Its our specialty.

[HRBS]

Sure is
The new owners name is Mark. Nice guy.... he changed it up quite a bit I hear. Glad hes enjoying it. Tell him I said hello.

The 20 inch mickeys are a great look,There are a couple of cars getting built with those tires that are new builds.I'm with you Steve,I still like the low and fat look

so "modern" pro-street is basically pro-touring is it not?

[HRBS]

No.
Show me a pro-touring car with a 33x21x20 tire on a 20x16 wheel.

Now that's a tire.

Im using the 29"X18"X18" version of that tire (M/T street radial) on my 'modern' pro streeter project. And except for the 15 MPG (not important to me) I seem to be following the recipe mentioned. Goal is as close to 1g as is possible in handling, low 10 to hi 9 sec quarters. A/C, stereo and a comfortable and quiet (relatively) cabin. Remains to be seen how close we get.

That set up is what Im lookin for on my 68 Camaro. Will DSE mini tubs be enough or is this a back half job? I have all options open at this point, just trying to prepare.
Thanks

I am building a modern pro 68 Camaro. I just about have it stripped and ready for blasting. I have removed the floors and back half including quaters, roof, inside dash, complete rear package tray, etc.. I want to run tires like these and want to know if DSE mini tubs will work or get DSE full tubs. Im also looking at Lateral Dynamics new 3 link rear possibly using an Alston back half.
I was sold on a Totalcostinvolved front frame but it seems so many companies are coming out with some serious stuff in that area.
I want twin turbos and the new paddle shift option but my kids are too old to try and sell...LOL... so that will come last. I raced paddle shifter karts and if you have ever been in one of these karts coming into a corner at 80 mph downshifting at the wheel while having one foot on the brake and the other on gas.......TOTAL CONTROL and what a rush.

Thanks Guys

You know Pro Street never went anywhere, just everyone has there head stuck up all this Pro touring crap that no one noticed anything else. Not that the pro touring cars arent nice but there are other styles. Pro Street is my fav and when you throw the new wheels, tires, big power whats not to love..
