"street Racer"

[pureghettobass]

aight fellas,

one quick question my room mate and i were arguing over what characteristics car would have to be in order to be considered a street racer.

does if have to be a spesific car?
could it be stock?
if not what upgrades would constatute a street racer status?
or how well must it perform?
how fast must it be able to go?

and feed back would be great
hahaha keep it real thanks
peace

this is a very difficult thing to define. i'd say a street racer is more of a person than an actual car.

Yea, and think about it...there are a lot that THINK they are but others may disagree.

Cars are sooo different.

Figuratively speaking, one man's "Ferrari" is another man's "Hyundai."

This did it for me:

Spectacular results:
Power, torque, revs, performance, sound
All this major and detail engineering work results in a remarkable, high-performing, great-sounding sports engine. Powered by its 333 hp through the standard 6-speed manual transmission, the M3 coupe sprints from rest to 60 mph in a thrilling 4.8 seconds – same as the M5 – and continues on to an electronically limited maximum of 155 mph. In a March '03 comparison test, Road & Track that "the M3's engine possesses an uncannily smooth power delivery. Not only smooth, but also flexible, the M3's six has a wide, usable powerband. Midrange punch is already good, but once above 4000 rpm, the engine adopts an even more menacing snarl as it pulls strongly right up to the redline."

what does that have to do with the question about what constitutes a street racer?

True !

I like BMW's marketing & wording for the M3 though

i thought street racing meant "organized" but illegal racing. not the punk in the rice rocket that pulls up next to you at traffic lights. [driving2]
