I figure I have a blend of both, but not enough of either. My car is a little bit better looking than it was stock and a little bit faster than stock. I'm still working on the speed part slowly but surely, but as for apperance the most I see myself doing is getting a sunoco hood in the future and thats about it.

yeah the cad's pretty flashy in stock form, but I dont plan on making it any flashier... but the reason I bought the car is because of the ls6, t56 and 4 doors, not be cause its blinged out, if i would of be patient I would be driving a trailblazer SS

Is it track/race only? Then looks don't really matter, make it all about the power and waste no money on appearance.

Is it mostly for street cruising? Then it needs to be a nice blend of power and looks respective to the goals of the car, IMO.

I like to say "What's good is go without a little show".

The appearance of the car is my main focal point. Power is great, but you need the "icing on the cake" to make the package complete.

Power over looks anyday.
I prefer to have the power with just a subtle touch of appearance mods, I love blowing guys away who think they car looks amazing but they dont have the power to back it up

personaly i would show my car instead of race it, i like the sound of a cc306 cam with open cutout from the long tube headers. I want to preserve my car for years to come, but i also like to go fast once in a while so i would do a blend 50% looks 50% power, i want it to look sick but then u go full throttle and your like dam!!!

I would say performance. I've got about $600 worth of visual mods and about $3-4k in performance. I'd rather have everyone think the car is stock and the blow their doors off than people not want to run cause they think your car looks fast.

They go hand in hand. Nobody wants a car that looks bad and isnt and nobody wants a car that runs like a raped date and looks like a beater. So i say they are both important if i had to choose between the two it would be performance there isnt much about the f-bodys that need improvement in looks except maybe a hood, spoiler, and wheels and that covers the looks dept. Spend the rest on making that s.o.b. run.

I like having a near stock level car with all the go fast goodies. Clean car is happy car. But Having stickers and 20 ich rims and spoilers dnot' do it for me.

A very clean, sleeper approach. Nothing fancy, just something that keeps everyone wondering really what's under the hood...
