Trash talker put foot in mouth A guy i work with went and bought a new car, he got him a 96 acura integra with some motor straight from japan, and had a turbo kit put on it runnin 9lbs of boost. (just so you know every guy in the shop has flamed him for it, and i have given him the new nickname "turbo timer"). This guy would not leave me alone about runnin my car against his, talkin trash tell me how bad its gona kill my car.
I was done hearding it so we went out on the ol lunch break. he wanted to go from a roll proably so he could have boost built, anyway first we went from a 20 roll. 3rd honk i jumped about half a car on him, hit 2nd , it was over, pulled him down the road, not even a race, ran him up to 120 had about 6 cars on him. Course he claimed he missed a shift. We did it again from a 30 roll, same story, except i leaped about a full car on him from 30. we got back to work and was sayin it was runnin good the other day but its not runnin right today and he thinks he needs his computer tuned on some more. sore loser.

Good kill. A friend i worked with had a lightly modded 97 cobra. He always said he would drill me in my bonestock 01 Z28. Everyone at work was on the ford bandwagon as well. So we lined em up and i put about 2 cars on him from a dig in about an 1/8th. He now drives truck

The day a ricer says, "ok you got me fair and square," will be the day hell freezes over. Granted I have slightly more respect for this guy than the typical ricer, at least he's done something to his car. But he should know his place.

Crusing around with wings, ground effects etc, believing your fast because you have never run against a muscle car built for speed is a recepie for arrogance. A lot of these guys have a hard time facing up to the fact that despite how much money they may have spent, and how awesome their car may look, its a matter of numbers. Horsepower that is, and most performance V-8's have more. Anybody else have an idea??
Theres not to many7 cars out there that I don't respect for one reason or another. Talking about young kids reminds me of so many people here who think the only thign in a car that matters is the 1/4 mile time.

How true it is. That's the number one thing that Ricers seem to either forget or not understand. I guess it comes from having never felt the awsome effect of having lots of torque.
Once had an Acura try & school me just 'cuz I passed him. He had something under the hood 'cuz my victory was car lenghts & not bus lengths. I'd bet boosted Acura's are a lot of fun to drive. Just wish the Ricer mentality didn't come along with it.

Yes, most people here only care about 1/4 mile - straight line performance. Muscle cars arent exactly designed with nurburgring in mind. Many of us dont have a "road track" near us or would care if we did. (although with a little suspension work the f-body is no slouch) Alot of us race on the street, and if your racing in anything but a straight line then you are asking for trouble. (your already asking for enough trouble street racing period)
Come on dude, this is America.

Hay Cletus, lets you and me take our cawrs out old north highway and line 'em up side ba side and see which wuns faster.

I love when people bring in the "not just interested in straight line performance" story. A WS6 or SS equipped with the upgraded suspension parts is more than capable of holding its own on a road course. In fact its more than capable of beating alot of imports on the road.
Ricer does not equal import. I've seen alot of domestic cars I would consider to be a ricer.
