Looks, or power?

It's your money and your car, and more importantly, your happiness

Not sure we can answer that question for you.

You should probably ask yourself whats more important - looks or power

If you arent sure, before you spend money, here's a simple test

Go to a car show
Go to a race track

What makes you happy?

LMAO, this is the shortest well stated post you have done in some time! I agree whole heartedly!

And as us track car guys like to say "a track car is a show car!"

Unfortunately, the closest thing (within like 100 miles) to a track where I currently live is a dragstrip. While I do find this enjoyable, I certainly would get bored rather quick just going in a straight line for 13+ seconds at a time. I recently joined a club though, that has meetings and shows fairly regularly in locations really close. I enjoy showing this car off, and I love when people have positive comments and compliments on it. I do daily drive my car so I wouldn't want to go overboard with power. I was thinking about wrapping the car and I was priced at 1800 for any design/combination of designs, as the price is for the amount of material and it would cover the entire car. That's why I have had a touch time deciding, is because I want to show off the car, but I also want to have a grand time driving it.

Or, just buy a 911 and be done with it.

It sounds like you might as well do both! Nothing wrong with spending money on both looks and power.

Personally I am planning on alternating between the two, since I'm in the same boat as you. Starting with a CBE, then hopefully getting a NISMO conversion kit. I don't think it's ever been done before.

I will say this though, I'll always appreciate someone who focuses solely on power rather than just on looks, such as sleeper cars. Here in the UK, all we seem to get are little VW Polos which are cambered out so much that they're scraping the floor. To each there own, but I just don't see the appeal...

For me the Z looks great right out of the box. I've spent a decent amount of cash on upgrades to the engine and exhaust, but I haven't even considered spending a dime on the looks because it already looks great to me.
