What comes first, show or go??

[Cookie28]

Hey guys thought that this might be a bit of fun to see what people do to their cars first, show or go

also if you guys o vote in the poll if you could leave what model/year your car is because i think it would be interesting to see the spread

thanks guys

Edit: if you guys can think of anything else i should add to the poll just let me know in here or by PM

For me it was go.
I have purchased flashy add on bits (lights, grill etc) but that was mainly to set it apart from all the others.

[brimway]

Go, but its gotta look good aswell. Guess my sig says just that

[Bora Sport]

Go without a doubt, so long as you add an equivalent amount of stop!

[GoLfMan]

I like to do handling first. So that suspension and wheels, I guess thats go and show

[Water Boy]

Steering
Brakes
Suspension
Wheels n tyres

[balkanac]

def go for both cars

[fred27]

Go
first got good tyres, suspension, brakes, exhaust, cam
then did the Hella duals and smoked lighting

I hate black and white survey questions.



Perhaps you could ask if go and show are equal?

If someone has for example $10k to modify a stock car, results of your survey to date would suggest that all $10k is spent on go, whereas a lot of people may include some of that budget on wheels (which is 90% show) and lowering (which is ~50% show)

If you bought a VW why are you worried about GO?

In my opinion, handling and show over go. I wouldn't worry about go because your never going to be very fast anyway.

This is me too.

Go.

Its a pain to keep your car at a show standard if its your daily

[dylan8]

show (but not mint clean because thats impossible) if i had a fast car I bet I would have lost my license or killed myself/someone by now.
might look for something a with a bit of go over the next few years now i feel like I have learnt a lot more about the road/other drivers, but itll always be about the look for me

[Gusman]

I think it depends on what you've got car-wise and what you think it needs more of. For me with my 77TSI with sports pack, it looks ok standard but needs a bit more go, so that's where the money's heading first. But at the end of the day, I want both right now dammit

[Buller_Scott]

i voted go.

that being said, i've come on a long journey since VW ownership. from now on, first mods arent going to be remapping/ intake etc, but rather:
- suspension (gotta have balance via heigh adjustment)
- tyres (gotta have grip, no point in wasting whatever torque there is)
- brakes

i'll always appreciate a nice, low, good looking car - but for my own purposes, i love flying under the radar in a car that no one notices at all.
