    To me there is nothing better than driving and good car with only a moments notice nailing on the throttle and showing it's more than just a nice looking toy but also a beast.

    If all the people that say they care nothing about the way a car looks were telling the truth, there wouldn't be so many threads about I did so and so to my car, what do ya think. Then low and behold there will be someone that says form over function commenting on how bad a body mod looks. Truth is other than the real racers on this site, everyone cares what their car looks like. This shit was built on the basis of show cars. I mean come on, you really think all 40,000 members signed up cause they are racers. Look at the amount of people that actually hang out in the kills forum compared to the car pics. Whether people want to admit it or not, the majority of the people get into cars for a little performance, but mostly to look good as hell. With that said I believe in a good balance of show and go.

    I'd say I'm similar. I like to have some power behind the wheel...but like to have extensive exterior mods lol. I'm happy with the ...~250 HP my Z produces. I see what you're saying about the handling though, I like my Z a whole lot better than I liked my Mustangs

    x2! I just hate to see a car that has obviously had a lot of exterior modification and everyone posting "Oh, I hope you have some engine mods to match all those shiny add-ons"
