Respectable street car?

At least a low rot body. But I'm not so worried about pretty.

Performance wise, good stopping & good handling. So at least a stock suspension & brakes in proper order.

Oh! And yes, get in, go anywhere @ anytime, no worries!!!!

Engine wise, small block, a respectable car in the low 13's is what many around here consider the min. BUT no where close to any street contender status. Low, low 12's, mid 11's for respectably. If it is a Blvd. bruiser, then a car should be at least low 11's. A more serious machine will be low 10's & high 9's.

Big boy territory is another subject.

This is a highly subjective subject. A lot depends on your area and your peers that you contend with.

How your car makes you feel when you drive it is all that really matters unless you need the finish line first. Then it is a bever ending battle with the wallet.
