Can we please stop calling all-out race cars "Street Machines?" 7 second 1/4 times?? Really??

I don't know about you, but I am sick to death of all the buff magazines featuring articles on "Real Street Heroes" or "Ultimate Street Challenge."  Yes, anything is drivable depending on what the driver is willing to tolerate. But let's be reasonable. A car with an 8 or 10 point roll cage rolling on 29 inch slicks with a 12:1 compression, nitrous-fed 500 inch, 700 hp engine backed by an automatic with a 5,000 rpm converter and a trans-brake that runs the 1/4 in 7 seconds at 160+ mph is not a street car, it's a race car. If you want to argue-consider these points.  Even if the car has 4.56:1 gears the 60 mph cruise rpm is going to be well below the 5K converter's stall speed. How far can mom go toward soccer practice before she burns up that $3,000 trans-braked TCI or B&M tranny? And how does she secure the kids? "Be careful climbing over the roll cage, honey and don't step on the Nitrous bottle."  Most tracks require anything that runs quicker than 11.50 to have a full cage and a driveshaft safety loop. Most states require anything built after 1978 to have some kind of safety and / or smog inspection that requires checking for equipment like Catalytic Converters, EGR valves,AIR pumps etc. How does one get say-a 572 inch 720 hp '86 Monte Carlo SS legally registered?  Even if you go old school-i.e a '68 Road Runner or a '72 Chevelle-paying 12 bucks a gallon for a 5-gallon jug of 110 octane race gas to feed that 12:1 528 inch Hemi or 572 inch Rat that gets 5-8 mpg is going to get old real quick. And those big fat slicks or Drag radials are going to be awesome in the rain or snow. Here's a little checklist-if your car can't make a 150 mile trip without stopping for gas,idle for ten minutes in rush-hour traffic in 90 degree weather without overheating, enter or exit a driveway or parking lot or go over speed bumps without denting the oil pan or exhaust system, and safely drive ten mph over the posted speed limit on a curvy road in the rain-things that any 15 year old Honda Accord can do-then guess what?  Your car is NOT a "Street Machine!!!"  Calling some of these 6,7 or 8 second cars street machines is like calling an armored, Hummer H1 with an M60 mounted on the roof and anti-tank missiles and Law's Rockets in the cargo area a "Sport Utility Vehicle"!!!  Right? All the upscale soccer moms in Baghdad want one of those!!  Especially now-a new Mustang GT or Camaro SS runs 12s right off the showroom floor. A shot of nitrous and some drag radials would put you in the low 11s or high 10s. And it will get 20 mpg on the highway, idle all day in summer rush hour traffic and start in 10 degree winter weather. If you really "Need" to go faster than that-honestly then you need a Top Fuel dragster, a competent therapist, or a cage. Don't get me wrong-I'm not saying you can't be-as Dennis Rodman used to say-"As Bad as you want to be". You want a 6 second car-if you got the bank account and the ability to build it-more power to you-and enjoy it ON THE TRACK where it belongs. Think about this-do you want your wife or teenage son or daughter to innocently pull out of a driveway or shopping center in front of some fool who's just put the hammer down on his 7 second alchohol-burning Rat-Motored Nova on what he thought was an empty street and is going 135 instead of 35? Will he be able to stop that sonofabitch before he kills your family member and probably himself and anyone else nearby? I think not. If the buff mags want to feature these monsters that's fine, but don't call a race car with liscence plates a "Street Machine". Robby Knieval's Jump Bike is a motorcycle,but it isn't a "Street Cruiser".  A stripped down-P51 race plane is an airplane, but it's not a "Passenger Plane!"  Mastermind
