Sexy Vs Speed
« on: 21 December 2003, 21:24 »
So, would you rather have a sexier looking Golf with a standard engine or a faster version of whatever engine but same looks.

E.g.

GTI performance (Im awaiting golfvr6's insult here) but with a Hella spoiler and different sexier bodykit, 17" wheels, lowered, Brembo discs and red calipers,  blacked out windows, Magnex exhaust system etc etc

OR

a GTI 16v that gets to 60 in 6.5secs but looks the same as every other GTI 16v...

Id rather have the tarted up job... 3 reasons: -

1: Everyone drools over it as you park up and go shopping or cruise
2: Speed limit is 60Mph (70Mph on motorway)
3: I dont race often... Id rather have people WANTING to race me to see how quick the tarted up job is...

let em guess!  ;D

nah that logic doesnt work

1.. they know you're a poser (didnt u see them spend 2 worthwhile minutes on top gear 2nite slaggin off the TT for being a posers car..)

2.. *cough*.. even so.. its not how fast u can go, its how fast u can get there ;)

3.. they'd know not to both since its obviously a tarted up car.. would be like trying to race a saxo furio (thats a 1.4 in vts clothing...)

I like the standard looks with power! you can't beat an unmolested golf.
Thats why i like the old Audis so much. Audi 90 20v quattro, doesn't look like it will go fast but 170bhp.
I was driving it a few months back when getting on the M3 some twit in a fiat brava decided he want to race me.
Ha Ha Ha see ya later  :D

You can't beat when you pull up to the lights and a Vaxhall Corsa GTE/SRI pulls up with the full body kit on and wheels, slammed etc.... then you leave them standing.. I love it!!!!!

PS my new car is a 16v the 8v is going..... pictures soon..

I'd rather have a plain car with awesome power...

One day i'd like to shoehorn a v6 into a Nissan micra. Just for fun.

Nothing better than burning off a poser in my clapped out F plate Honda.
