    I would love to see that in the winter. Being a 'street' car, I would assume you mean "summer" street car? If an all around car, winter/summer/rain/sleet/ice/wind, my choice would be the perfectly balanced Audi R8.

      That sounds like "livable drag car", not ultimate street car 🙂

      An ultimate street car probably has 4 doors, at least.

      I drove a 2001 Audi S8 last weekend. Except for the automatic transmission, that thing is probably pretty close. It's big advantage over an M5 would be AWD, which is quite helpful in this part of the country.

            I would say either a built STi, The New GTR, or even a Cadillac CTS-V. Those would be ultimate street cars to me.

                HA that is not a "livable drag car", he drives that thing pretty much every day. You see, for the 75% of people that live in this country, you can drive these things all winter. I drove my Buick around in the snow on the drag radials quite a few times. Otherwise i would change tires, and yes i did drive it for a whole winter when it was my only car. Also i drove my GTO in the snow alot, about 3 months when i felt like it. This isnt "its your only car for life" obviously if your gonna put that kind of time and money into something your not gonna drive it behind a salt truck. christ i thought that would be obvious

                  well where is this line between street legal race car and 'street car'?

                  I mean hell, Matt could set his car up to be daily driven...

                  Now if it was me, it'd be a 98 SVT Cobra with someone building a 4V for it, a HP TT kit, MM R/T box, and a stout T56.

                      4 doors, Leather, and an awesome sound system. I'd rock an Is/GS300 with a nicely built 2jz, pimp suspension, a nice stereo, and slammed on 19's. Around here though I'd have to go with all of the above plus AWD.

                        perfect street car? Starts every time, gets good MPG, has more than two seats and a good sized trunk. It should probly do ok in the winter too but that's not the biggest deal, plows are good

                                Darin Dichiara's Supra is a pretty awesome street car, he drives it with the A/C on all the time and runs consistent high 8 second 1/4 miles.

                                  08 GT500. 500 ponies under my foot, leather, cruise, traction control for slippery conditions. Comfy, big, and fast enough for a "street" car. Oh and orgasm inducing supercharger whine. Close second would be the previously stated Audi RS4 wagon, or a 2007 CTS-V.

                                        I drove a 2001 Audi S8 last weekend. Except for the automatic transmission, that thing is probably pretty close. It's big advantage over an M5 would be AWD, which is quite helpful in this part of the country.

                                        Snow tires 🙂

                                          Snow tires make all the difference in the world.
