It was the first car, aside from the race cars, that really was a modern take on a first gen.

Anyone else remember that? Not to take anything from the racers like Gulstrand and such, but Chips was the first car that was built to be like a modern daily driver, which to me, is the definition of pro-TOURING.

If that puts Chip on the map in pro-touring history... I can proudly say i made the history by myself in 1990 one year ahead of Chip

Custom paint,"modern" trans am wheels, rock hard suspension and daily driven- definition of pro-TOURING

Btw, should i get some kind of profit or comission of inventing this all ??
