Message	right? The ones that don't really spend much time sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the bay bridge or 495, in the 95+ degree, 95% humidity of the lovely mid atlantic we habitat? The cars who basically run flat out with full air flow all the time. Those track cars? Then no, their use in this case does not make them the best option for your "mostly street car". Side mounts, which enable cooling and function of the AC & radiator make the most sense. And of course, if you are deleting the AC on your "mostly street car" because you need a front mount to do "an occasional track course event", then that's just absolute amateur hour. 1993 Ultra Red Z32 TT Convertible 2011 Electric Blue D40 1997 Cobalt Green S14 (project fun 2.0) The Z Car Club of Northern Virginia "boobies have power" - Bernie(NoVA)
