Bwahahahahaha!!!!


I also say performance over looks. I will be getting 18x9 inch Saleens soon, along with a tuner. I'm buying the wheels so I have an excuse to drop a few hundred on teh tuner, hehe.

id say go with the looks. i have an 00 6cyl i lowered it put cobra rims on it gt hood scoop tinted windows mach 1 chin spoiler and a buch of other things i get alot of complements on it. people also dont know what it is meaning if its a gt cobra or 6 cyl. it doesnt make sense to spend money on motor work cause its gona take alot to make it really fast.

i agree with nmustang, with a sixer, either go ***** out or dont, because bolt ons cost a lot and hardly do anything. do whatever you want though, its your car, your money, your time. just think of it like this and you'll never go wrong...choice, opportunity cost, and consequences. if you think you need something, think about what else you could get for the same amount of money and decide if it's still worth it to you.

heres a question, how much money do you have to work with? if you have a nice grand or two, id def go performance, such as even savin up for a nice s/c. but if you dont have that much, then id say just do show, but do it CLASSY. please, no riced out body kits, no GT or cobra emblems, no huge aluminum wing. its one thing to look stylish, but in my opinion its dumb to make ur car look way faster than it really is.

Why not both? thats what Ive done, I havent setup my car for show or anything but I have a good audio setup and as far as appearance mods I get a lot of compliments, I for one cant concentrate on just one thing, Ive just been building up my car slowly, As far as performance for my car I didnt want to do too many modifications since I plan on doing a swap later on, so all I did was a CAI, exhaust, and a diablo chip, suspension then I started to work on my audio and now Im done with my audio, next I am getting new mirrors and an optima battery and then I should be done for a while... so you dont necessarily need to concentrate on one thing... that way you can have the best of both worlds
