They most certainly can!  My friend's 12 second Talon is his daily driver.
It has a full interior.  There are a bunch of people with 11 second
daily drivers as well.  Probably a couple of people that use their 10 second
cars as daily drivers.

Now, on 93 octane, you can't run as much boost as on 117 octane.
But you can still drive the car on the street.  It just won't have
as much horsepower.  But you don't have a lumpy idle from a race cam.
Most of these guys run the stock cams in the car.

Truthfully, the only major modification is the larger turbo.  And you have
perfect control over how much boost you run, on the track or on the street.
