Red face Ricers

Was out with the Misses last night getting some food at the Crazy Chicken when soem kid walks in and starts running his mouth about how the evo in the parking lot was a piece.

He swore up and down about how ricer my car was with the Carbon trunk (needed to take off the damn wing) and cheap looking rims (real advan rg2 17x9 $590/ea) he swore up and down how his Saleen Focus would walk it form a dig and a rool becasue he has a 100 shot in it now.

anyways after a while i hear him say we should find the *** who owns the evo so i can show him what american power and engineering can do.

i look over and offer to run him right then and there for 500 bucks. He declines and says he would hate to make me look bad with my girl there.
she says it's ok that she doesnt mind it's my money.

after about 2 minutes of trying to get a race out of him he finally just says "naw i'm too hungry now, i hate running on empty"

Funny how if ricers don't see stickers our huge exhaust tips the can't fathom it being fast

(FYI i just broke 410whp and 425tq on 26lb of boost 91 octane and 100% meth injection)

my rental ford focus barely beat a fart piping neon on a business trip. And your Dood had nawz you know you were skeered. i can't believe someone would use a ford focus as an example of how great american engineering is...

This is funny, the guy with the mitsu is calling the guy with the ford a ricer . Sorry had to point that out, it sucks when economy car owners think their cars are fast and they run their mouths, I don't know how many evo's could actually be called rice though to me they are just a variation of a car meant for performance.

I'm not exactly sure how you would consider my car rice. It's along the same line of calling a Supra, NSX, or skyline Rice. It's a true performance car, granted it has 4 doors but so does the Farrari 465.

If my car was body kited, covered in stickers, with a huge wing out back (other than stock) yeah i would agree but it's not.

I can always point out that your just driving a GM, Not a true sports car iin the eyes of a European......

I hate when people talk **** and back down. Also, I agree what the hell is the guy with the saleen focus thinking? That thing is a turd, they did a performance test on the saleen N20 focus, srt-4, rsx type-s, and ss cobalt, and the N20 focus the **** on non-stop, gave it the worst score by far. Even with the 100 shot he would be lucky to be making 220-240 whp...I also really like hanging with my evo, srt-4, and sti buddies. They have very clean cars and I will be hanging with them and domestic guys will come by all the time and talk to me and be like "why are you hanging with those ricers" and Ill just say "because they are faster than any of you guys". Most of the time its retards in stock 99-04 mustang gt's or beat up f-bodies and they will look at me like I have 8 heads and when my buddies call them out to race they just do lame *** burnouts and run off. FYI the srt-4s i hang with are modded (50 trim turbo, turboback, wga, ecu flash, etc) and the 3 evos are cammed with turbo backs, wga, ecu flash, running race gas, etc. Its usually the clean cars without all the stickers that you need to watch out for as they are usually the ones that will wipe the floor with you. Too bad you didnt get to race him, even for fun, to show him what a POS his saleen focus is.

Ricer has nothing to do with car make/model if you ask most people, but rather a state of mind. The people who think their car (wherever it was made) is faster than anything just because they bought that 5" resonating tip and windshield washer nozzle LEDs and let's not forget the 2 foot tall aluminum spoiler

Most ricers around here are in Cavaliers and Neons, ironically.

This older guy I know always talked about his focus was kicking *** all around town. So I met up with him it was quick no doubt, however he has a 04 Cobra motor in it. Claimed it came that way???? What ever but it moved

how the hell did he fit a Mod motor in a Focus, Even if he did make it RWD with a solid axel i don't think i would clear the fender wells much less the hood.

Yeah and I've never heard of 465 ... I think he meant 456 and that's not a four door. There have been four seat Ferraris though. If someone has more knowledge on this correct me but I don't think there has yet to be a four door Ferrari. Although they may make one similar to the Quattroporte out of the 612 Scaglietti.

Huge Diffrance between a 5.0 and a DOHC MOD motor.

I don't think the New mod motor would ever fit between the fenders/frame rails.

Juiced, I was about to say I stand corrected, however I need to know something. There is a prince or a king of some middle eastern country that has custom Ferraris built only for him. He has at least a dozen one off Ferraris. So is this '465m' a production car, or a one off?
