Jay's car is a little lighter than most F-bod's although its still heavy. My 2000 T/A weighs 3550 w/out me and 3700 w/me.. But T/A's tend to be a little heavier than Z28's... The leather seats dont help any either Hahaha

I call a street tire any tire that I run where a cop doesn't write me a ticket if I get pulled over or calls me a towtruck to tow my ride away.... As far as what their website says I'll agree that it isn't a tire you'd load the kids in the car and take for a trip up to Tahoe with but from what I hear Nitto Drag Radials and BFG's in the rain will have you eating a tree if you're not careful. So some people would say that that isn't a street tire also. I say the only TRUE street tire is a normal everyday grooved radial that can absorb 30,000+ miles without being bald as a babies butt. I think the ET Street, DR, and nitto are purpose built racing tires and fall in a class all their own. But I consider that to be the SAME class (ET, DR, and Nitto all clumped together).... But like I said to each his own...:-)

I have to agree with Marshall Mathers on this one. Traction is the name of the game. There are two types of tires, DOT aproved and non DOT. Period.
