Best textbook definition for "Pro-Touring."

[Revved]

What is your best definition for "Pro-Touring?"

I'm doing website updates and wanted to integrate a definition but I haven't found a good text blurb online that I feel really encompasses what Pro-Touring is. Most definitions only define it as only muscle cars, or only expensive professionally built race cars with license plates... but Pro-Touring is more than that.

I'm going to be sitting down and writing one that I'll post up but I wanted to hear from other guys that are living the life.

A few quick thoughts....

Pro-Touring:

A style of modifying vehicles mechanically, structurally, and visually for increased performance, comfort, durability, and style with the intention of driving in a wide range of environments.

A style of modifying vehicles with modern electronics, high performance suspensions, engines, and styling with the intention of driving them in environments ranging from street use to high performance competition.

A style of integrating modern electronics, structural modifications, high performance engines, suspensions, wheels, brakes, and styling to create well rounded vehicles with the intention of driving them in conditions ranging from daily street use to high performance competition.

Good point... I should go look through his build book to see if there is a good definition in there.

It might be easier to answer this question. "How long is a piece of string?"

The length is the square root of the square of half the length multiplied by 2!

True... but if you don't know where you are... how do you know where you are going? Pro-touring is fluid concept which is likely the reason why there is no "textbook" definition per-se.... I'm just trying to put some words to it that describe it but don't limit it.

Man.. that is deep.

I can't speak on this subject, as I currently only have 17" wheels going on my car, so ill just sit back and watch.

I like that one a lot. A little vague but really hits some good points without being too narrow.

That is such a vague question, but the answer is probably less than Steilow's string.
