I don't care how fast you think your car is.

I have heard you say this before and I think it is just plain silly..... so if someone builds a car like this and never takes it to the track but also never street races it, because it might be hard to hook 2000hp and would be a little dangerous, what is it?

Haha, first funny comment and it's only January! Do it big!

A street bench? I'm saying what if someone build a bad ass but doesn't street race it..... Just has fun driving it around....it is not a street car?

Well that person would be a retard and this argument is gay.

If it was a civic, some emo bitch would be giving you a blow job in it.

im willing to place a wager that the nova in the first post does not get street raced, but it is in fact a very streetable car & a very fast car at the track.

if someone built a 6 second car, didnt take it to the track and didnt drive fast on the street, they should punch themselves in the face and sell it to pay off the extra loan they took out on the mortgage to make a 3500 pound paper weight

The street car comment is pretty silly. Calling a car that doesn't get street race not a street car makes no sense. It runs 6's while on cross country road trips.

If it's not doing it in consecutive 6 second quarter miles it's not a street car!

All bullshit aside, this kind of car needs it's own term, racecar doesn't cover it because it shows up without a truck and trailor and puts down six second runs, but if negotiating a race, you really can't say, it's just a street car. It's like a Swiss Army car, only more violence and less chocolate

fyi, larsons nova did not run 6's during drag week. that happened at lv speedway the following weekend which is where the video was taken. so last year this was more of an extremely low 7 second street car with high 6 second potential

A purpose built TRACK car. If its a street car then it should get down on the street, plain and simple.

It's not a purpose built TRACK car. It's a car built to race, show and DRIVE. Not everyone is willing to street race. There is nothing wrong with that. That's got to be the worst qualifer of a street car ever. There's a big difference between a car that doesn't street race and a car that CAN'T street race.

This is a much better way of saying what I was trying to say..... it's not a street car because he doesn't street race it is dumb. He doesn't say he has the baddest street racing car. He has the baddest street car that he races.

Keep in mind many successful people are also responsible and dont want to street race some do though.

happened the day after, this was very well publicised

Obviously you guys didn't figure out imo means in my opinion. I was stating my opinion. Doesn't mean its neither right or wrong. You can argue your opinions against me all you want, seems kind of pointless though.

what are you saying? this is an internet forum and to be taken very seriously.

That "don't take it seriously" stuff is a bill shit cop out.

You're serious when you say it so you're going to get a serious response.

I hate people that like to poke you in the fucking eye repeatedly and when you finally punch them in the face they look at you like wtf was that for.

Um not to switch subjects, but I'm looking at Peaches sig and as far as I know that is not anatomically possible.

Sorry, I had to point it out.

Anyway, this debate is silly. The spirit of drag week has always been to put away the notion that these cars are only race cars, nothing more nothing less. It isn't a debate about the morality of street racing.

Mike

so is it a street/strip car? Driven on the street raced on the strip.........

Its a whatever the fuck kind of car the owner wants it to be. This categorization of a car to see if its fair to race against another car is a stupid argument.

Is that guy driving his car here to race on 151? No. So who gives a shit.

are we still on topic steve? jk, id say thats exactly what it is. its been said many times that the nova in question puts many more miles on a year than it does at its yearly dw outing. which is always 1,000+ miles. anyone remember when this car was pastel pink w the '80's graphics on it? thats a trend i hope never comes back.
