Yay Friday 

What makes a car a street car? I reckon if it's registered and you can drive it on the street without it overheating, it's a street car.

Does risk of an immediate defect come into it?

Ordinary cars will get an immediate defect for bald tires if they are stopped and checked. Risk of defect doesn't define a street car imo.

 

Tag some people @k31th, we might have more than 3 people having a conversation for once lol

I agree with you

 

Good lol.

 

Things like 50psi of boost, a roll cage, nitrous, 4 link rear end, methanol fuel, 8 second capable on the street are some of the the contentious issues.

 

Bald tyres on stock cars has never been a talking point in the street car vs race car debate.

simple definition, if it can be registered and you drive it on the street, it's a street car  more power more better!

I asked the missus what constitutes a street car and she said exactly that. If it can be registered and driven on the street, it's a street car.
