[GT40FIED]

Ok....this has my brain turning. I know many of you aren't exactly familar with the magazine 5.0 And Super Fords , but the last issue had a contest contemplating the "King of the Street". This has baffled me. Here's the mods of the winner:

Ford A4 block (racing block...not street oriented) punched to a 347
Ported Trick Flow heads w/ 2.05" intake valves and 1.60 exhaust
Renegade class cam specs
All forged/billet internals
Ported intake w/ huge throttle body
Twin fuel pumps w/ 83lb/hr. injectors
Aftermarket FMU
F.A.S.T programmable DFI system
Full aftermarket ignition
1 7/8" Kooks headers
Paxton Novi 2000 blower @ 20lbs of boost
Super Comp C4 w/ manual valve body and 4,500rpm stall converter
8.8" rear end w/ Moser spool
Stricktly drag racing front and rear suspension and brakes including skinny wheels and tires up front.

Now...I didn't get nearly as detailed as the magazine, but I would think a car with a 10 point roll cage and fat ass rear slicks that runs a 9.48 @145mph is certainly not a street car. Sadly, the car makes less power than my car (just barely at 645hp) but my car is probably about a full second slower because mine is a dedicated street car. I could race it at the track I suppose if there were someone who'd let me run it. My point is that this is obviously a bracket racer that is a "street" car by name only. Any car could be street legal here since there's no emmisions regulations. Hell...there's a 60-something Corvette that runs 7s and could technically be street driven by this standard. So my question is, when does a car stop being a street car and become a track queen?
