Interesting model, but it certainly isn't a pro-touring car. It's a traditional street machine along the lines of a pro-street car (and if it's got slicks in back, it's pro stock; pro-street have rear tires w/tread to make them street legal). Big difference. Just because it's a vintage car doesn't make it a pro-tourer.

Pro-touring cars have modern mechanicals and suspensions/wheels/tires that are made for all-around handling and carving up the corners, not simply straight line speed. They're pretty much the antithesis of pro street if you know what I mean. They're slick looking (smooth hoods or perhaps a small scoop or cowl induction hump, not open w/a huge blower and stacks), comfortable, and are setup for balanced performance much like a modern sports/GT car. A thoroughly modern car underneath w/vintage bodywork.

Have fun w/it, no matter what classification it really is .
