A girl is on a date with a hot guy in a flashy sports car

> とにかくザックは注目を集める。

> **車も目立てば、本人も目立つ** 。信号待ちで止まろうものなら道行く女性は皆振り返るし、中にはスマホのカメラを向ける人すらいる。

Why is も used twice here and not, for example, a は in the first part? Is this
a fixed pattern which requires も both times? What nuance would be different if
は were to be used?

XもVba YもV pattern
Yes, this is a fixed pattern that requires two も's. It's hard to explain
"why", but Japanese も can be used twice to list two similar things (e.g.,
国語も英語も得意です,
[泣いても笑っても](https://jisho.org/search/%E6%B3%A3%E3%81%84%E3%81%A6%E3%82%82%E7%AC%91%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6%E3%82%82)これで最後だ).

Simply, 車は目立てば本人も目立つ would make no sense to me.
