I guess my take on this is all of the above , First priority for me is performance Period , but this in no way has to limit drivability /milage & ability to cruise with the car & show it as well , , generally I will never tow with a Muscle car , that is what trucks are designed to do

Show, Go, Whatever & use it as much as possible after work, all year round.
That's why they call it a car, no fun in the garage..
Now with gas heading towards five bucks a gallon , may need to put a slant six in it..

Mine's a cruiser that occasionally gets to shows too, just to park it there and look at the other cars. It's nowhere near show-quality, but neither are most of the other cars at the local shows, so it fits right in. Also try to use it as a daily driver as much as possible during the summer, unless I have to go downtown, where free parkingspaces are far between, and usually not large enough.

Some performance wouldn't be to scoff at either, and I'm slooowly moving in that direction.

Mine is by no means a show car, but I don't drive it daily.  I get the car out a few times a month.  I don't think I could handle the stress of a show car.  Even though my paintjob has a little orangepeel in it, I still get nervous that something will happen to it.  That said, I LOVE to drive it.   :burnout:

I'm building mine to drive, but there's no way I'd use it as a daily driver with gas at $4.50/gallon.  And it won't be a show car, though I'll probably drive it to an occasional cruise night.

The T/A is now pretty much for shows. The Road Runner, we drive a lot and do small shows and cruise ins. When the Duster is road ready it will be used as the RR is.
