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.
Far too extreme.

She isn't super hot, either. Well, she probably thinks she's super hot!

These are about the closest I can come up with to Option 1 vs. Option 2

190-hp 1950-lb Mosler Consulier GTP


vs.

57-hp 1500-lb Honda S600


I pick option 2

I don't find her the least bit attractive, that's why I was puzzled.

in the case of extremes, I'll take style. Designs can be timeless. Performance? Something will always out-perform it sooner or later

I agree with you, but that doesn't fit within the rules of the thread. He didn't ask, "Would you rather have a fast car that looks good or a really fast car that looks ugly?"

I have thought about this a while and it seems to me the Rules of this thread is like the 55 mph speed limit - Must be ignored and broken often. I believe that the idea here is sound but the rules from option 1 to option 2 is a little extreme. Option 1 had to have been the Corvette in his thinking!
But to see where I am going with this I think we have to take Style vs. Performance on a case by case basis .
For example Miura vs. Gallardo . Do you pick the ageless car that still looks completely wickedly modern and a design icon of its time or the better up to date performance of the Gallardo?? My answer - Let me try both for a couple months and I will get back to you on that one.
Next - 240Z vs 370Z . On this case I would go for style because the 240 looked like it belongs in the E Type Jag and Ferrari Daytona mold of design
The 370Z hurts my eyes so bad I don't dig it at all even if it was GTR fast.
Last - 993 vs. 997 . In this case I would take the 997 performance over the greater style of the 993. The 993 was the greatest looking 911 ever but the 997 ain't to far behind.
