Pro-touring vs. Other types

[Bandit]

I think the lines can be pretty blurry sometimes when you start throwing around all these "styles", like Pro-street, hot rods, street rods, rat rods, etc. I call my car "pro-touring" because of what I want to get from it (all-around performance and one-of-a-kind styling), but upon closer inspection you can see some of the aspects I have "borrowed" from drag racing (big block, cowl hood, etc.) I agree with others that a good appreciation of the hobby requires an open mind toward all builds. R & D that benefits our hobby often begins in the other areas of car crafting and racing, and at the OEMs as well. Even imports have something to offer (just not a much LOL).
Give credit where credit is due, and respect others' opinions.
