Streetable means you can enjoy driving it on the street, and it's not a hassle.

This has always been a debate. Exactly what is streetable? Your statement above is a great example---because I guarantee you that what you consider a hassle I probably wouldn't. Thats why everyone has a different definition for what a true street car is.

Street Car vs Streetable

Two different things IMO.

 

[Trav4011]

To me, a true street car is one that you would daily drive.. with basic creature comforts (A/C/heat, radio, power steering).

 

[1lowtoy]

A true street car is one that will not over heat while driving in stop and go traffic.

 

[psfracer]

^^^^everyone's definition is different, but I would think not overheating in traffic is definitely a requirement.

I guess my point was some people think a street car is a car you can drive from New York to Los Angeles while having the A//C and 1000 watt radio on.

Others think a street car is a car that can drive to the local cruise spot 5 miles away with no a/c, no radio, and a 5 gallon fuel cell.

As usual Justin and his guy's are all over it

To me, someone driving a "street car" shouldn't have to sacrifice things that you would find in a daily driver, or that would be yanked out of a "race car" to save weight. Being able to brag that your "street car" runs x.xx 1/4 mile, or xxx mph without being gutted is more of an accomplishment than someone who guts a car out, leaves the factory dash in, and calls it a "street car" because it still kinda looks like one.

I like the old FFW definition. 50 mile road cruise, and three back to back passes, without lifting the hood.

Ok fellas we can end this debate real easy

It was never said this is the first 9 second NA Street car full weight Coyote. ( THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN )

This is the first 9 second NA Coyote. This car will not overheat I can gaureentee you that. It doesn't buck at low rpms, it is still a tagged and titled car this is fully streetable and street worthy. I would drive it everyday if I had the cash. But that was not the purpose of this car. Who needs AC & Powersteering ? Not your grandfather or me, but I guess that's where you seperate the men from the boys. Geeez they use to run big heavy cars with drum brakes all the way around and plastic tires

I don't think anyone is bagging on this car in particular.. We were just having a debate about what's considered a street car.

You might not mind going without A/C up there in MD, but try doing that down here in South Louisiana! It's not a matter of being a man, or not.. it's a matter of if you want to show up to work dripping wet with sweat or not. For a daily driven street car, A/C is pretty much a must down here.

 

[GeorgeInNePa]

I could live without power steering if I had to.

But, either the A/C works, or I get another car that has working A/C.

 

[Trav4011]

I would sacrifice a few tenths for A/C

The spring thru the summer in MD is pretty much 90-100 deg. 80-100% humidity


I've had cars for years with no ac. 60 and 2 windows is good enough, yeap it's hot when you stop but whatev's

I know what your saying about this car but that's the way the thread was being steering for no reason
