Pro Street '72 Camaro on the dragstrip

Pro Street is a style of street-legal custom car popular in the "1980s," usually built to imitate a pro stock class race car. Pro Street cars should appear to be more at home on the dragstrip than the street, while remaining street-legal and "not gutted like a race car." Or bracket race car. Typically called a back half or tubbed car.

Cars of this type typically feature two of the following three modifications:

  • A highly modified V8.
  • A narrowed rear axle coupled with oversized rear wheels & at least a 14" wide x 5+” sidewalls (located within the wheel wells) for maximum grip and wheelie bars.
  • A roll cage.

Other than the rear suspension and wheel wells, "cars of this type often remain unmodified from the firewall back," keeping stock floorpans, a full interior with windshield wipers, carpet, and working lights.
