And what the **** do you drive?

Why is the car a poser car? As I said in my last post, the car is fully sponsored, hence all the stuff you see. Lots of stuff was installed for show, but the performance stuff works, it's not just there for looks. Is the car a race car? No...it will be taken to the track just to see how it runs, but it's never going to be that fast.

The car is used to drive to work everyday, that's why there is a big stereo in there. She likes to listen to music. And apparently you have a problem with that. The cam gears, intake, pulleys, headers, exhaust are there because she thought the car was a little slow. The car is now a bit quicker and she's happy with it for now. Currently we're considering a JRSC or Greddy turbo because she wants more power all the time, not just when you hit the switch. But according to you, that's wrong because the car has a stereo.

Let me guess, you've got that sweet OBX intake with a gutted interior and stock wheels on the front for a better launch right?

We don't consider the car a show car because it's primary purpose is not to win shows. It is a means of transportation that also serves as advertisement for our business.

You act like there's something wrong with building a car with everything. So you can have performance but not looks or sound, or looks but not performance. Why can't you have it all?

The showcar excuse is just a crutch for those who can't build a car right. I get sick of people who justify the shoddy work on their cars with the answer "it's a showcar so it doesn't have to drive" or some lame excuse like that. That's why I keep saying this isn't really a show car. It's a daily driver that goes to shows. The car wasn't built to please judges or gain exposure, that's just a nice side effect. First and foremost, the car was built to make it's owner happy. And it does, so end of story.

Soon the word "showcar" is going to be used as an insult...lol

good night.
