Neil:

Thnaks for responding.

If this is the depth at which you classify Car types, I think there is nothing wrong with that. I do believe if you explore things a bit deeper you would find numerous differences in all the segments you mentioned, but then maybe not?

All I know is I am not trying to cut anyones car/car project down nor belittle their efforts, I am stating that words have meanings, the thread asked for meanings.

Thanks,

Ty O'Neal

Track Car = gutted interior with full cage
Low Rider = hydraulics
Resto Mod = restored car with period mods

For Pro Touring, it's a lowered suspension with upgraded wheels and tires.

But I call everything a Hot Rod and my 69 Z28 has stock brakes sitting behind Forgelines, so what do I know.
