Re: Looks, Sound, or Preformance?

Looks personally. It could be the fastest and best sounding car in the world, but if it is butt ugly, I won't have anything to do with it.

Re: Looks, Sound, or Preformance?

Its all about the performance for me. Looks and sound is just only to pick up girls or to get attetion. But a lot of people would probably like to see how fast and well your car peforms on the streets or the track.

Has to be performance. If you don't perform, you won't get the girls!

Re: Looks, Sound, or Preformance?

I think all three are important. You buy a car because you love the sound of its v8... or the sound of the turbo spooling. you buy a car because its sleek, its a certain color. and you buy the car, because it was a blast to drive.


if I have to pick one, I would say performance. if it doesnt have that get up and go... whats the point of driving it.

maybe but a £/$5000+ bodykit and an extra loud silencer are nouthing without the souped up engine. i know someone with a fiesta with a £1000+ bodykit, a loud silencer chipped engine and neons but the engine is only 1.25 litres.everyone just laughs at him (including me). and also without performance cars we wouldnt have motorsport. (scary thought)

Re: Looks, Sound, or Preformance?

Looks and performance are both important for me.

But personally Id rather have a performance car over a good looking car.

If your self-conscience about the cars look, might as well car yourself suzy already...BITCH!

Having a good looking car that's slow is like having a kid who takes karate lessons but is still a pussy.

Re: Looks, Sound, or Preformance?

No doubt in my mind... Perfomance is the way to go.

The main purpose of a car is to 'go'. If your car can 'go' a little more, then it's more of a car.
