I've had the attitude that if doesn't make my car go faster, I am not interested. I also like sneaking people who mistake my car for stock. Taking a look at some of the beautiful work that has been done to some of the members rides has got me thinking about changing my tune.
Would any "go" people trade some of their mods for more show?
Any "show" folks wishing they bought a S/C instead of a body kit, paint and wheels?
I am at the breaking point (literally) without getting forged internals and am either going to build a ***** out motor or dress my car up with some show goodies?
Thoughts?

At work, stores, friends and families homes, etc etc i always get people looking/staring at my car asking a zillion questions. only twice has anyone ever asked me if i race it, or how much horsepower it has. my sig does not show it's current state btw, it looks much better now.
my car can look good anywhere and everywhere, but there are only a few select times i can "go." and when you "go" you only impress about 2% of the people seeing you race down the road, the rest think "He will kill someone."
So, for me. SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A ***** out motor is cheaper than you think for what you got. Build your block with forged internals. ~$5500 If you pay someone
Show with no go is posing IMHFO

It's a matter of personal preference as shown by all of the good responses above. Personally, I like subtle show and just enough go to make it fun to drive. I choose not to enter the "horespower race" since there are several 800 HP (plus) cars in my little town and there will ALWAYS be someone with something faster down the line. If you want to end up with both show and go, just priortize what mods are most important to you and go for it - and enjoy.

I suppose all go would be a track car because most of you dont believe in street racing. i like to buy show mods then go mods, back and forth like that, keeps me balanced. you can never have too much go unlike too much show.

Well since you already have alot of stuff done to it I would go for show. You got the GT for proformace and you got it now put a little show on it. Dont go with full body kit but just put a few dress ups on it then put some more in the motor. After you get the motor where you want it then you can put the rest of the dress on
