What would you guys choose if you had the choice between making your car faster than anything in your area, or making it the best looking car in your area?

wasn't sure if this is general disscussion or off topic and sorry if this is a repost.

He pretty much has a 90% GT4 replica except for the AWD part. 


thats a pretty major part lol! does he have the superstrut suspension and the figure 8 linkages? it would be interesting to find info about a swap on those

I have those parts, but didn't swap them. I was told by Richard Doig in New Zealand, that the Super Strut suspension tends to have problems. Hence, which is why they went back to the original McPherson strut setup. Because of this, I decided not to go with the SS suspension.

Here's a quote of what he told me:

QUOTE
The Superstrut suspension isn't actually that good,  too many balljoints to wear out.  Stick with your McPherson strut and just buy a big brake kit...

The factory rally cars used Superstrut at first but had so many problems they went back to Mcpherson.


Even though the AWD tranny is what makes a GT-FOUR, I still don't (and never will) consider my car a GT-FOUR. However, to me, it's my GT-FOUR Hybrid... because it's one of the closest that you'll get (so far here in the states... until Qatar finishes his, and a couple completes the registration of their ST205's). IF I do convert to AWD... it's not gonna be for a while... Either way... my FF setup may not get the "off-the-line jump", but it is still freakin fast and won't drag in the top end like the AWD setup.
