Why are there never shows, that show off the performance aspect of a car. Or the neatness of the work done. Thats something that i think more of us would b interested to contribute in. Or most unique setup. Stuff like that.
but i guess that will never happen, since people are too drawn too bling these days.

You make Zero sense. What is a car show going to be about if it is not about how a car looks. Do seriously expect a car that looks like hell but has a tight ass engine build to win a car show??
I can not vouch for the other winners that night, but Jeffs car (S2000) has it all.
-- turbo F20C motor making over 420 whp (before methanol injection and second tune)
--meticulous upkeep and high quality modifications and after market parts
I am sorry you have a problem with car shows but that is what they are SHOWS. You want notoarity for having a fast or performance oriented car, take it to the track and win whatever they give away. Most serious show cars whether at QSL or HIN or wherever are modded in the performance category as well as the extior, interior ICE etc etc.
Dont hate because someone has more money to spend on thier car than you. Showing your car is not an activity designed for everyone to be able to do. You either strive for what it takes to compete or you do something else.
Just like I dont expect a 80K dollar show car to rip it down a track or autoX event, I dont expect JohnnyX in his primered up, stripped interior, 1 seat integra pushing 500whp to take a trophy at a show.
Don't like shows?, do go to them.
Besides that, no matter how much I respect motors and the people that spend the time, energy and money on them to do them right, I have never seen a motor, no matter how nice it was, put a hot chick in the passenger seat - sorry
