When I was redoing my website last year I tried to put a definition to Pro touring... This is what I came up with as a most generic yet encompasing definition...
Pro-touring: A style of building custom vehicles that integrates modern electronics, structural modifications, high performance engines, suspensions, wheels, brakes, and styling with the intention of driving them in conditions ranging from daily street use to high performance competition.

I don't think many people outside of these forums really understand what it is. But it does make me chuckle some times.

I also get a kick out of what some people consider Pro-Touring... 20" wheels on a stock 69 Camaro with stock sized brakes, a lime green paint job, and a set of glass packs.
When the general population outside of the car world asks what I do I either say I restore cars or built racecars... it's just easier that way.
