Re: Show Quality Vs Performance

Re: Show Quality Vs Performance

of course, a car that looks fast and isn't is a disgrace.

Re: Show Quality Vs Performance

go for show, but get some basic performace upgrades. like at least a short ram intake, and a cat back exhuast. It seems you are already going the show route anyways with the body kit and spoiler etc.

a GS is never going to be fast with out dumping a ton of money on a turbo. then who cares if you car's fast if it looks like crap

being a moderator and all, you'd think that you could come up with something more origanial. stop bashing peoples non turbo cars man, and stop telling everyone to buy a gsx. its getting old real fast.
