Last thing we need is another "what is pro-touring" debate, but I would think "in traffic" driveability would have to be a must.
Lots of ppl daily drive BBC combination's. Yes i agree that an LSx is more officiant but in some situations its just not optimum. Ive had several really powerful build LS's but in an old school car trying to make big power a BBC would probably be ideal. i wonder what the weight difference is on a all Alum BBC combo vs. an iron blocked LS. For an 800hp build its hard to beat a nice built LS3
