I would take stock body sleeper s2k with clean turbo set up over a beautifully aesthetically modified widebody s2k but stock under the hood any day of the week.

Performance is all its about, unless you're ugly enough to need a sexy car to get the ladies for you. How can you even drive a ridiculously slow car for even an hour?

isn't option 1 just Wile Coyote with a rocket booster on his back?

besides, option 2 can be modded to be fast (or fast enough).

you can't fix ugly

so definitely option 2

Well, since i'm driving the car option 1 i could feel all the time. It'd put a smile on my face when i drive it and i'd be able to benefit from it a lot.
Option 2 is nice, but when you're driving the car, you're not standing outside looking at it.

I'd rather have my car put a smile on my face, not other ppls.

Looking good and not being able to back it up is one of the worst things you can do to a car, IMO.

Basically, option B is any of the old Fieros modified to look like a Lamborghini.

I'll take ugly performance thank you very much.

What is your opinion on the matter though?
Oh, I'd take ugly and fast for sure... or in my case, girly looking and fast.

<<< drives a boosted Miata.

The choices are so extreme. It's like asking who would you screw

1. Fat ugly chick that gave the worlds best bj's and was otherwise a phenomonal lay

2. Super hot chick that couldn't even kiss, didn't believe in oral, talked on her cell phone lying like a dead fish while you pumped away missionary style.
