"Streeted" or "Tuner Cars" are typically Japanese vehicles, such as a Honda Civic, Mitsubishi Lancer, Toyota Supra, Nissan 180SX and Nissan 240SX, Mazda Protegé that have been lightly or heavily modified. In response to highly tuned and customized vehicles and the rise of rallying in the late 90's to early 2000s, Mitsubishi and Subaru released the Lancer Evolution and Impreza WRX STi respectively and are most commonly modified with more expensive components due to their already impressive specs. The most popular modifications include suspension upgrades, exhaust systems, and turbos.

Famous quotes containing the word terms:
“Again we have here two distinctions that are no distinctions, but made to seem so by terms invented by I know not whom to cover ignorance, and blind the understanding of the reader: for it cannot be conceived that there is any liberty greater, than for a man to do what he will.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“The intimate revelations of young men, or at least the terms in which they express them, are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppressions.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“What had really caused the women’s movement was the additional years of human life. At the turn of the century women’s life expectancy was forty-six; now it was nearly eighty. Our groping sense that we couldn’t live all those years in terms of motherhood alone was “the problem that had no name.” Realizing that it was not some freakish personal fault but our common problem as women had enabled us to take the first steps to change our lives.”
—Betty Friedan (20th century)
