Looks. Never understood why people want to drive a shit box just because its fast. I could live with a slightly slower car if it looked good.

Do what i did and go for handling first mate. Its not the quickest car in the world but i beat much more powerful cars simply because i dont have to brake for corners 
Must have a good set up on it then? Not just lowering springs with original dampers like most.

You mean like a 1.6 Corsa with full exhaust and Lexmaul, but rough as a badgers arse paintwork and a cable-tied on front bumper and wheelarch?
