Why are people throwing a minitub and tires and calling it a pro touring?

I thought Pro Touring meant lowered first gen Camaro, did something change?

I won't get into the what's pro-touring that's for sure! But I bet you can't build that car for what he wants including labor!!

If we start that arguement you might as well lock this thread now and safe us all from talking about what we had for breakfast.

Nope, you nailed it!

According to eBay.. any Camaro with torque thrust wheels is a PT car. I had to join these sites to learn the diff

Maybe I don't need to point this out but I'm gonna anyway. Bret from Ridetech is in on this conversation. He is not here marketing or defending against somebodies gripe. He is here as part of this community and I don't think it is because he is trying to make a buck. I think it is because he is a car guy. There are a ton of guys that are not here for one reason or another. I don't hold that against them but I do appreciate it when commercial vendors are here to also just be car guys.

yeah ive never been fond of the definition debate...
but there are a couple truths i stick too:

i believe there is no set of "rules" to building a pro-touring car BUT the equivalent to the all american blonde hair blue eyed quarterback stud would be a primary color 69 CAMARO with all dse suspension, leather int,sound system,AC,big brakes, forged wheels and cup holders!

2nd-a late model car can NOT be pro-touring! if you modify you late model corvette,camaro, or mustang it just becomes a modified modern sports car.

and the most important !
if dave gordon wants, owns or loves it... its a race car and not Pro-touring
