I'm a "Go" kinda guy. The Z look dead sexy stock, so why mess with it much? Besides, I like the "dropped jaw" effect when I pass by a modded stang and they ask....."WTF is in that thing?!!!!" And I reply....."its stock bro...come back when you have a 10lbs pulley for your SC!!" hahaha.

Anyway, I am more show than go. I do agree with the consensus though, a bit of show mixed in with all that go is the best, IMO, for the street. Who wants a totally gutted street car (and I mean gutted, engine, trans and body shell only) with no show? All go is too much unless you are building a track only.
On a somewhat related note (I told the wife no mods until car was out of warranty or paid off, see sig), I have a disease. Last night, I was wondering how much weight I could save by dumping the spare tire, jack, tow hook thingy; pulling all the plastic from the car I could, etc, etc. This is what I get for swearing off go-fast goodies for a while, I am looking for perfomance gains anywhere I can! The car is only three weeks old! Someone, slap me now! Stop the madness!

Both, to show your gonna need the "go fast" parts. What I dont like, is the ones that gut their interior to do the whole weight reduction thing!

I'm usually less impressed with a show car, something about how flashy they are turns me off. Even if the car has some speedy mods, all that noise is just too much for me. I do however love the GO.
That's not to say don't put anything on the exterior, but subtle styling is key to making a car look good in my view.

The demographic for Z owners would seem to definately lean towards go, rather than show, which I knew before I saw the results so far. You can put some nice shoes on there and maybe a few little things to spice it up a bit, but put most of the cash in go. I just see no point in having an uber nice show car, thats still slow as a dog. I rather have a go car that will smoke the show car, and not look quite as pretty.
