OVERVIEW:
Super Street was published by Petersen Publishing Company in Los Angeles, California. When launched in 1996, it positioned its content to the entry-level tuner seeking basic technical information. The idea was to appeal to the male readership as car owners who dreamed of faster and better looking tuners. This strategy was successful, and the magazine took market share aware from IGC's Turbo & Hi-Tech Performance and McMullen Publishing's Sport Compact Car (SCC).

The editors mixed humor, irreverance and sexual innuendo with a "fix up your car and have fun" attitude. Besides basic technical articles, the magazine also covered car shows and events, reader rides and product reviews. Many car owners started reading this magazine well before they were either old enough or financially capable enough to own a car. It influenced a generation of young men.
