What defines a "race car" and a "street car" is the purpose it was built for, the way it gets used and the parts you put in/on the car.
A "race car" would be a car driven on the: 1/4 mile Track, Road Racing, Auto Crossing ECT.... WITH Minimal to NO STREET DRIVING.
A "street car" would be a car driven on the street, with minimal to no track days.
The Power output of the car doesn't determine if it's a street car or a race car, The owner and what he/she decides to do with the car does.
Example 1: Sure you could have a "close to 500whp on race gas" Street driven car that never see's the track at all, so in turn you have a "STREET CAR", right?
Example 2: You could have a 500whp RACE CAR that never see's the street and only driven on the track. Get it?
What makes the difference in the two comparisons is HOW YOU USE THE CAR, AND THE PARTS YOU HAVE ON/IN the car.
Example 3: you could even have a 500whp CAR in general that see's the track and street equally.... so he/she better choose parts very carefully and not just "point and click" on the intardnet and expect a certain part to do what it is not intended to do. Do research/ Ask questions.

Even though the description on that listing says road racing and high power street use we still market and sell all of the pucks discs as race discs and as such there is a certain amount of compromise to be expected vs. the use of a full face organic disc.

I hope it's not just the clutch chatter making you think something is wrong and you forking out the cash to drop the transmission. As stated above, the puck disc are more aggressive and less street friendly. I have an ACT 6puck sprung clutch and love it; sure it's grabby and makes decel noise but I don't complain when I'm at the dragstrip and it's holding like a champ! In case it matters, I don't daily drive my car but if I did I don't have a problem driving my 6puck around town. Good luck getting your issues resolved!
