From day one, Super Street has always been about being the outcast, a black sheep of the publishing world combining witty banter with real world cars and the upper echelon of tuned machines that's an aspiration for all. With a staff that has numerously admitted to not knowing how to work on cars (Ok, so maybe that was only Matt Pearson and Jonny Wong), humor was an avenue always explored to keep ourselves from becoming just like everyone else: boring. The reader has and will continue to be our primary source of inspiration-after all, when you break it down, we are just like you-the every day car builder, tuner and dreamer. We've had some amazing moments in our short time in publication and met some equally amazing individuals along the way-many of which we remember here. Thank you all for your undying support; we couldn't have made it without you!

  • Dodge Neon Left Front View
    Our first project car in a line of "what the hell were we thinking" projects: Project Super Neon, the ultimate tribute band to the gaudiness of the late '90s. Good thing Project Silver Streaker (SRT4) more than makes up for that joke on wheels.

Ram Air Intake

November '96

Back when people actually came up with cool ideas to get free or cheap horsepower, some genius came up with the idea to feed more air to an intake by routing dryer ducting from the front bumper to the filter. This was the catalyst for the ram air systems you see today.
