I like going fast but everyone knows that 5.0s are already fast so why not go for both, don't get me wrong I LOVE sleepers.

both. good looking sleepers are nice, but a car with peeling/faded paint that is dirty and has brake dust all over the rims is kinda blahh. yeah it might go fast but still... jmo.

Guess I'm the oddball in the group. I would rather look good then go fast.

First off the 5.0 is plenty fast for me. I don't drag or street race so the accel is enough to give me a smile.

But when my car looks great, then I can make it go fast.
