That Streetfighter thing:

[Ralph LoGrasso]

An old definition I came up with:



Street Fighter: (The term is adapted from a European genre of stripped down street bikes and has been designated to represent the minimalist sub-genre of pro-touring cars.) A classic muscle car with heavily modified and upgraded suspension and brake system components, a powerful yet functional (i.e. efficient) drive train, and diminutive creature comforts. Most Street Fighters are devoid of A/C, big billet wheels, chromed-out engine bays and navigation systems, but rather are clad with forged wheels, roll cages and light weight fabricated compoments. Most anything not necessary to make the car accelerate, decelerate, handle or function more efficiently is stripped from the vehicle. Street Fighters are Pro-Touring counter-culture at its finest; minimal drivability is sacrificed for performance and function. In the simplest of fashions, Street Fighters can be equated to street legal race cars.

Edit: My '68 is being built in this context.
