I like both... but thinking of this in a different way, I'd rather spend all day at the track driving than sitting in a lawn chair in a hot parking lot all day.

Lord Ryan · 09-09-2013, 09:36 AM

I have the V6 and the MPG is bad enough, and I believe preformance mods will only make it worse. So I vote all Show. I love the way my RS looks, would make few if any changes there. So I vote neither, unless stock equal shows.

*EDIT

I would take a 1LE over my RS any day. I dream about making my RS look like a 1LE, will probabnly never do it. I will be the first person to put in an order for 4 cyl Z28 when it comes out.

So I dream of the performance and sexiness of the 1LE, but I want the efficiency of a Civic.

4 cyl Z/28? Don't hold your breath

All go!

Ject · 09-09-2013, 09:42 AM

If I had to choose just one I probably wouldn't choose any.

I choose both, it is difficult and expensive to do GO and also make the GO stuff Show quality.

VENOM XLI · 09-09-2013, 09:43 AM

I love my show but its worthless without the go!!!!

dorfmac · 09-09-2013, 09:59 AM

Show. Look good, feel good. If you want performance, just get the SS or ZL1 and there is more than enough performance coming stock from those vehicles for your average person. Really, the only reason you'd need more performance than comes stock is if you track the car, and I'd say more people don't track it than do

All go no show. As nice as cosmetics are, they cant replicate the feeling when you go WOT.

JR 1 · 09-09-2013, 10:04 AM

Half say the Camaro is all show? What half is that? Even the V6 is quick, let alone the SS and ZL1.

I'll be honest and say if I had to pick one it would be show, and I think most would do the same even if they won't admit it. History shows a good looking car with no performance can sell, but it's hard to sell a performance car with no looks. Take the Vette for instance, sales were the highest during the years when it was a complete dog. Then look at the last generation GTO. It had legitimate performance, but since it looked like a Cavalier it didn't sell.

It isn’t saying its all show coming off the lot. The term is referencing if you wanted to mod your car. So if you could make a show car, or a go car, how would you choose to mod it?

Saying the V6 is quick is relative, same with the SS and ZL1. I’m sure lots of people (myself included) who own a SS or ZL1 have modified the car to go even faster than it already does….. Not everyone does, It’s a matter of choice. Personally I thought my SS wasn't fast enough when it was stock….. so I fixed that.

I would rather be fast than trying to look fast

EMB135Driver · 09-09-2013, 11:13 AM

Until the speed limit changes, having an insane amount of power and handling won't really help anyone unless you spend all your days at a track. As it sits stock, the SS has more than enough power for a daily driver, so I think adding anything else, while really neat, isn't much of an investment....kind of like buying an offshore powerboat or a yacht and putting it in a lake that's only a mile long....what's the point.

I guess I'd rather have the looks over 1500 RWHP.
