How Much More Can Be Made Street-able - 12/26/05

Yep, streetable is being able to drive it and not worry about it overheating at a stoplight or a bit of rain causing control issues. It can start under its own power and have all the lights, etc. Daily driven is a much different issue.

Yeah, a Kia is unstreetable in my book. Meaning I wouldn't be seen on public roads in one.

Wise man Hill might of just produced a quote for '07?

I think streetable means just that, you can drive it on the street. As long as you can get a sticker and tags, that's all. I used to drive my 88 RX7 completely gutted and open header. It was annoyingly loud and not overly comfortable, but it got me to school, 30 miles each way, everyday... well... snow kinda sucked, but that was what the mustang was for...

I think it comes down to each individual of what they are willing to sacrifice. If they want to run a full race machine down the street, having to run a sprayer on the radiator and intercooler, dump additives into their fuel every stop and put up with the PD, it's streetable. A friend of mine has a mustang with, the last time I talked to him, was bored and stroked to a 614 (yes, six hundred fourteen cubic inches), got less than 4 mpg, couldn't run pump fuel to saves it's life, but was driven all over creation. To me, that isn't streetable, but he sure drove it.

Street-legal :deadhorse: is a different story, which should be the guideline, but who wants that? To that I will say a few years ago, I was watching a truck pull and then winner actually was a street-legal dodge cummins diesel. The owner even drove it home from the event. I think that says something.

A streetable car imo is a car that could drive my a police officer and not have an obvious reason to be pulled over. A streetable car is something you could go pick your girlfriend up in. Sure some people don't really care about a/c. I've got it, but it doesn't work very well. Plus I would rather drive with the windows partially down.

If it's got a license plate, it's streetable, the rest is gravy.

9 second street dsm? Not in this state....

Nice article.

I drove in a 9 second DSM on the street the other night ;) As far as its steetability that's up to the owner I guess, Kyle would like to think it is perfectly streetable lol.
