But if I'm in my Chevelle at a stop light, and that granny in the Civic next to me doesn't see the light turn green and I smoke her, that's still racing right???

Depends on who you are, look in most classified ads,

For sale ,pro-touring , (insert model) , 17" torque thrusts, 350,the rest stock..

I don't think many people outside of these forums really understand what it is. But it does make me chuckle some times.

If it's more about enjoying every mile of a road trip through twisty canyons, than mega-horsepower, then even an '83 RX-7 with a 3.8L V6, big brakes, and full-custom suspension can qualify. I'd say the Pro aspect came from professional builders like Boyd Coddington and his fellow pioneers, but now it just needs to be results that work as well as if a pro did them. I'd like to do this for a living, but how many of us wouldn't? So it means making the extra effort to go way beyond what anyone else has ever accomplished before. My '86 Camaro combining 1200 HP with 35 MPG, Ultra Low Emissions, 14" brakes, tucking 10.5" front and 12" rear wheels, able to take a wife and 2 kids anywhere, anytime, for under $10,000 is my best bid, but the above RX-7 also being ULEV, under $ 5,000, and delivering 50 MPG is also better than any OEM has ever offered at any price, just like my Camaro. Just my Camaro is more Supercar than Pro-Touring.

How is a 3.8 V-6 getting 50MPG?

And I'd like to check out that Camaro! Do you have a thread on that car?
