Default Show or Go?

I'm wondering what other people go towards more when modding their Z's. Do you look more for show or for go?

Show, because the Z isn't very fast comparatively to many vehicles, and even with 500 whp it's quite slow cause it has trouble with traction... so I figure it's easier to make one of the sexiest cars out there look better. You'd get more of your money's worth going for show than go on the Z imho.

Nieh...

I think the best thing to do w/ the Z is fit it to ur style.

I like a clean car... so body kits (unless they are extraordinarily clean like the JDM Nismo) are out of the question for me. Rims need to not be crazy...but plain.... TE/LE's and LMGT4's are my favorite (although im a huge fan of the SF-Challenges on highly modded cars... the rim is just so nice).

Im also an audiophile so i like a good sound system...

Performance... i daily drive the Z so nothing too extravigant, but i would love to make my Z trackable... right now i would prefer not to track it until i get at least sways (soon)... and im waiting to see reviews on the Quaife LSD before i get my hands on that. Upgraded brakes would be nice too.

I wish i was out of college and could afford a 2nd car.. preferably a Nissan Armada or JeepGrand Cherokee.. audio in those cars... straight performance in the Z.

For me just having a show car is like having a drop dead gorgeous mistress whom you cannot sleep with and have fun in bed with. Thats doesnt do it for me.

Its a go car for me all the way. Its a car that performs and happens to look great.

I go with GO first...then show...
I have many trophies with many other cars from the show circuit but I LOVE to race and drive so doing engine mods first is a MUST...

You get more respect at shows and track when fixing the engine/performance FIRST.

I like both looks and speed, but if I had to choose one it would be speed.

I go with SHOW first because I can't afford GO. It's much more expensive.

I think the poll should be "Show or Go FIRST?" cuz most people would want both. Just that their priorities are different.

For me, first month, show and sound (done and done), after that, save up the big bux for all GO babyy!! Almost there...probably a couple more months, I'll start doing my all go mods...SGP longblock, APS TT, etc...so close...
