Pro-Touring (also known as "Resto-Mods") is considered in most circles to be an older car that has been updated to be an even better daily driver and performance vehicle. Pro-Touring cars are generally around 1976 and older, when cars had drum brakes and poor handling.

Some common upgrades to a Pro-Touring car (or truck) are:

• New suspensions components, such as IRS, replacing (Chrysler) torsion bars with upper lower control arms, subframes, swaybars, panhard bars, air suspensions, coil-overs, rack-n-pinion, etc.
• 4-wheel disc brakes, larger rotors and calipers, powered brakes, etc.
• New style interiors, dash upgrades.
• New performance (wider) tires and rims.
• New engine modifications, fuel injection, etc.
• The body on the outside generally stays stock, in some cases with minor massaging, such as a different hood or light fender flairs.
• The idea is to keep the outside of the car looking stock, but have the handling and power of a modern Corvette.
