That's Pro-Touring to me. And lucky you...you've landed on the very best site for all of the above.

Welcome!

Hmmm... I kinda thought that Pro-Touring was a bit more hard-core semi-race car. I call my car more of a Pro-GT, a little more luxury and comfort when compared to the cars around here that are set up for track days. Still, I would think that any car that has serious improvements in the suspension, brakes, and power catagories would qualify. The coolest thing about Pro-Touring so far is that many cars fit into the mold, and people don't seem to get all upset about a "different" car.

Volkswagen guy huh? Well this should help explain it:

But that VW/Porsche is an extreme example. As long as it stops, steers and accelerates better than stock, it's pro-touring.
