Real street cars are those that actually drive on the street. I've seen a list of the quickest street cars in New Zealand that are mainly just drag cars with a WOF and a Rego that do little to no street driving. Those are NOT street cars. To qualify as a real street car, here are my criteria:

• Have a valid registration number plate that matches the vechicle description, that you can look up on the internet using sites like www.carjam.co.nz.
  
• On such sites, see that the vehicle is currently registered (and not on hold) and is currently warranted (WOF).
• On such sites, see that the vehicle drives at least 1000 km per annum.

Vehicles that satisfy the criteria above are valid for my list of the quickest real street cars in New Zealand. To determine who should be on the list, you need to have won a legal street race, which in New Zealand means one of the flag drop drag races since any street legal car no matter how fast can race in these. This eliminates the need for the quickest street cars to have a cage which would be required if comparing drag times to find the quickest street cars. Also just because you are quickest at the drags does not automatically make you the quickest on the street. A well set up street car will kick a faster drag cars arse on the street, as my off street racing experience has proven. For example, I have raced and beaten Mike Black's Holden ute "BIG TRQ", the 3rd fastest car on the "NZ Quickest Streeters" list at the Powercruise Off Street drags in 2009 and you can watch the race on this video at 5m27s. I have also beaten the 18th fastest car, Doug Stewart's Camaro "TUF 67" at the same Powercruise 2009 event and you can watch the race on this video at 6m38s. Those are the only two cars on that list that I have raced so far.

The legal events for street races are the flag drop events at Powercruise Off Street drags, Chrome Expression drags, Ardmore Showdown drags, Kiwinats drags, Powerfest drags, etc. In order of most wins are the following cars:
