This is like trying to define what's a "STREET CAR" -- what's streetable to you might not be anything I'd consider streetable. Touring is equally difficult to define. I would not want to drive either of Hobaugh's cars on the street - nor Mike Maier's Mustang or several other cars that we all love, and would love to own.
Having driven HellFire on the street... THAT is the best definition of a "pro touring" car I can come up with. It's truly long distance comfortable, easily driving in stop and go traffic, and we know it's track capable (far in excess of most drivers ability).
My point is that some people - in an effort to "beat" a car like HellFire on the track - will no doubt go "too far" and the ride or some other part will suffer. Still - that is what they wanted to build and it's still pro touring in our eyes.
It's like "having enough money". What's enough money? Put a definition on that. It's impossible but we'll know it when we see it. LOL
