    SkylarkSteve Hello Michael

    Test your knowledge and find out whether your a racer or ricer, seems to be designed more for the import crowd but its still fun.

    My results:
    Gran Turismorator
    You scored -22%

    You are a respectable tuner. You probably subscribe to one or more tuner magazines and know, quite a bit about your car and/or racing in general. Either that or you play a s**tload of GT3. At any rate, you recognize the difference between a wastegate and a blow-off valve. In time, and with practice, you may attain "Racer X" status since it is supposed that you are relatively new to tuning and still have much to learn. Keep, working, and thank the maker that you're not a ricer.

    I'm pretty sure it is VVL


    my score:
    It doesn't tell you which ones you got wrong. What do the percentages mean? Did I get 18% wrong?

    I did subscribe to Sport Compact Car for one year and my daily driver is a Nissan Altima 3.5L with 5spd...... and yet?

    "Of the users who took the test and are male and in your age group, 0% scored lower than you."

    Racer X
    You scored -26%


    Congratulations. You are the real thing. Chances are you could tear down your engine and put it back together in a weekend. You know a decent amount about racing dynamics. The "FATHF" culture has been a bane to your existence since you've been in the game for years before that horrid movie was released. Auto-x, drag racing, track time, you know enough to not sound like an ass while talking about it, and you can probably hold your own on the track too. Race on, good citizen, for you are a true Racer.


    IM SO KEWL vrooom PSSST (blow off valve)

    7%??

    The Non-Racer
    You scored -7%


    One of two things happened if you received this rating. Either you know absolutely nothing about tuner culture and chose "no idea" often. In this case, i guess i could say congratulations, but really you wasted your time taking this test...actually this test is a waste of time for everyone. The second option is a little rarer. You must be someone that knows a lot about either mechanics or racing, but jack about the other subject....or you're just guessing. Either way, congratulations....you're mediocre...but still not a ricer, for which you should be thankful


    :Do No:

    My score ended up 9% :Do No:

    I tell you the kids nowadays building these ricers aren't putting their priorities right.

    I'll stay with the Buicks I own!!! :TU:

    Thank God I love my Buicks!!!!

    Gran Turismorator
    You scored -22%

    I was a bit worried about what my score would be - some of these ricer questions are just common sense, and in my undergrad I became quite good at faking my way through multiple-choice tests.

    Oh, and I like monkeys.

    -23% :Do No: It's a true ricer test... the numbers are meaningless BS.

    Hmmmm... they probably assume that the largest size is correct. (sigh) you can explain it and explain it but they still think an exhaust tip does something.
