Last thing we need is another "what is pro-touring" debate, but I would think "in traffic" driveability would have to be a must.
I would "think" that in "drag race trim" -- such as shown in the video of Vinnies car -- the HEADERS are uncorked... and in that trim with drag radials on it turned in a 9.98 qtr....

BUT (BIG BUT) to me THAT ENDS the argument for PT -- because PT would use the tires that they went to the grocery store in AND have the stereo on -- and the exhaust system intact.
