Chargers look so good you don't need to prove anything by winning a race.

Both?
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Especially if they have access to the internet.

If I've got to choose one over the other, I'll always go with looks. Adding power later is almost always an option. With styling, it is what it is. Not that I haven't been tempted by a really fast, homely car every once in a while.

I think people who get Chargers dont nessesarly get it for just power. You'll get a CHarger for what it is, a beautiful vintage car.

If you want to win a speed contest, you'll get a modern car with better technology.

Looks.

Looks cost more than power
5 G's into a decent engine - tire shredding power :yesnod:

Looks.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

I'll say both, but I'd love to have the bodywork and paint done before the engine.

Both, you can paint the car and make it an icon and add all the power you want later!

i think that says it all...invest your current funds in looks and getting it running...later on beef it up...

unless u mean in just in general...then   :punkrocka:: POWER  :punkrocka:

Both power & looks are better kept in some kind of balance.  Both of those things can be totally overdone and take all the practicality & schedule out of the project.

Wow, the poll is at 50/50.

Both, of course, is the best.

I think looks first then power. Personally I'd rather have a beautifully restored 318 charger then a rusted out 440.

My car came with few paint cracks, but its shiny and people still  :o over it. Its a charger, it looks hot and mean as is.

Do you want a car thats going to be fun to drive or a car you can admire in the garage like a picture? :slap: - Get to the engine!  :slap:

I've never understood these "one or the other threads" or polls.  It's obvious that you need both.  Aw hell I voted power.  Only chicks or ricers drive pretty cars with no muscle to back it up...
