The so-called "Street" classes also allow modifications that would render a
car almost unliveable on the street. And although Street Mod requires your
car to be registered for highway use, there are no rules on how you get it
registered (e.g., you know a guy who runs smog checks and you slip him a
Benji to pass your car).
And in my less-than-humble opinion, a "True Street" car is something that is
driven more often than just on weekends.
