'''Pro Street''', also known as a '''back half''' or '''tubbed car''', is a style of [[Street-legal vehicle|street-legal]] [[custom car]] popular in the 1980s, usually built to imitate a [[pro stock]] class race car. Pro Street cars are close in appearance to cars used in drag racing while remaining street-legal and with a full interior.

Cars of this type typically feature two of the following three modifications:
* A highly modified [[V8 engine|V8]].
* A narrowed [[rear axle]] coupled with oversized rear wheels & at least {{convert|14|x|5|in|cm|adj=on}} sidewalls (located within the wheel wells) for maximum grip and wheelie bars.
* A [[roll cage]].

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