Usually, but not always.

I heard that there were times, when people actually raced for pink
slips, that a sleeper or Q-ship was an advantage, insofar as no one
would want to race against a car that looked too hot.

I recall that Plymouth made the most innocuous looking family sedan
then dropped a hemi into it (somewhere around '67).  Won a lot of
street races.  Any customization was (for that car at least) normally
performance related only, IIRC.

cheers,
frank
