Remember, It's the magazine's own fault for pigeon holing "pro-touring" cars as posers. This site was founded on "real" hard core cars that are driven hard, that push the envelope etc. But the reality is that we accept all kinds here too, even the softer core cars. They need love too.
I just wish the word pro-touring never got softened by the media.Tony Langlois

Motorhead Mike.....
If you don't like the term "pro-touring" ....then don't post here....
Just wondering....were you an angry individual with an overwhelming need to offend people BEFORE you built the Buick?

As long as they are driven, and not towed, I don't what 'class' they are in.

I kinda of understand where Mike's coming from with his comments. I am pretty sure both terms, "protour" and "prostreet" were thought up by some magazine guy. Not real fond of either term, but they come pretty close to what my two rigs are, and both have lots of hours of my sweat and skinned knuckles in them, not some cubic dollars to some overrated shop. Be that as it may, my '58 chevy halfton is definitely a daily driver and "prostreet", and my '55 chevy coupe will be as good a handling "g-machine" or "protour" rig as I can make it on my budget. I'd love to ship either over and do some long distance touring, maybe even something like the "power tour", some day.

pro-touring??
Welcome to the site Mike! nice looking ride! for me, I just threw a set of TTII's on and went to the track!!
basicly! I don't call mine pro-touring / or a drag car but i will call it "FUNCTIONAL" my goal is to have the best of all worlds here. By functional i mean it should be able to have killer street manners and handling, knock down some killer numbers at the strip and put up a impresive time on the auto-X. This past Sept. I ran a 7.52@93 in the 1/8th on a mild tune with 20lbs boost and done the auto-x in 74.03sec. and that was with a completely STOCK suspension.... people can call it what they want, but i think "functional" sums it up the best with alot of the cars here, Including yours! My goal is to have a mid-low 10sec street driven daily driver that can handle as good on the street / auto-X as well as the strip. This year i got the engine done to easily do those times, got alot bigger rear sway bar, adjustable uppers and solid lowers, poly bushings in the front. next year will be the brake's and springs. but as of now it's a total different car. Hope to see you at some up coming events.. Scot w.

i was at the World of Wheels at Atlanta this week end. Some guy had a black 87 Olds Cutlass with all the V/6 Turbo Buick stuff on it. It was a pleasant change..Looked very good and was a little different.

Definetly like the look of your car, the black wheels give it that really cool, tough look. I've been thinking about going with black wheels on my GN too, but haven't picked any out yet. Good looking car and I like the direction you've taken it, that's where I'm planning on going with mine too!
