    Drag car Vs. Street car

    Which would you rather have? Or build yourself?
    And why?


    By drag car...I mean a car that sees trailer time and track time as it's main driving. Or...basicly spins such a high RPM on the highway, your top speed is basicly 60-65MPH on the highway. Car is likely fairly stripped.

    Street car...Can drive to and from the track. Minor changes can be made. Car would probably ET lower but trap a little higher than the drag car with similiar mods. Has radio, A/C, all seats, etc...

    wouldn't want to fight them!

    Sadly now demodded :(

    I have had both. If you can do 1 of each. If not then definitely a somewhat stealthy street car.

    Street car and I would like to build it myself. Street car because what's the point in having a fast car if you can't smoke people on public streets. At the track you might find a hand full of fast ass dragsters but on the street your the King.

    racing on the street can get you arrested and cause you a bunch of problems.

    Personally...if it has the equipment to go 9's...it can't be a 'street' car.

    but most every car on here is not street legal... just passed through emissions... 9 second car would be far more obvious... but a 10 sec-12 second car... is most likely going to have illegal aspects all over

    Agreed.

    But it starts getting pretty in-depth safety wise for anything faster than 9.9999.
