PRO TOUR was on my mind when I bought IT 
But to pro tour a vette with WIDE *** wheels and tires,
thats a lot of work to make it happen, I would think most
car guys, dont want to start cutting into the frame. While
most car's, you can fit wide wheels right up.

I have done and driven both!
First the Pro Street; I really love the look! My Pro Street Truck always would gather a crowd.
But trying to keep up with or stay up-front of our corvette club cruises it was a hand full to drive. Anything over 85 MPH was scarey. 
But it look very cool 
on the street.
Second Pro Touring; I would say that the diffenation of that statement is All Corvette. If you look it up in the dictionary it should have a pic of a corvette. IMO

Now Pro Touring; IMO is All Corvette! If you look up the word Pro Touring in the dictionary it shoud have a pic of a Corvette!!!

I was at the peak of my car-crazy years in high school, 1969 -71 in suburban Detroit, and Corvette was the ultimate car. Of course, none of the high school kids could afford a corvette. One teacher had a 454 chevelle and it was very highly regarded (even if it was not a vette) but the Mopars..... the Challengers and Cudas, came years after Mustang and Camaro and were generally viewed as poor late to the party copycats in clownish colors like lime green and purple. Of course, this could be the very reason they are so expensive today. More people owned them back then and are trying to relive their youth today. But we go on and on about how expensive a 67 bigblock vette is, but when you see an auction like BJ you realize that the vettes as a whole are UNDERVALUED!!!!
