You CAN call that car a street car, but I sure as hell won't. It's a free country : you have the legal right to be a dumbass, so enjoy your freedoms.
Tyre technology is lacking behind in the car industry. No amount of name calling will change that.

Also funny cars and top fuel have 1 large gear that as is speeds up the clutch catches more till its fully engaged down the track.

Rep Power: 0 That thing has to be an auto to be able to handle any power. In a stick traction would be gone in a second. They need some kind of traction control to lay down any kind of speed and even in the streets you can see that his tach was just jumping. From 3rd he could lay out a mean burnout. There is another video out there showing some of their motors. Alot of those things are motor to. The video was a 1100HP 900Lb of torque engine and it was only running 14lbs of boost. Dont get me wrong this 2kHP engine is laying down 20-30#'s of boost. Auto is the way to go when traction is an issue.

long complicated explanation when we could just go with modomans quote
just like a go-cart. a car that runs 7's means, with a manual, you will run 8's because you can't shift fast enough with a clutch

Rep Power: 0 .... 2000hp on the "high boost" setting... and probably 1000 on the "low boost" setting.
A manual in this car would not be faster, nor make more power to the ground. Do you think that's a typical slushbox they'd put in a production vehicle? It's built for drag purposes, plain and simple.
Despite this, the difference between automatic and manual transmissions becomes near-zero in most vehicles with over 300 ft-lbs of torque. At that point, an auto is preferable for eliminating driver error.
Serious drag racing cars use a single lockup gear with a SUPER grippy clutch. It's actually slipping down most of the track, but since it's so massive, it's putting down enough power to accelerate a car into the 5's. This allows the car to stay within an extremely narrow rev-range, making it easy to tune for upwards of 7000 horsepower. It's like a John Deere tractor, you set the trottle and revs at one position, and let out the clutch.... No gas pedal.
Not-as-serious (as in , 8's or 9's) usually use 2 or 3 speed automatics with very high-stall torque converters.
