If he runs drag radials it is no longer in STREET trim.
That is the point.
When a Veyron rolls up and runs a 10s 1/4 mile, it is doing so in EXCATLY the same setup it used to drive there.
WHne an 8s Viper or Supra or Vette does so it has tp change tyres, change fuel and sometimes even lose sway bars etc.
It doest matter what anyone says - those are NOT street car runs - they are RACE PREPPED runs.
A street car run is running the car as it is always driven ON the street
My car is a 1m50s MSR lapper... in TRACK setup... in STREET setup, the car would struggle to lap at 1m58s.
That is the point that all these "street car recond" videos miss - totally.
But they seem to make good TV for the fanboys all over
