I hate to say this but, I agree with larson thats not a street car. Not the way a drag week car should be.

He did everything they asked of him. Where is the line between street and race? It has cup holders!!!

 

[runningonvenom]

the light weight body, street cars should have the appearance of a stock car. Not a fiberglass pro mod body.

I agree to a point, but I feel the idea of a "street" car has shifted since the days of stock bodied cars. If you can get away with running these cars on the street, why not? Seeing a somewhat stock bodied car like Larsen's run in the 6s is so much cooler though.

Like my autobody teacher used to say, "steel is real, but glass is fast". I don't see much more street car in Mr. Larson's Nova than I do in that Camaro. Regardless, they are both amazing cars. The coolest thing about either of them is that Larry occasionally drives the Nova to work. No denying that's a street car.

Interesting HP number on the Camaro. Put 2150 to the wheels.

If its driven on the street.....well, its a street car..Drag week is all about the different classes....and well, this is unlimited!!!!..Larry Larson is and always will be Drag Week Champion tho!!!

I have been to a few street meets in my day, never once have I seen a car that looked like this. Larsons car looks like a tubed Bellaire, not a pro stock cookie cutter body.

cool car, just not my style I guess

If it can drag a trailer from race track to race track then turn 7 & 6's. It's a street/freeway car. 11 MPG is what I get on my 10 & just barely turn 7's. lol

Thatz a fun life......in the 6's and drivin the highways with a trailer.......:rock:
