87 formula
look over at them and laugh give them at least a 2 sec jump on you and slam on the gas and then kill them on their 1/8 mile track
charles
I throw popcorn in front of them, so the squirrels under the hood will have something to eat. Most Ricers don't know anything about the proper care and feeding of their cars. laugh.gif
chuckz
That's good laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif blink.gif huh.gif laughed so hard it hurt.

I find if you want to beat a ricer without wasting gas all you have to do is cut the wires on thier sound system. No boom, no zoom.

dont forget that the more stickers you have the faster the car goes.
WS6Freak
To beat a ricer all you have to do is step on the gas in Neutral. The exhaust "wind" will be enough power to jump ahead of them.
LS1Beast
I donno guys they put there subs facing the back of the car so when it hits the force from the BOOM pushes them. I know this for a FACT cause i was told by a ricer kid at school.

My favorite was they are not amps for the system, they are turbo enhancers.

So that must mean that if a ricer gets front ended....it leaks hazelnut puree. tongue.gif

newage ricer: 2004 mustang v6 (at least i think it was a v6, judging by exhaust note alone) with exhaust, GFX kit, pearlescent paint and neon lights trying to race my formy...must have missed the "FORMULA" badging and thought it was a fellow 6. I smeared him all over the road in passing gear, didn't even bother to turn off trac. or burden the engine by taking the RPMs over 4000 wink.gif
sickchicken
we get mustangs in at work like that all the time "i wanna make the 05 v6 my daddy bought me look like a gt'' but they want body kits installed and all this other stupid crap. domestic rice i soo much worse than the real thing...
caldramaguy
bleck... domestic rice.. it makes more sense to me to take that money they'd use on GFX and make their cars as fast as the mustang GT... or close. 90hp shouldnt be toooooo hard. Besides, those 05 V-6's will never look good... the GTs look alright.
scrmnws6
Dont know if this reply was on here allready or not, but if you put more stickers on your car than they have, they wont want to race you. Intimidation works like a charm again, this time on the streets.
caldramaguy
Stickrs are alright if ya wanna do that to your car... but i prefer to itimidate them by showing them that my stock-looking exhaust is louder with a cut-out than all their stickers combined... it really peeves them when my cut-out drowns out their "fart can" (somebody on here dubbed that term, thanks again!)... I scared an STI so badly once he stalled his car looking at mine when i revved it to the red-line!! tongue.gif

You know you are a ricer if...

-DuPont gave up trying to figure out the shade you were asking for
-You have more stereo WATTS than engine TORQUE!
-If the 1970 Plymouth Daytona Superbird has a smaller spoiler than your car does
-If you equate the sound of performance with the sound of a Weed Eater
-If you think colored head lights work better
-Flying past the person who is 10 car lengths in front of you after they have put on their brakes.. and claim a victory
- You think "displacement" is something that happens to homeless people
- You lose 2 mpg by installing a body kit
- You continuously run red lights because they are invisible thru your red window tint
- You rev on school busses
- Hell, you rev on people in electric wheelchairs
- YOU REALIZE THAT ALL OF THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND YOU STILL THINK YOU'RE COOL!!!

ya...i was sitting at a red light 1 time in my 91 formula ws6 which has the l98 engine so its not even that fast to begin with...and a ricer came up next to me and started revving his zip zap so when the light turned green i put my key in the ignition....cranked her up...put her in neutral...and farted....by the time he was in 3rd gear i had passed him.....the backdraft of my fart had more power than his ching chang chiong engine....

Rice is for fags
I have never really raced any ricers, atleast not for ten years or so. Now its to the point where if I am driving down the road and I see a ricer, I pull up next to them and stay at the same speed as them and they tend to let off the gas as if they dont even want to think about racing. My exhaust is louder at idle than their weed eater engines with the tach pushed into the red so I think that intimidates them a little unsure.gif I think here in SW florida, the ricers are starting to smarten up a bit and have realized that they cant compete with a V8. I did however race a honda one night in my mini van, it was a typical rice mungler that had the picnic table spoiler, coffe can muffler, monster tach with a shift ligh and a bunch of horespower enhancment stickers all over it. Funny thing is, my mini van won with the a/c on and I had a bunch of stuff in the back. My ol lady was with me and she was laghing hers but off.

I cant understand why these morons think rice burners are fast. What ever happened to the good old days where all a kid could ever ask for muscle car and a full tank of gas?????

And why do they all have to put those stupid loud mufflers on their cars? Do they think that actually sound good?????????????????????? Dont they realize by freeing up all that back pressure they are lossing tons of torque??? Oh wait......do riceburners have any torque... I think they have such a small amount of torque that it nedds to be mesured in inch lbs instead of foot lbs laugh.gif
johnniereb
some rice have torque. but most rice tends to be hondas. and hondas are comparable to an electric drill. lightweight...NO POWER. and you guys are lucky. the only two ricers to run their mouths to me backed out when I said I'd race. A pathetic integra and a turbo civic
MasterTomos
Theres almost no rice cars that are as affordable and as fast as our cars. ESPECIALLY stock.
Freshbake
haha old thread! But this sure gave me a laugh re-reading it redlol.gif

haha yeah. i got bored and found this. the first posts are about 5 or 6 years old. still holds true

The first thing Ricers always say: "my car gets better gas mileage". And the answer: "the better the gas mileage, the less the hp". Enough said on that subject.

Bought a 2006 Honda Civic, brand new in (ta da!) 2006. Drove it home and thought "you've got to be kidding me, what a joke!" and the first thing I said to myself..."well, it does get better gas mileage". laugh.gif

Hey, you're right, almost did take it back...in fact, if my wife hadn't been transferred to Japan, was in the process of suing Honda. The stupid suspension was so screwed up that the car wouldn't even track straight on a crooked road much less a straight one. Actually lost control of it on a curve coming off the hwy that the Firebird generally took at around 50 mph. Was going about 25 mph in the Civic at the time. That car was awful. Took about $500 to get the suspension fixed and Honda wouldn't do it (it was much more than an alignment). Long story about this, but later on, Honda issued two bulletins about how to fix the suspension problems, but did it without admitting they had a problem (every Civic made in 2006 and lots of the 2007s had the problems). I could have kicked their butts in court.

I still don't like Ricers! Stupid little, ricer thangamajigs, with itty bitty tiny little tinny engines and stupid rubber band size tires, but it does get good gas mileage. cool.gif
The Fallen
Sure, ricers get great gas mileage for a 4 cylinder at 10000 rpm.

But our fbody at 1500-2000 rpm will smoke the ###### out of theirs.

Hold their rpm range equal to ours and they will be lucky to get out f the gate.

My fbody was, for a good bit there, able to cruise at 95 mph at just under 2000 rpm.

My coworkers bro with his 240 was hitting 7000 - 8000 doing the same.
Blu2000
Ya ricer motors have about as much torque as a Singer sewing machine, I'm talking a 1910 treadle(foot operated) model like my wife has! Goes to show ricers are for sissy's. There's NO replacement for displacement. mullet.gif burnout.gif gears.gif

My answer to this would be you may get better gas milage but i will have time to stop and fill up and still beat you across the line!! This was a funny post even considering how old it is!!

I wish i had a picture of one of my friends old Camaros on the back glass he had "Save your lungs, Smoke an Import" I seen more ricers get pissed off over that than anything else!!

I was crusin one night in my 94 camaro not long befor i traded it for my T/A with a buddy in a 90 Mustang GT and he raced this SRT 4 NEON, got beat cause of Nitrous by 2 car leangths i beat this mustang by 3 so i was happy to race this neon!! My buddy tells him to race me next he slows down and pulls beside of me and asked what motor i had in it!! I told him LT1 in return i get told to F-off he dont want any of it and pulls a u-turn and goes the other way!!

I just dont get it, if it sounds like a lawn mower, has the colors of a lawn mower, and the engin of a lawn mower, then dangit leave it in the lawn mower and get some american muslce!!

My brother has a Lotus (the V8), and he had a ricer fly by him, then visciously cut in front almost taking off his right front fender. That forced him into the oncoming lane to avoid being hit--no oncoming traffic at the time. Ricers are cowards, not to mention stupid. Just look at those funny, teeny, twin cam, sewing machine thingamajig things they have for engines, and the go-fast stickers. Anybody that would do that to any car shows their level of understanding about what makes a car run.

Just had front struts installed on my Civic. The shop that did the work was ricer heaven. They were bragging about their 10 second Civic (??????). After their bragging, told them about my 12.5 second Firebird that was driven daily--they didn't seem to understand. Looked at their 10 second piece of crap Civic and asked them where the roll bar and cage was--was it a bolt on? Or, is that "bolt in". Maybe they removed it to go to the grocery store on work days? They had no answer for that one. They were all brag, no facts. Who were they trying to impress? Me??? I have a Civic.

Ya gotta think about that one...2,500 lb car doing a 10 second 1/4 mile. Said they had 700 hp in the engine. Looked at the engine, it was the standard block, maybe 2.0 liters or less--I think those earlier Civics had 1.5 liters and around 120 hp. There is no way that an engine designed around that block can put out a reliable 700 HP....and, then tell me that the transmission can hold it. I don't believe it. All brag, no facts!

I like my Civic and it's a nice reliable car (boring as #####), but its a stupid Civic for crying out loud (it gets great gas mileage LOL)--it is not a thumping, big bore V8. Do those ricer idiots have any idea how brutally fast and reliable a Firebird can be when $10,000 is spent on the engine? Doubt it!! I despise ricers--they give Civic drivers a bad name.
