If you could only have one which would it be - Looks or Performance?

[midinite]

There are those that place all sorts of stickers and even spoilers to their cars to make it look nice but do nothing in the form of performance upgrades. Will it go faster by making it look so?

There are those that couldnt care about looks but create sleepers and spend all on hopping up their ride. May not look the part but will ride like lightning.

Lets say you can only choose one. Which will it be?

[Bogeyman]

Performance for me. It's priceless to see the look on people's faces when they discover that your ride is so much more capable than it looks. :D

[Airwalk]

performance! hindi yung puro porma la naman wenta

[bougartt]

I'd rather have a sleeper,than a car than would just look the part but has nothing to say..


But for some reason i love this saying..
"STICKERS MAKE YOUR CAR GO FASTER" hahahaha

[alwayz_yummy]

my preference:

i dont believe looks can save you in an emergency.. i rather have a performance car than having a body-kitted ride!

experienced this on a dawn of chrstmas, in my maxima.. sa commonwelt market area.. kawawa ung kiapride na kasabay ko, naabutan ng gang war, buti nakaalis agad ako...

Performance. Form follows function.

[Memphis Raines]

Looks easily go out of style but Performance? NEVER.

Performance is the true art in cars. The best thing about it is that you dont only get to see it...you feel it everytime you shift a gear.

[Sarsi]

performance definitely.

[midinite]

hmm. sometimes nga i wonder why there are cars out there that are heavily kitted on the outside but arent too souped up underneath the hood. baka minor engine mods lang pero pareho pa rin ang drivetrain, diff etc as it came off the line. is it a matter of personal style? is this part of jeepney culture?

[rusem]

performance will definitely get you somewhere... plain looks will get you nowhere...

[alwayz_yummy]

just like comparing gwapo/maganda lang vs. sa mala-bakekang/quasimodong blackbelter!

[Memphis Raines]

Yup, you hit the nail right on the head. Jeepney culture emphasizes the Filipino's love for borloloy. Mahilig talaga tayo sa maraming kulay, tunog to kill the blues.

I guess we're a jolly bunch

of that there is no doubt...masaya at kenkoy dito.. and it reflects in the ride...so is it also a matter of being a poseur vs. a driver

[niky]

Hmmm... hard to answer.

Personally, I believe in performance first and foremost. If I do get dress-up parts, it's only parts that have performance value... like my rims: I only got them because my stock rims were too narrow for sports tires.

But there's something to be said for personalizing your ride. If all you've got is an old Civic or Corolla, with millions of others on the street, adding a little something different is a way to stand out. A flashy paint job, body kit, rims, etcetera... they help make you different.

And heck, if your car's unique, it lessens the chance that you'll get carnapped.

Still doesn't mean that it's in good taste. Sleeper all the way for me.

[tr1ck5h07]

i just take care of my stock style para clean look

siguro kung magdadagdag ako, rims na and maybe a set of projector HIDs

[Helios]

oi one sided itong thread na to ah. it's understandable, everyone yearns power in any form. but there are certain people who'd go after the appearance factor probably initially, then follow it up with performance upgrade afterwards. cost might be the primary reason- e.g. cheap bodykit over expensive cf/titanium parts. wow factor may come in next basically aimed at the opposite ***- don't ask, it works. novelty value factor ranks high among afficionados of vintage car restoration while for artists/showbiz pips/royalties, passion factor would be their inspiration. in other words, aesthetic sensibility for some people give them some kind of exclusivity. I guess your choice really depends on where you're coming from. different strokes for different folks, yes?

[ssaloon]

performance.

sleeper is king.

[oldblue]

looks.

for me.

[the_wildthing]

Syempre performance. Kaya dapat laging physically fit para may "staying power".



Ay sa kotse pala. Hehehe.

Performance pa rin.

[nugundam93]

performance. :D
