My telstar is a full chassis "Drag Car". It is designed to xtracked the most out of my drive train. It is designed for drag racing only, and can never be driven on the street. A "Street Car" will never perform the same way as a "Drag Car", because it is a compromise. People who race "Street Car's" either can't afford or don't want a purpose built "Drag Car". I've seen many "Street Car's" run 9's and 8's, but dose that make it a "Drag Car"? No. Like I said, compromise.

everyone got there own interpretation of a street car. look at my esp for example i class it as a street car, its registered runs pump fuel, full interior and it runs 10.5's. I drive it to work on nice days and also drive it to car shows. But when i take it racing i take the pips off and do a tyre change.

my perception of classification
street car: pump fuel, full exhaust, DOT tyres race trim (street car): race fuel (excluding methanol), no exhaust, no interior, slicks drag car: not street legal, race fuel (inc methanol), no exhaust, slicks, rollcage, parachute, nitrous

My point is that its really hard to shoebox every car into a classification. Some cars will run just as fast on DOT radials as they do on slicks,while on others the same tyre is a smokefest.. |
