Just Clarifying your statement.

Well it depends on how wide this definition should be.
I think a race car is a race car. If it is streetable it is still a race car.
Yes hard core performance but it doesn't necessary means 1200 hp twin turbo as a mandatory requirement.
I still think it means a car from the Muscle Car Era even though a newer car could count as to be built in Pro Touring Style, but that also mean that a lot of Eurotrash and Riceburners could qualify as Pro touring cars.
Over ten years ago I got to think that a '69 Camaro would look great lowered and with 17" inch wheels, low profile tires and big brakes. Like a lot of hot european cars looked then and still does.
I decided that I wanted to build a car like that, it took me a few years before I could make that come true. In 1999, or was it 2000, I bought a copy of Chevy HiPerf because it had a cool looking yellow Camaro in the frontpage. It was Kyle and Staceys car and reading the article I discovered that someone else have had the same thoughts that I had. And they called the style Pro Touring!
