I'll always be an old school pro-street junkie, but modern pro-street is starting to make me itch to build one. To me modern pro street takes all of today's technologies and wraps them in an older package.

kinda like this: :unibrow:

Big motor, modern injection (good gas mileage), streetable, but still at home on the track.

and I think that a "Modern" pro-street should be comfortable, not the hard buckets of yester-year, and it better have a kick as stereo!!

That stance is killin:yes: .....



Killin the chit out of the exhaust system.....:wow: You wouldn't get a mile down the road before that exhaust gets ripped off the car up here in Jersey!
:lol:

Thats what the shockwaves are for, 1000HP and on air so it rides like a cady and handles like a newer Camaro.

Never been an air bag fan. Dont much care for the ride and they can strand you if they fail. And I know users who have been stranded. No thanks. If you have to raise the car to drive it, whats the point? Properly sprung double adjustable coil overs are my preference. You can tune those for street driving and race track use easily. Requires more work to get the ride height as low as possible without running into ground clearance issues, but worth the extra effort.
My current project is about as low as you can be and still drive it without problems, so we went the extra mile on my exhaust to prevent any contact. My custom headers have a transition to 4" oval pipe, and we modified the morrison frame to pass this wider pipe thru the frame rails. NOTHING hangs below the frame rails. Not the headers (and they are 2.250" primary to 4.5" collector), mufflers or any pipe/clamps. Big job, but in the end it will be worth it.

Fesler, that is awesome. My last '69 Camaro had a tunnel ram with a fuelie style scoop and I sold the car after I removed it to go pro-touring. I just didn't feel the same about the car with the scoop gone.....wish I had left it alone and still had the car. This brings back memories...:thumbsup:

Yeah, that car was ahead of its time, and over the top. :thumbsup:

I built my car with a similar idea. I was a fan of the old school pro street cars back in the day. I also like some of today's pro touring cars. I married the two together in my own way.

55 210 Sedan with 565" BBC, twin Precision 76GTS turbos, hidden water to air intercoolers, Holley EFI, 4L80E w/ etrans controls and paddle shift, custom fabb'd 9" 3.50 gear. Car has a/c, p/w etc. Suspension is Qa1 double adjustable coilovers, tubular control arms, 4 wheel discs, 1 1/8 sway bar/anti-roll bar.

Some recent adds since these pics: 390/45/17 M&H drag radials, ceramic coated hot/cold plumbing etc. No dyno numbers yet but, it's fun to drive!

Nice!!!

What is the rear rim size? Can you throw up some pics of the M&Hs?

I've never really been a fan of pro-street cars, but this "modern" version of the pro-street is kinda cool.
Fesler's car is just nuts and SDMAN's car looks like it's gonna be a beast as well. And kudo's to him for using a Pontiac as well. Looks good.
Nice looking cars guys!!!!:thumbsup: :cheers: :thumbsup:

Check this one out ! (video)

Guess My Nova would be definitely Modern Pro Street......
I always thought it ProTouring with a ProStreet Engine!!!!! Never was Really sure had to categorize the car....so i always said it was Pro-Street Touring!!

"Modern" pro street as a classification seems to just be a cleaner, more livable version of what pro street started as. Pro street started as street legal, drivable drag cars, that ran FAST and had a high build quality. The style caught on and tons of cars were cranked out that looked and sounded mean, but ran 15 second quarters, if they didn't blow up. I'm sure there will be "modern" pro street cars that aren't functional, as we're now seeing pro touring style cars that are show only. I hope with the advances in technology and the amazing increase in potential performance available to consumers and builders now, that modern pro-street is defined by cars that run 10's or quicker, look good and are comfortable and reliable. Pro touring should be classic cars that outperform modern sports cars in every way. Unfortunately, there are so many hacks with poor taste and poor judgment that ruin people's perceptions of customization. It's a crying shame when brilliant, credible builders and enthusiasts are over shadowed by goons who degrade a genre, which is what pro street has to recover from and what I pray pro touring doesn't go through.

modern or old school pro-street always has to have fat rear meats and way to much horsepower. Gas mileage should be the last thing on the list. Just my .02

This car on Air Ride? Stock front subframe?

Definitely.

Am on the process of building up my truck.

Every time someone asks me what a am style am going to i have to explain.

Good to know that the style i want has a name :D

Update. Glass front end, radiator and intercooler all mounted. Engine going to dyno in Feb. We made some changes there. Were hanging the dual master pedal assembly with balance bar (adjustable from dash) and putting the floor/tunnel in. The custom 28 gallon stainless gas tank is done and installed. Has a triple trap door internal sump, Magnafuel EFI pump and #12 out/#10 return. The radiator is a 34" wide core dual pass, with a pair of 2 speed 17" derale fans. Water pump is mounted on the radiator tank. Both tank pics are with the car on a lift.

I think I found my new home!!! My 72 Monte Carlo will be getting a 632 BBC with a 4L85E and a FAB 9 out back. Looking at around 700+ to the wheels or so with A/C and full furniture. Will be doing a functional roll cage as well. I am still looking at what rolling stock, suspension, brakes and other details. Pics to follow soon.
