Pro Street '71 Camaro on the dragstrip
Pro Street is a style of street-legal custom car Popular in the 1980s, usually built to imitate a Race Car. Pro Street cars should appear to be more at home on the drag strip than the street, while remaining street legal and not Gutted like a Race Car or Bracket Race car. Typically called a Backhalf car.
Cars of this type always feature three of the following four modifications:
- A highly-modified, large capacity V8, V12, V10, V6, I6 engine.
- A narrowed rear axle coupled with oversized rear wheels (located within the wheelwells) for maximum grip and Wheelie bars
- A Stock floor pan from behind the front seats forwards is what separates it from a Race car.
- A NHRA Legal Roll cage.
Cars of this type should remain modified from the Firewall back but keep a full interior with Windshield wipers, Carpet and a Stereo
