I have quite a few uninformed people ask me if my car is street legal with the power it has... There is no legal limit to HP or torque that I am privy to... If so, Speedster and a few other are screwed, but no, there isn't...
There are a lot of high end pure race cars that are not street legal that are called door slammers... Thats pretty much old terminology as well...
My car for example, will have the original back seat in it long enough to take some pictures, and then will be removed since no one can/will ride back there and it's weight... My stereo and A/C and electric door locks and multitude of other things will remain... It'll have a remote (external) battery shut off, as required by NHRA and the "Mile" rules but it will still be "street legal" in every sense of the term... My primary goal is an accomplishment in the Texas Standing Mile, and then the drag racing will be the fun after the fact... There I've said it, my primary goal is the Mile first, hence why I haven't posted up times from running the 1/4 and breaking stuff... I have a goal... that is primary, and I'm hoping my schedule allows me to meet it in the spring... Time will tell...
But Street Legal is a mouth full... All the stuff required by your state and you are good to go...

That's kinda what I was trying to get at... "street legal" is kind of a loaded term... The LPE car is also street legal save the slicks.... and like you said... Bruce's car... well we can speculate all day... *cough* superquick *cough* and still street legal... But may actually not be rated for the class he'd have to run according to his times.... weird....
but I didn't realize that door slammer was kinda old terminology....
