When you see sales ads for cars that claim to be Pro touring, I wonder why they think their car is a true pro touring car. but then I ask myself. What exactly makes a Pro Touring car? suspension, Wheels and tires, what?? Asking you experts.

Good point... I should go look through his build book to see if there is a good definition in there.
Mine will be all of the above what Sean said. LOL!!
Pro touring is having a vintage car which could be driven in relatively modern comfort around town and across state lines to a racetrack and back home. "Could" being the operative word since they are generally in various states of disrepair and often being "upgraded." Frequently these cars are accompanied by another similarly vintage automobile in a more advanced state of disrepair.
lol Too funny Ron.
I see a lot of ads that state "pro-touring" and then you run down the list of parts and look at the car and just laugh. Nope,.....not even close.
I always thought Pro-Touring were race cars with real expensive wheels and even more expensive paint - and custom interiors -- so much so - that now it just becomes a show car.... lest said paint and wheels and interior get "ruined" by actual driving.
