I think I have the answer to all of this nonsense. It is a way better thought out thought than before
I believe that a lot of the guys here and all over arent' really into "pro-touring", the new "mainstream" car building is hotrod/restomod or whatever they call it, the chip foose/boyd coddington, troy trepanier builds/style. These are show cars that use certain aspects of the pro-touring style. These are the new breed of show cars and are VERY popular. What seems to be happening is people recognize pro-touring as mainstream now and are taking certain aspects of the pro-touring genre in building their cars. They come to this site and participate and take away what they need. Like the twin turbo boyd vetter, no one called that a protouring car, the owner posted here. It was a show car that took some of the pro-touring fashion and combined it, should we kick him off? did he ever say his car was protouring? IF he posted project updates of his car should we attack him? Now if they are going out and calling their cars protouring that isn't exactly correct, but so what...its gonna happen. there are always posers or just plain confused people...so what? I really like these new style of show cars. People actually drive them a little more, as you can see on teh power tour. They are geared towards performance a lot more than the previous show cars. I think that B Cichocki summed it up in a very good way, better than i can say it. This is a topic that keeps seeming to come up. BTW nineball.....so how does that car handle? time for a road coarse!! IF it can turn as good as it goes straight you might consider entering in teh RSE contest, you might just win.....if it can turn!
