"All show no go" or "All go no show"?

[RedRaven]

My dad always said it's better to have a Sleeper than a Dresser! GO!

[Camper]

hows this for go and no show? this thing has been in the mud on more than 1 occasion!

[LSXaddict]

All go if I had to choose but I like tasteful show that also serves a go purpose like wheels, splitters, rotors etc.

Damn proud my car looks fast, and never goes over 70 mph around town...

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

I'm sure this is true in your opinion. IMO, I could say it's like marrying a supermodel and keeping her in the garage, and only taking her out when there is a show, or it's sunny and 85 degrees, then putting her in a trailer and towing her there, in style of course. I don't care to add any "blinky lights", plastidip, glitter, or undercar lights... why? Garage Queen or Speed Demon, it's all in what you want to do with your car. If my speed boat does 150 mph in that lake and it makes me happy, then who is anyone to complain or tell me how wrong I am. I don't care for $5 plastic trophy to collect dust. I want to go faster than the other guy is all.

So OP, it's up to you, or do a little of both. What is your first thing you really want to do with your car, then Just Do It. All of us on the forum are just happy you have a camaro, now make it 'fit' you and only you.

I mod my car to please me, nobody else. It's fast enough for me as it came from the factory so I don't care about making it faster. I think everyone should make their car into whatever pleases them and not worry about what others do or think about it.
No matter how fast you make a car there are those that will be faster, it also goes no matter how good you think your car looks there are those that think their car looks better. In the Game if you are trying to beat the Jonses in speed or looks you will go broke trying. Just make it what YOU like.

probably, the point is these threads always degenerate into the "go" guys are real men, everyone else is a weak s**k....just like the auto vs manual threads....

Go

[2010 SSRS]

Definitely All Go, it's all about more horsepower for me and the Camaro comes perfect looking from the factory so no show needs to be added.

As much as I'd like to say all go because thats the response thats probably going to get the most respect, but I'm going with practicality and gonna say all show.

Now, with the camaro, all show no go is still actually pretty go. Even my v6 isn't a slacker.

But lets be real here, the vast majority of the time, you car will be crusing from 45-70 on the road. Most people don't race all the time, so I'd rather have a beautiful car lacking in power than a junker looking car with a ton of power.

Women (for the most part) really only care about the looks. I could drive around in a ferrari 458 chassi with a 4 cylinder underneath and she wouldn't know the difference. So if you have any aspirations to get laid, show beats go (carwise) most of the time.

You get more bang for your buck when you pick show over go. You're never really gonna be able to show off your "go" unless your at the track or something similar. "show" is visible to everyone at any time for anyone to enjoy.

So, while show and go is obviously more desirable, if I had to choose one, it would definitely be show. And I bet many people would also pick this but not be able to admit it.

I’m sorry dude, but I absolutely disagree with this. 1st of all, if a woman is going to bang you because of your car… she will know the difference between the real Ferrari and fake Ferrari. Much like a woman with any sense of fashion will know the difference between a real coach purse and a fake coach purse just by looking at it. <- I have dealt with a lot of high maintenance women in my time, trust me on that one.

But as far as Camaros go, I have never had a girl in my car that didnt say “hit it” (talking about the gas pedal of course). I have however seen women get very pissed off when I beat her and her husband in their $200,000 Ferrari.

If you have a “show” car and you drive by someone who doesn’t care about cars in general, it won’t matter. Same with GO, doesn’t matter how much power you got, if the person next to you isn’t a car enthusiast they won’t look twice to figure out what the whistling sound is coming from under your hood (supercharger/turbo). My car is noticeably fast, because of the sound and very distinguished Procharger whistle. So when I pull up next to someone that cares even a little about cars, I give em a little rev and probably get a better reaction than a show car.

People take pictures of show cars…… they take videos of fast cars.

I'm sure your car has lots of go. But it has lots of show too. That's one sexy mofo!
