a difference. Look at racing organizations - most street car classes restrict the types of fuel and tires. This is common. This shouldn't be an issue for your car though - a quick adjustment and you should still be able to pump out enough power.

3) Cage should use SFI-45 padding at least. Common sense is that you are taking a risk with a cage on the street, but there is no legal reason that it would make the car incapable of being a street car.

Sorry for the shitty layout of my last post. Not good at the quoting shit I guess.

If Bob can tag and insure that bad motherfucker and drive thirty minutes to an hour away and either kick some ass or just hang around and talk shit for a few hours, then drive it home. ITS A FUCKIN' STREET CAR! Only those who cant outrun him are gonna start crying about shit. Is Bobs car good transportation? FUCK NO! But we are not talking about road trips here are we? If we are then a Vette with some bolt ons and turbo or Nitrous is a much better car for that. And I'm sure Bob would admit that. But we are driving these cars across town. Not across the country. I have a truck, a jeep, and a Tahoe for shit like that and it is much better for traveling and road trips than Vette, Supra, Civic or Mustang any day. But I bet the Vette/Mustang owners will not admit that fact either. Their ego is much too big for that.

i agree with almost everything you have said in this thread minus the last sentence of ^ post. My mustang was makin 700hp and got over 20mpg and i drove it 7 days a week the entire time i owned it, i also have a jeep wrangler soft top, and a ford ranger. and i would rather road trip my mustang any day of the week. its just as reliable as either. got better gas milage.was a much smoother ride, and had a dvd player lol

So, how would you get your car from Columbus to Atlanta and back? Sounds like you could only do it on a trailer, as you can't run a street legal fuel. So, your car needs a trailer to make it from one town to another?
