now as for "classes" or "levels" of a build, typically the more money spent, the higher the "level".....but i also think that the right mix of parts can take a car above and beyond the amount of cubic dollars spent. does a PT car need a 20K int? does a PT car need a 30K paint job? does it need 10K worth of rolling stock? does it need a 4000hp pump gas motor?
answer.... it "needs" whatever the owner thinks it "needs", i personally think that throwing a bunch of money into something that "should" go fast and "handle" is great, i also think that if one spends the money to reach those goals, then they should go out and do it.
PT style is very broad, from die hard streetfighers, to streetrod styled rides...... everything fits. as technology increases, the newest and trendiest may get the spotlite, but it great to see some of the 1st PT cars built over 10 years ago still getting the same attention(a certain red camaro comes to mind)
as with everything, the hobby/style will evolve, some will like it, some wont. when people start putting "rules" on what is and isnt, then its no longer what makes it great...the freedom to express ones creative self and vision.
