I think they are pretty much the same, but there are definitely many interpretations on the theme. Some cars are nearly race cars, others are more show, while still others are somewhere else. My car is a little more luxury as compared to many PT cars, but as it is all a home build, not as high dollar as some others.
As for which car to start with, the one you like. Saturday evening, I saw a Porshce 928 with a big block Chevy sitting under its hood! There are lots of good American muscle to start with, but it doesn't have to be American to be PT. I think a nice BMW 635 with an LS6 and a 6-speed would be very cool!
As for the money, the way I figure it, I probably would have lost more money if I had purchased a new car that would do what I want my old car to do, so what they hey... I am happy as long as it's paid for!
Shiny Side Up!
