You've got to hate American rice...

I've got my own story of beating rice. First, let me tell you about my car. It's completely stock with a mild cam. It's a 350 with a 2-barrel carb. It has a spark knock, the timings off and at the time the rocker arms were chattering like crazy due to scored & damaged rocker arm shafts and the car idled like crap. It also needs valve guide seals so it smokes a little. I'm working on getting it running good again. Don't think I don't car about the car and drive it like that on purpose! I'm a college kid with no money! Anyway, I'm on my way back to college after a weekend at home going through Griffin, Georgia when this brand new Chevy Cavalier comes pulling up to me. It's a Z34 or Z24, whatever is the "high-performance" package for the Cavalier and its got Altezza lights, fart can exhaust and the stupid looking wheels. Anyway, 3 guys are in it and they start revving it up next to me at the stop light! I'm like okay so I rev mine up, smoke and all!! The light goes green, my Buick barks the tires and I'm past the guy. The next light suddenly turns red so we're both on the brakes hard. The light turns green and again I blow his doors off. I slow down so he gets up next to me and I floor it again. I was laughing my ass off!! I let him pass me because I didn't want to do more than 75 with the motor clicking like it was. I just can't wait to get this motor running good again so I can really show these ricers who's boss! American rice is just wrong. Why disgrace an American car to try to make it more "ricer-like?" It's beyond me.

 

Yeah, them ricers think they have hot-S***, when all they have is something slow-and practically useless. I have a little 231 V6 and it literally smokes the hell out of ricers. Especially the stupid sonoma and S-10 ricers. American trucks that have been ruined, and that's exactly what the newer s-10's and sonoma's are. People ruin them. I know that my engine is not in perfect condition, but it can really grab the pavement when you pull it to upper limits. Ricers, will they ever learn? What part of "ricers don't race, they rice" do they not get?

Heeey, I drive american rice, ever heard of "eagle", american branded mitsubishi's, lol.

 

MR. BUICK- About the Sonoma-have you heard of the Syclone? Totally awesome truck there...

 

WAAAY off topic but hey DaKubez, your signiture has one of the coolest guys EVER in it! Tenacious D is my favorite band!

I've heard of it, even had a video of one awhile back of it doing donuts in a parking lot. :laugh:

 

Have you ever heard of the chevy "Xtreme", it's an S-10 with a sporty package Every-time i see one, i almost fall asleep.:sleep: kind of bland looking:boring: Import cars do a good enough job of making rice, and when america does it, it doesn't make it any better. make good daily drivers though....maybe.......

Hey, that's awesome, dude. Tenacious D does totally rock. You should get the Masterpiece DVD, it's totally awesome...

 

American rice is wrong, but it's still American, so it rocks. I got Need For Speed Underground for the Xbox. All ricers, but there was one American car, so I took the American one. It's a Dodge Neon, and boy does it haul. It turned out to be one of the fastest cars in the game, it's faster than my bro's Miata, just don't tell him i said that.

 

forget the jap cars im gettin an old bug for a daily commuter of course its gonna end up being quick tooo just like my buick cept for the fact it could never look as good. the bugs gonna be my toy..

 

Syclones are AWD. How would u manage to do a donut in one?

 

Good point, but I bet they launch well at the strip....

 

A friend of mine has a Syclone, it ran 11.9 with a 1.6X 60-foot on cheap Sears radials:laugh:

 

I'm pretty sure it was a syclone or tyclone or something like that. I'll try and find the video again.

 

You can do donuts in awd cars, you need to get all 4 tires to light and basically drift the car around in a circle. It's hard but i have in person seen someone do it with a typhoon and a subaru wrx and both thoes cars are awd, Looks pretty cool but is wider than a standard donut. I will add both times i have seen it done it was a bit wet out. That guy with the subaru actually got it to spin around in place 1 revolution on his second try but then it grabbed traction and he went drifting around in a circle.

 

I could provide you with a video of not only Syclone/Typhoon donuts, but also an import AWD doing a donut (STi), all on dry pavement.


When I do donuts in the STi... it starts in big wide circles and comes into spinning around its middle instead of spinning around the front wheel... Syclones and Typhoons do the same.

 

A Syclone has a viscous transfer case with roughly 35% front 65% rear static torque split. A Syclone will also do a nice burnout with only the rear wheels smoking. My buddy used to do this trick when guys would try to chicken out on races with him. He'd tell them he just put the bodykit on a 2 wheel drive S10 V6. We'd say "listen to the exhaust. Sounds like a 6 right. Now could an AWD Syclone do this?" As soon as the rear tires started spinning the "victims" would be all relieved and ready to race this supposed V6 2WD S10. They could never figure out how a 2WD on radials could drill them out of the hole so bad. HEHE.

 

I actually had a 99 sonoma s-15 with the 4.3, got bored and stuck a vortech s-trim blower on it along with an ignition upgrade,computer upgrade,a set of gears, and fed it methanol and the little truck became quite the little beast.

 

Race my girlfriends 2001 chevy extreme with its 4.3. I assure you, you will not smoke the hell out of it.

Well, if that "4.3" is so hot, then bring it over here to keokuk iowa and i'll have rob(my friends dad) bring his 1970 buick GS 350 4 speed and i'll show that extreme what "speed" is all about!!!:3gears: It's ok though, my 231 is no speed demon, but is very good for what it is, and i can promise you one thing, rob's car is faster than most any truck could be, no matter what.
