I was influenced by this Pro-touring scene by pure looks at first. I was like 15 and seeing cars like the Thrasher with the big wheels and disc brakes. I really had no idea the other capabilities at the time, but I loved the look of modern styling added to a muscle car.
I began talking with more and more people, lurking on Pro-touring.com and was just overwhelmed with all the new innovation and technology. I have been hooked.
I think the toughest question is where does it go next? It seems we are always pushing the envelope farther and farther with each car, and right now Turbos and LS1-2s are on the top of the list with Corvette suspsensions and such. But where it goes next? I think we will see more use of modern technology. Addition of electronic all-wheel drive, ways to better control the power that all-wheel drive offeres. Moving power from wheel to wheel around corners and to all four in the straights.
But honestly I have no clue...could be anything.
Okay I gotta go to work...Ill be back on there though!
