I'm sure some people will take it that far to have the ULTIMATE. But I see it as having some creature comforts and a balance between riveted in sheet metal floors and no insulation, to having a pretty solid car that has floor insulation and has a solid floor, and you don't have to crawl through the window, and you could have a passenger or even a back seat.
I guess maybe the difference is do you want to have a conversation and drive fast or do you want to drive faster by yourself and crawl through the window to get in.
There is something to be said about a car that runs just as good as it looks. In some ways protouring is to transam series as prostreet was to NHRA. Most people had big huge tires and a stock 350 under the hood. You were really bad ass if you had a crazy engine also. It is just the same with pro-touring, most people will have mild LS engine or sbc, or fords. Not to many have the twin turbo triple throw down million horse gigawatchy.
I wonder when sprint cars will catch on and every one will put some big ass wing on the roof of their car. haha
