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.

I agree with "The lumpy carbureted large displacement big block might cause some people to argue about it being 'pro-touring". Exactly what I was thinking. It sounded nasty when it was staging in the video. Don't think that would be very user friendly from stop light to stop light in 90 degree heat. Last thing we need is another "what is pro-touring" debate, but I would think "in traffic" driveability would have to be a must.
