I was going to mention Project Splitter as well. I believe Brett did get it into the 9's on the dragstrip(using a different set of front and rear tires) but I don't recall seeing him ever road racing or autocrossing it as it was also designed to do. If I remember correctly, I believe the weight(4100+lbs) might have kept it from being effective in road racing. Maybe the new owner made some mods. Who knows. The lumpy carbureted large displacement big block might cause some people to argue about it being 'pro-touring', but it seems like a pro-touring car to me, and it did run 9's with a tire swap.
