Default yer car's future...

i see most people on here want to make their cars fast...
they care primarily on that...

but i was wondrin'...

If you could do anything to your car... any year mustang and any model... what would you do to it while keeping it street legal?

Would you

A. mod the hell out of it and thrive for the most powerful street legal car on the road...

B. Mod it to the point where you know its quick... maybe not the fastest... but looks dern nice, is very drivable and a fun cruiser, and looks good?

state why
_-_______________________________

i myself would go w/ B. If i were to mod a car i would make it a track car. I like driving it and affording gas... sounds nice, looks nice (cant wait til i swap them tails and wheels tho)... i know many cars can woop my ass but i still like my car bestest...

I'm #2 on that.I've done the everything for speed in the past and now I want the extra power but I really want it too look damn nice.I love it when I pull in somewhere and everyone is looking at the car.Also I want it too sound mean as hell so even if it is'nt that fast it sure sounds like it is.

I've debated this for awhile now and looks and sound is what I go for the most.Trying to make it look different is always my goal.

There will always be somebody faster but will it look good doing it?

Power is only so good to a point untill it gets unusable. Sure a 800 HP street car is badass, but where are you going to play with that on the street?

hmmmm......honestly, my mach is pretty damn quick as it is, but I want about an extra 30-35rwhp & torque, rims & tires and a few suspension mods....maybe maybe some gears, but I wouldn't do that until I had another daily driver. So I guess option B for me also

A)-because whats the point of looking good if you cant back it up? I am old school i would rather keep the outside simple and make it scream. Hence another reason i wont buy DD wheels or run 18" rims or get a body kit.

I would have to go with B. It's not like I race or anything and so much power would just get me in trouble. As long as I have enough power to suit most of my needs then that is fine. And by the way my, car as of right now definitely is no where close to my needs.

I would also go with B. I don't race regardless, just like the fact that I would be able to whoop ass without trying hard.

see... i really dont need to prove myself to people... if i was to make a screamer i'd make it a track car... i am a very lazy person... far to lazy to prove to every1 on the street that my car is as fast as it looks good

Im going to have to go with B. Though i would keep the exterior clean and fresh, I just would want so much power that i couldnt use it like MattJ said.

I'm option B also.

I'm fine with the power I'm making now. The car looks nice and clean as it is. I'd like to lower it a bit without ruining the ride since we use it for long trips. I want to put on some Chrome Bullitt wheels and tint the windows, grille delete kit and chrome letters for the bumper. Once I do all that I'm happy with the car. Well, pull the motor and build the bottom end also, but that's already in planning.
