{{Further|Production car racing}}
"True" stock car racing, which consists of only street vehicles that can be bought by the general public, is sometimes now called "street stock", "pure stock", "hobby stock", "showroom stock", or "U-car" racing. In 1972, [[SCCA]] started its first showroom stock racing series, with a price ceiling on the cars of $3,000. Some modern showroom stock racing allows safety modifications done on showroom stock cars.

Super stock classes are similar to street stock, but allow for more modifications to the engine.  Power output is usually in the range of 500–550 [[horsepower]] (373–410 [[kilowatt]]s).  Tire width is usually limited to {{convert|8|in|mm|abbr=on}}.<ref name=StockCarRacing>[http://www.stockcarracing.com/featuredvehicles/scrp_0804_different_class_stock_cars/index.html StockCarRacing.com] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090408084758/http://www.stockcarracing.com/featuredvehicles/scrp_0804_different_class_stock_cars/index.html |date=2009-04-08 }}"Different Class Stock Cars" Retrieved May 8, 2009</ref>
