Personally I think people should buy cars for how they perform and how you feel when your driving them. No disrespect to anyone on this forum but we have all seen the posers who buy bright colored cars and then put the ugliest chrome wheels on them.....sure people stare, but maybe that's because the car is fugly. My point is that TRUE performance people will appreciate your car because it is a great car but if you bought it for the attention it is definitely the wrong car. I have owned a few 911 Turbos and the guy in the flashier car always get's more attention.....he is also the guy who got a good QUICK look at my cars arss end when he tried to race me 
And like Wyatt said it's Beverly Hills.

And the sad thing is that they think that you are staring at the car because the car looks good...NOT!!! True performance cars do not have chrome wheels. Chrome adds weight. I have witnessed as I am sure many on this thread have witnessed some incredibly horrible aftermarket wheels fitted to some nice "performance" cars. Personally I just laugh at those cars.
Even on Lambopower we have an ongoing thread called Hall of Shame Lambos, which is unfortunately like 15 pages long..
I will admit though, my 1998 Diablo SV had chrome wheels
but atleast they were factory and when i changed them i went black.

Nothing to do with that.. simply an observation as to peoples perception of an automobile..

Agreed!! But MY GTO would NEVER be valet parked. My performance cars are only taken out to be driven on select roads at certain times. If I had to valet park I would only take my truck. Personally I would rather park my truck myself and go in and enjoy dinner and not worry about someone touching my nice car.

Allan, its BH. 90 percent of the turbos, lambo's and ferrari's are driven by the wives of rich men (nothing wrong with that, just how it is) or the bling bling gangsta's in their drop top bentlys and lambos that are never driven above 3k rpm, its all for show. Especially with turbos since they are great DD's compared to ferrari and lambo. I guarantee they have no clue about the car they are driving at all, just status symbols. People ask me what my car is and have no idea when i say GT3. Its a beetle with a huge wing! lol

I'll be with my buddys in Boston and see a Turbo and look as it drives by, but my friends have no clue what it is. Especially in white, doesn't get much attention from people who don't know what it is.
