Still a Street Car the AFF definition.

[Bluepower]

Interesting thread, I find favour with Cfour/Gecko, CAT and the like.

As a dyno owner/operator engine builder and tuner, I find that the largest amount of people we deal with that own "quick" drag cars, actually kid themselves when they call them a street car.

90/10 shocks are illegal for road use, and if the shocks are adjustable, then it can take an otherwise safe handling car and make it a deathtrap.

If a car has front shocks that are rated to 90-10 or can be adjusted to that spec, technically the car is unroadworthy.

Im pretty sure that there are not any 7-8 second cars that are not running 90-10 shocks, therfore making the claim of "street" questionable.

If someone drove the car on a normal shock setting, and then tried driving it around the same bend adjusted incorrectly, it could end in disaster, which is why its not legal.

I dont think we have any "real" street cars in oz under the ten sec bracket, maybe just race cars with a lot of street gear that once in a blue moon might handle a cruise............

Nominating a car a "street" car on the drag strip that runs 9's or 8's or 7's is questionable because it is just that, questionable. Im sure they dont run normal rating shocks, 38-40 psi tyre pressure or our most common fuel, 98 octane.
