IMO, I don't care if a guy uses bottle. But most don't have another w/. them on the street. It's @ home. Plenty of street cars/ trucks use bottle.

How many stations carry above 93 or 94? On average, most don't carry 100 Unleaded or race gas. Therefore, I feel, if on a road trip, those that need higher than 94 would be SOL. So it puts things as more of a true "street truck." I do know what u mean tho.

i feel the same way. spray is fine but if you can't fill up at any local gas station, then it's not a street.

Everyone that is talking about it must be a dd, how would you really know. Even if it had low miles they could say that they only live a mile from their job.

no slicks, I don't have an opinion on nitrous cause I've never ran it, liscensed and insured, full interior, no higher than 93, NO WHEELIE BAR lol Just a few, but I'm no racer that's just my opinion.

I think you should be able to take a computer and mess with your tune becuase you could have a bone stock car/truck and put only a tune on it.

I was also thinking today, if you limit the power adders and say no supercharger or turbo then a Harley or Lighting or any of the diesels are no longer considered "street trucks". If the power adders come stock then, everyone should be able to run them as well. Just my opinion.

I think long as they have a DOT inspection for each truck to say that it is street legal then make them go on a 50 mile cruise throw a city and who ever shows up back at the track after the cruise is allowed to race and who ever breaks down on the side of the road and needs a support vehicle is DSQ (cutting some slack if some body just had a flat tire or something that isn't associated with race modifications)

I still call those street trucks. Even on gas or if u added some form of F/I, it should be allowed if u drove in w/. it.

Dgrown, a 25 mile cruise is pretty good; 50mi would surely weed out the non "street."

53RUSSELL, can u get 100 octane @ any station, anywhere?
I don't mean @ track. IIRC, there's only a couple places around me that sell TurboBlue which u can't use w/. cats. 100 Unleaded I can't even get on street round here, even if I wanted.
