      Pro Touring fouls

      What are some automotive things that you like that might get you made fun of on this board?

      For instance, I like a taller stance than what most on this board would consider acceptable. Wide tires and tall enough to not worry about collectors raking a speed bump if I'm not paying enough attention. I find myself torn between what I like and what functions best (lowered for handling).

      Oh, and I confess...... I like........ 15 in. wheels. There I said it.

      So, there is my admission. Now what are yours?

      LOL, I confess to small fat rims too. If I wasn't driving on tracks that much I'd love to do an old school Trans Am 69 Mustang on 15/16" balloons, spiced with modern tech. But there's no denying the advantages of low stiff sidewalls in a tire.

      Other rides: 1969 Mustang GT1

      I like a fat 'ol carbureted big block Chevy, which is not the best choice for corner carving (or MPG) in this sea of lightweight LSx conversions.

      Ya man the old Pontiac 455 with a Qjet is not "in style" between the fenders of the bird but I love it. I also tend to like my car some what higher than the cool guys do. I did get a few 4X4 jabs when I was building it.

      I love the old style straight spoke American Racing Torque-Thrust 15" wheels.
      But you can't really get great 15" tires or big brakes behind them.

      I love the Vintage Trans-AM look too.

      There is a long list of imports that I'd love to build next. Actually, there's no domestic cars on the "next up" list.
