For a street car, straight line performance is a big deal (as almost every kind of street contest primarily involves acceleration.) Of course, turning is still an issues as you don't want to be left behind on a freeway onramp because your ladderbars are a hindrance. Basically, I'm not advocating a drag car set up but something more versatile. I'll go with either a Camaro or Mustang. Both are fun cars with lots of performance potential (read huge aftermarket.) People will know your car is fast, but just not exactly how fast. A last gen Mustang can be anything from a 15 second lacklustermobile to an 11 second beast without giving much away.
Evos and STI's work well too as they're just very hoon friendly. Dump the clutch and go! Minimal skill needed for launch until the tranny breaks at the drag strip where the grip is better. (I'm so sick of Evos lunching their trannies at the drag strip!)
