I prefer Mustangs. They taste like chicken where rice is always a bit plain. 03 Cobras tend to go down real smooth with a 150 shot of n20. With a 175 shot they not only go down smooth but come out quicker than taco bell. GULP!

I like making the ricers look stupid,(basically because they are) theyre usually the ones that pull up beside me in there rice cans w/ there heads leanin out the window w/ the little girl beside him,(Im still puzzled about the giant Fin in the REAR when its FWD) so he starts to Rev up the fart can exhaust and basically looking like an idiot...then the lights turn green and youll hear that little chirp from the FRONT tires, I usually sit and wait to hear that sound cause its so pathetic, then Ill stomp it and its usually over pretty fast...around 2nd gear..maybe 3rd if im takin it easy on mine...lol..but for a good Highspeed race I prefer smokin stangs...back to the ricers tho..another question? Why do about 60% of ricers have cars that are 3 or 4 different colors? and the Kit is usually always white from the factory, cant they wait to get it painted before putting it on the can? if you can't afford to paint it before installing it, leave it in the garage untill you can..but thats just my thoughts..lata

Ricers. It's amusing to me watching their faces, most of them are actually shocked???

As if they had no idea that their cars are SLOW

I've only had one experience with a Mustang, that one was funny!

All the other pony owners that I've encountered don't bother.

I love smoking ricers. I beat up on a turbo/intercooled Honda Prelude( obviously some $$$ went into it) with my '97 Z28 when it was BONE STOCK. Now, that is sad, his turbo was spooling, wastegate dumping like crazy just to get pulled by a stock Z. I really love beating them in my daily driver, a 92 white caprice with 305 TBI, flowmasters w/ no cats, hypertech chip, complete ignition(coil, MSD box, wires, accell plugs) and CHEAP WHITEWALL TIRES AND STOCK WHEELCOVERS. The look of getting beat by pawpaw looking old man's car is priceless. I'm sure they tell their girls," oh, it was a cop car with NAWZ(NOS)".

My vote is on the stang. Its cool to kill ricers over and over, but at least people on the strip have fasst stangs, but I have yet to see a truely fast ricer.

You've got that right steven. They can attempt to increase HP all they want, they can't build TORQUE with a damn 4 cylinder. No replacement for displacement. I just got killed on the track by a hatchback stang that only had the holley systemax heads, cam, intake and headers running damn 12.5's straight motor. ARGGHHHH!

Rice is real funny when they shift through 3rd and im in 1st still not hitting it then i take real long to go into 2nd and then catch up to them then leave em. but its really really funny when you let the get the jump and you time it just right so that when you pass them ur about to go to 2nd and then you bark it right there by their head and leave them!!!Priceless look on riceboys face! then they are like "but import tuner said with intake and muffler i should have a Z!! I even got type R!! oh noo what went wrong!"
Mustangs are funny too man. little punks, they talk soo much junk then get beat. then certain ones want to say the 03 cobra will beat you that when you have to bring up the z06. its cool when you line up with rice and a stang, then beat them both!!

Yeah!!Another kill for my big '92 caprice, Just smoked a nissan sentra "R" with my stock 92 caprice w/ 305 TBI and a few bolt on's like impala ss duals with flowmasters, no cats and a hypertech thermomaster chip. What a joke for my paw-paw car to beat what's supposed to be "RICE PERFORMANCE". There's is made for "hauling ass" and my caprice was made for "hauling blue haired old people". lol

"Im still puzzled about the giant Fin in the REAR when its FWD) "

Its because a WING is not for the DRIVE WHEELS, its for the REAR WHEELS period. A wing is to create downforce on the rear of a car at high speeds, where the air flow under the car begins to "upforce" (for a lack of a better word) on the rear of the car. This "upforce" causes less weight on the rear tires, whether they are the drive wheels or not. Less weight on the rear tires due to this uplift will cause the car to lose some stability and make the rear end slide out easier.

The problem with a park bench on any street car, especially a little SOHC civic with only a fart can, is that the thing couldn't go fast enough even down hill to build any downforce for the wing to be functionaly.


"with my stock 92 caprice w/ 305 TBI and a few bolt on's like impala ss duals with flowmasters, no cats and a hypertech thermomaster chip. "

How is it stock if it has all those mods?
