Although it is hard to classify a Skyline GTR as a sleeper I prefer to keep mine as stock looking as possible. Must be performance for me.

Haha, thats funny... and so true. I would say performance and looks. I love the way some cars look but sometimes they are slow and don't perform well. Other times ill see a car and be like 'damn thats ugly' and then it starts drivin and im just like 'damn....'

Re: Looks, Sound, or Preformance?

Seriously though, if you're not taking it to the track, who cares how fast it is. If I were to hook up my Maxima, it would be for looks and sound. It is as fast as I could ever need on the street, adding 100 hp would be useless; there is nowhere to use it except at the track.

Daily Driver: Looks, Sound
Track Car: Performance

Re: Looks, Sound, or Preformance?

Its all a matter of preferance. Personally, i dont think adding 100hp is ever useless. But like i said its all preferance, some ppl drive just to get from A to B, and some drive just for the ride. I love cars way too much to just make them look nice. They gotta perform.

Re: Looks, Sound, or Preformance?

i'm one of the few people i know that actually enjoys driving...based on that, i gotta go with performance.

what's the point of looking fast if you can't back it up?

Re: Looks, Sound, or Preformance?

With Alfa Romeo's you get all of that- Drop dead gorgeous looks, orgasmic sound and awe-inspiring peformance. Too bad they are so high maintenence (Meh, what Italian isn't?)

Performance. Who the hell wants a car that's all flashy with bumpin tunes that runs like a damn golf cart? Rusted out El Camino with a 600 hp big block? NO PROBLEM!

Re: Looks, Sound, or Preformance?

Definately performance. I would rather have a truck or a car that puts you back in your seat and makes your passanger curl up in the fetal position and chew their finger nails than a one that makes me look like a rich pretty boy. No pun intended.

Performance. The car doesn't nessecerialy need to be fast, but if it can't at least double the recomended on/off ramp speed limit, I dont want to have anything to do with it.

All of the above.But if it's a daily driver,none of said modifications should compromise its practicality.
