Its so sad seeing guys my age (21) give us such a bad reputation with the rice cars.
Whenever i see a ricer and his girlfriend in the car i dont even bother cause i feel guilty smoking his ass in an outdated 88 BMW. Well even if i lopped off two cylinders i still dont think its much of a challenge lol

I have a mustang (yeah yeah, I know) that's getting a 440 for power.  A couple of years ago, when I was running it with the 393 stroker smallblock ford that was in it, I was driving around on the street.  There happened to be some folks I recognized at a hardees parking lot, so I pulled in.  I hung around for a while, and a kid with some sort of jellybean car with a lawnmower handle and fart muffler came up.  He eventually started talking smack about domestics, so I challenged him to a race.  He apparently did not notice the slicks on the back of the mustang, and he was going to go for it.  Unfortunately, his buddy was at the track a week or so before, and saw the car run.  The dumbasses at the track ignored the big "X" I put on the passenger window in shoepolish, which tells them to not display the car's time.  They picked the quickest pass for the car to date to do that.  That pass was a 9.76 at 137.  When the kid heard that, he was suddenly not interested in racing anymore.  I don't blame his buddy for telling him, but MAN, I wanted to destroy that guy in front of his friends!  It's funny, there was no discussion about the mustang having a full interior (including power windows/locks/mirrors/CD player) minus a back seat and running those times.  I think he developed a full blown case of amnesia about that.

Da*n near every ricer I see around is a total turd mobile, but you gotta hand it to the Subaru STi and the Mitsu EVO. On Youtube.com, I saw the host of Top Gear TV, in a EVO, hang behind a Lambo Murcielago with a F1 driver for a pilot. It was a nice little road course and Jeremy Clarkson is no slouch of a driver himself. If the EVO would have started in front the Lambo wouldn't have passed.

Wow!  Great video!  Makes you want to go out and do power slides! 

It would be nice if they could do something like that with the US version of the Subaru STi.  For one of the first times the US market got something better than the European market.  Over there, if I'm not mistaken, they are limited to a 2.0L engine due to rally race rules.  Over here, we get the 2.5L that puts out 300hp, not sure about the Euro spec one but I think it's less.

[go-fish]

Yep, They're limited to two litre's. In one vid, Clarkson holds up 2L of milk w/the "bonnet" open. It is a crazy comparison.

Wanna race?  lol

Most of the local riceboys don't even bother me anymore.  When I first got the Barracuda, I'd get revved at almost every time I drove her.  Now I guess they've figured out that they aren't gonna bait me into a street race.  Either that, or they don't want to lose to a 17 second car.
