After much thought, I have found out a way for a ricer to beat a muscle car. And I shall share my knowledge with everyone. A muscler only loses to a ricer when a rice boy dreams about flying pigs in hell during the winter time.:Smarty:
I have never in my life seen a ricer beat a muslce car. And i doubt i ever will:moonu: Lardo the pig Lewis 68 GS-California 350 65 Lark 350- soon to be 455 84 Bonneville used for winter and tanking garbage cans
There are LOTS of times a ricer can beat a muscle car! For example: A Civic is MUCH faster than ANY musclecar once pushed out of a flying aircraft. Car crushers can flatten them WAY easier. They TOTALLY rust faster. They create EXTREMELY better excuses. ...seeeee???? ricers are PHAT man...
Looks like you guys live a sheltered life...there's a few 10-second single turbo Supras around here that routinely do it. I run 'em on the street since they don't hook as well as my "other" car but it's even rough for me since they trap at 130+
I agree Artie, but anyone into fast cars will give respect to the newer Supras. Rice is an attitude, of the naive variety (talk big carry a small stick).
I'll give ricers one thing they can handel way better than my straight line car so they take me in the S turns but the second it hits straight away i own them i mean i could install a performance suspension but whats the point my cars too darn heavy to handle at higher speeds although my car loves to drift around corners and i tell ya nothin feel better than floorin it around a corner feelin the tail slip out and the second it grabs traction it almost throws you in the back seat and leave nothin but a cloud of smoke in your wake b.t.w i saw a 4000h.p. 4 banger on hp tv ( i really wish ppl wouldnt encourage them ricers)
4000 as in four thousand its a cast aluminum block no water jackets completely air cooled four of the biggest bores and pistons ive ever seen nitro methane car with a streached acura integra body id give more specs but its been awhile since ive seen that hptv episode and it runs 6sec in 1/4 the funny thing is the engine costs the same as about 2 brand new integras gives those damn dirty lil ricers somthin to shoot for of course it still cant touch the 3-4sec 8 cly nitro-methane
Vans fly Wait till you tangle with a 12sec turbo mini van! I haven't seen one personally, but they are out there. uzzled: Clint
i saw an eagle talon tsi lay the smack down on a 01 camaro ss, and my buddies 81 el'camino with a ls6 454! i am not one for the rice but there are some out there that would blow your mind.... as well one car at race city got my attention, it was a old k- car that looked like it came staight out of the wrekers. and she ran 14.5 at 3500' and no traction through 1st gear!
Let's face It...I Suck.....I got beat by a ricer in my GTO. A friend of mine (since H.S.) belongs to this subaru wrx club. Ironically he also owns a 1967 Firebird that is scary fast for a street car. Anyway he calls me up to tell me his subaru club is going to Westhampton (this is back before the snows in early november 2003) drag strip and if i would like to come. The goat at this point hadn't run in about a month, but I started it up, set the timing, threw a spare in the trunk and drove to the track. Ran my first pass in the car and it was 15 flat. pull back in the pit area and recheck the timing and found the distributor to have walked out 14 degrees from the 45 minute drive to the track (whats a trailer). Reset the timing and get out there, and i am running about 14.5 on my street bias plys (which sucks still because I ran 13 flat the previous year in the exact same setup). My friend (who invited me) has a brother with a civic and eventually he starts talking smack about how he has cams and nitrous and his 14 seconds is really good. Of course i say something like 14 seconds is slow and before i know it he and I are staging heads up (it was a test and tune day so they let us run side by side). Anyway, light drops i get on it and the Goat lets loose a carb backfire that makes my hood jump and takes off on its way to a 14.3 run. The civic runs 14.1 (best time all day). I get back to the pits and pull the air cleaner and i find that the secondary butterflies have been wedged past the stops and would not open. I ran the whole day on basically a 2 barrel carb that probably has more varnish in it than i can imagine (fuel stabilizer...what's that?). The whole rest of the day anytime i would run against a ricer, whether they ran faster or slower they would throw on their hazards after the finish line (in street racing this is how the people at the finish line know who won). After a buddy of mine got into it with a kid in a nissan about this practice I decided to call it a day. Ricers are ruining this sport. I will say this though the subaru guys were real cool to me all day, let me use tools when i needed it, helped out when needed, they rocked, and their cars were fast. The conducted themselves like pros the who day, and it was one of the subaru guys who stuck up for me to that nissan owner. The rest of the imports there were all full of crap.
funny...the subaru guys brought a couple of tool boxes and they had standard and metric tools, albeit not a lot of standard tools but they had what i needed. I've never seen import guys so prepared at the strip. There were about 20 or so guys from the subaru club (five tool boxes between them, but they didn't need much to wrench). Most of their cars were in the low 13's with a couple in the high to mid 12, and a couple of them in the 14's. Given that the car is all wheel drive, i don't mind them as far as imports go, and they have some low 60 ft times.
Yeah it's funny, most of the ricers that are actually fast (13's or quicker) aren't as much jerks as the slower guys, but that's not always true either. The few ricers I came across that were cool and knew something about cars, one drove a turbo Miata that ran 12's, another a turbo 240SX that ran 13 flat. Some of the other ricers were nice guys, they just didn't know much about cars. By my first run or by the end of the night most of these types were converted and worshipped my car and/or thought it was the coolest thing they had ever seen. A lot of these guys just need some guidance in the right direction to convert because they come up knowing nothing about cars except from TV/movies like Fast and Furious, and from fellow friends (who drive ricers). I have personally converted at least 4 of my best friends from junk to better. One friend I helped went from a Nissan Sentra to a 02 Mustang, another from 02 Mustang to 65 Skylark, and another from T-bird to Buick (62 LeSabre) although the latter friend is still a Ford man...I just influenced him to like Buicks a lot too. Can't wait to take my 69 Sport Wagon to the track this year and show the ricers and everyone else what's up. Finally switching from stock pegleg to 3.42 posi...it's gonna be awesome! -Andy 1969 Sport Wagon 455 (14.00@99) 1993 Nissan 180SX (dynoed 185 rwhp on stock engine) 1972 Datsun 1200 (sub 16 seconds)
