Function or Form?

Hey guys,

Well I've been spending needless amouint of money building a new engine for my car to make it faster. It already has ~430awhp, and everyone that rides in it thinks its fast enough and I should worry about looks

Which do you guys prefer function of form, and why?

Why not do both?

Volks have a function but look great.
Springs have a function and look great

I think thats all an Evo needs imo

Function: I'd spend it at the track, learning & perfecting on how to use all that power to its fullest potential.

A drop and wheels are all the Evo needs. Everything else goes to power!

POWER...that's it. It looks nice already. Plus it's funnier when they get beat that way.

Yeah I had the delema of either buying a new JDM rear or a 5-speed swap... i opted for the 5 speed. i want 600awhp reliably and then ill mod the outside.

agreed, and a bit cheaper on that note. The reason I decided on the trans was i have a completely built 2.3 sitting in my garage waiting for a 5 speed and a clutch... as soon as i have that, im good to go!
