What is Pro Touring?
 
When you see sales ads for cars that claim to be Pro touring, I wonder why they think their car is a true pro touring car. but then I ask myself. What exactly makes a Pro Touring car? suspension, Wheels and tires, what?? Asking you experts.:G-Dub:

A style of modifying vehicles mechanically, structurally, and visually for increased performance, comfort, durability, and style with the intention of driving in a wide range of environments.

A style of modifying vehicles with modern electronics, high performance suspensions, engines, and styling with the intention of driving them in environments ranging from street use to high performance competition.

A style of integrating modern electronics, structural modifications, high performance engines, suspensions, wheels, brakes, and styling to create well rounded vehicles with the intention of driving them in conditions ranging from daily street use to high performance competition.




Good point... I should go look through his build book to see if there is a good definition in there.

Mine will be all of the above what Sean said. LOL!!

Pro touring is having a vintage car which could be driven in relatively modern comfort around town and across state lines to a racetrack and back home. "Could" being the operative word since they are generally in various states of disrepair and often being "upgraded." Frequently these cars are accompanied by another similarly vintage automobile in a more advanced state of disrepair.

Its where you buy an expensive classic then throw anywhere from $20-100k at it and drive it like you stole it :thumbsup:

I think Potter Stewart said it best. "I know it when I see it." ;)
