Hi,
I am new here and this is my first post.
So I want to make sure that noone takes something I write now personal.
I just want to express my view of what a Pro Tourer should be
and that it would be a good thing to have some differnet Kinds of Pro Touring.
For me a Pro-Tourer is a Vintage Car with drastical mods to bring it to what we call a GT.
A Grand Tourismo.
A car like an Aston Martin DB9, Porsche 911 or Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.
A luxury, fast and quite agile car taht you can drive long distances without being annoyed because of the noise, rattling things, crappy benchseats, missing A/C or else.
Pro Touring for me has nothing to do with Track-Racing or who has the biggest Rims.
But there should be some kind of Race-Touring or Show-Touring.
I Prefer a car that is more like Race-Touring, just on the edge of Streetability but reliable and some long-distance-comfort.
Why trying to stuff all "Touring-Cars" into one Box.
Tehre are several kinds of Hot-Rods or Customs and they all have their own name.
There are Rat-Rods; Old-School-Rods; Boydsters and so on.
Let's just find some "subcategories" of Pro-Touring.
