id rather have a car that I think is sexy, and is fast....not really going to be able to use the full potential of faster cars really lol

Id still have an Evo VIII, sex on wheels that car....and its fast :y:

I buy a car for its looks. Speed is just an advantage.

My next car will be speed and looks IF i get what i want

Got to be looks, i would love a fast car, but wouldn't want a rusty old metro with a 2litre turbo engine in it. For speed it would have to be a nice looking car aswell.

djrem

sometimes i masturbate at the sight of my car.

im really starting to become proud of what ive managed to turn from a skip on my driveway into a leather filled gun metal whore fest

if i wanted speed then thats exactly what i would like the car too look like tbh.

Sleepers ftw.

there is a Volkswagon Beetle in southend that looks like a shitter.

In the boot is a 3.2 911 engine :) its the sex

got to be both, but would have speed in the form of acceleration as you can use it alot more than top speed!!

A bit of both, I would always buy a car that had something to give power wise and looks wise.

Depends on your financial situation I guess.

For me my fav car is an RX-7,

Look wise theyre gorgeous,
and reasonably Fasssst too.


However, Id drive a Scorpio Cossy or whatever because of pure speed.

Has to be speed and looks for me, but I lean more towards speed, don't like driving some thing that takes a week to get to 60mph

8th November 2007, 13:44

Chris

I like both when it comes to recent cars... i.e. FTO looks great, sounds great and goes great..... Astra Coupe Turbo, Looks great, goes like poo off a spade!!

When it comes to old cars I'd go totally for looks..... i.e. Mk1 Escort, Mk1 Cortina, Vw Bus, Vw Karmaan Ghia, Vw Beetle!!!!!

Chris :)

Both looks and speed. Both can be achieved with modding.

A car would have to look good and be pretty quick for me to buy it.I wouldnt go out and buy a super quick car if it looked like abit of dog shit.

frankie
8th November 2007, 17:21
speed.....if you look you shit....when your goning so fast that no one can see you looks arnt important ;)

RedB
8th November 2007, 17:23
more speed than looks but cars like Skylines, RX-7s and evos all come fairly quick factory tuned.

VTS suits me atm, comfortably stripped, light quality ICE install and tasty exterior mods eg sexy white alloys (not chrome 20's) colour coded etc

Couldnt pay me to drive a shitter...unless a spare slot on top gear is ever available :geek:

I love a car that looks fast and goes the way it looks. But I get too excited and would loose my licence on a fast car.

Both cause you can have it all.

Looks personally, but I like speed there for overtaking on motorways and pulling out of junctions etc.
