This poster is of two minds about the title "Street Legal" because it sounds like the question you ask when you see a race car on the street, not race cars on the race track but maybe it's just me...Conversely I always thought the coolest thing was to have a full bore race car on the street, I remember seeing a guy with a Lola T70 on the street, and another time two McLaren Can Am cars and I had rides in the McLaren M6BGT and the Ferrari Breadvan, both race cars on the street.
