Performance or Looks?

Which one do you Honda guys think is more important? Performance or the looks of the car?

Defenitely Performance. But youll get killed easier if your car is shit fast, well at least me...

A blend of both is always the best options in my opinion, the thing is some performance things make the car look better at the same time, wheels, big brakes for example.

A stockish looking car that is very fast is better compared to a car that looks really racy and its slow, but it all comes down to taste...whatever floats ones boat, there is no need for negative/non constructive critisicm is you dicide to modifiy the exterior of your car for show purposes.

I'd rather have a neck snapper than a head turner. Both when riding in the car and watching it.

Im going to be different and say looks, for example in my opinion nothing looks better than a huge turbo slapped on a built up engine....its a beautiful sight...and dont let anyone pick on stickers, each sticker adds about 20hp

That is hilarious man. Best response to this type of question I've ever seen.
But yes I agree with everyone so far that performance is the way to go. Even if your car looks "good", if it drives like sh*t and is slower than a Geo Metro; then what's the point of driving it. And to me performance doesn't just mean speed, it's also about the quality of the ride and the handling as well.

a good balance of both is good, theres guys that are all out performance, theres guys that want the speed but still want to impress and there is guys who just want some weekend p*ssy

Think about it this way. To get a really nice looking car it would cost you a few grand for a nice body kit, hood, good quality paint job not the $199 special, whatever else you crazy kids do. And with that few grand you could instead swap in a more powerful engine, slap a turbo on it and drive fast as hell. Sure it wont impress the average girl but when you beat her boyfriend in the corvette she might give you a wink or so.

Lets put a k20a in there

Performance. That's my first priority. Afterwards, make it look nice, but keep it modest.

bingisSD · 12-13-2004, 06:05 PM

depends on if you have a girl already or you need a lure to get one. Performance and Looks can't really coincide very well because good looking aftermarket parts add weight. totally stripped out/down car performs the best, so have a car for both. a car for the track and a car for the saturday afternoon stroll along the boulevard like me :¬). tw my show car runs like crap. I only repair the racing motor.

Performance.

civickiller · 12-13-2004, 06:19 PM

performance. nothin worse then riding with a girl in a nice show car, then some pos pulls up next to you and you race him and get your ass handed to you.
