PRO STREET REVOLUTION
CONTACT INFO
ou might not have realized it just yet, but there’s a revolution brewing. The staccato pops of freshly struck blue torches in shops from coast to coast are growing ever more frequent. Tirehood obesity, nearly eradicated by a decade of dub wheels, 40-series tires, and an endless maze of strategically placed traffic cones is thankfully— mercifully—magnificently— again on the rise. Grab your shortened axles and punch them with clenched fist defiantly into the sky, kids. Pro street is cool again…not that it ever wasn’t! I mean, who wouldn’t want to be touring around loud and proud in a street version of a Pro Stock or Pro Mod? The look, the sound and all that power, it really is that cool!

The idea to build a late model bodied car with all the classic Pro Street styling cues was birthed during the writing of RPM Magazine photojournalist Toby Brooks’ newest book, Sensory Overload: Cool Builders, Hot Cars, and Wild Times at the Street Machine Nationals. Talking about the style and reminiscing about the past with the legendary builders who defined it for over a decade made us nix going nostalgic and begin to silently wonder: Detroit has cranked out a number of very cool cars since the trend seemingly took its last breath in the late 90’s. How cool would it be to build a modern interpretation of the iconic pro street style? We introduce you to the aPocalypSe Horse...the Second Coming of Pro Street!

bviously a game-changing car of this caliber is going to need all the latest and greatest parts, pieces, and old-world craftsmanship to go from radical rendering to real life. A number of manufacturers and suppliers have already jumped aboard. With the entire build process chronicled in the pages of RPM Magazine and the finished product shown and driven around the country, potential exposure for your company is tremendous.
