What do you guys think? Drag car or Street car?

Hi Matt.... first of all, I'm not looking to prolong the beating of this particular dead horse.... BUT, my reference to "young guys" was a very general statement and did not make reference to anyone on this forum.... my statement was made in a reaction to hearing this guy talking about building car and giving information that would lead one to believe that it may become a powerful street car.... a powerful street car, in a lot of cases, leads to a lot of careless driving... ON THE STREET... so I made reference to my experiences...

Where I'm from, I have a lot of these "young guys" asking advise on how to get their cars to run faster... I know they have no intention of participating in any ORGANIZED drag racing.... but they do claim to race... don't even want to know where and when... but because I race, they are looking for answers...

I can appreciate your start in racing as mine was very similar at the age of 16... however, I think we can agree that there are no longer street/strip cars... if you really think about it.... I learned it when I became a cop 33 years ago and got to pull these "young guys" from their wrecked street/strip cars... and I know it's bracket racing, but NOS belongs in the dentists office... but that's just my opinion.... as is everything else I write...
