Damn ricers, they think all domestic cars are crap! My favorite thing to do is pull up next to them at a light, let them rev their engines at me, wait for the light, and pace them up to 60 miles an hour, shifting normally…then I drop into second gear, floor it, and blow them away! If I come up next to them again, I roll the window down, yell, “Real sports cars have two seats!” and drive off.
Well, if you want to do something about it, visit www.ricecop.com and report 'em
The only car I have to drive around in is my mother’s Expedition (hey, don’t laugh… it may be big, cumbersome, and have shitty gas mileage, but it’s roomy and powerful). A couple times in the past few months, I’ve pulled up to a “ricer” at a red light… as soon as it turns green, they zip off and try to outrun me. Well, hell, the engine in my car weighs more than their POS does… a little twitch on the gas puts me ahead of them, no problem.
I love seeing their shocked face in my rear-view mirror. I guess the only time that look isn’t present is when they manage to “smoke” some old granny in a Buick.
Or when they race each other to see who can actually hit 60mph in 10 seconds.
10 Seconds? BwaHaHa…I think my brother’s WRX will do it in 4.5-5 or so.
And stock it wasn’t anything to sneeze at either…

SoCal here- Asian boys and marines, mostly.
Silly kids. I drive the mother of all wannabe-SUVs, and there’s nothing like good British steel comin’ off the line.
My Land Rover Discovery will kill any ricer on the road. It has the same engine as a Range Rover, but a smaller, lighter body, and really nice pick up.
It must suck to get beaten like a red-headed stepchild by a white girl in a grown-up car with baby seats in it.
Ahh, good site Neurotik. Hadn’t seen them before.
And astro: most of those ricers, if they would have hung onto their money and spent it on a real car, instead of getting a crappy (relatively) one and spending a hell of a lot of money on crappy ‘mods’, paint, and stickers that don’t do anything but add weight/air resistance to the car… (I do so hope that you were being sarcastic though, and this is just a whoosh.)
The best thing to do with ricers: wait until you’re at a light. Notice the nice cop maybe a half-block ahead. Notice the ricer definately not notice the cop, as they plainly want to drag you. Light turns, ricer goes ‘screeech’ (or tries to: the screeching is coming from the dying hamsters), and cop’s lights go ‘blinky-blinky’. Ricer gets ticket, you get good laugh, and don’t forget to wave at the ricer as you pass 'em by.

Here in Iowa, it’s mostly Whigger punks.
Yeah, well, we’re having fun trashing rice-boys without resorting to racial slurs, thank you.
“Whigger” is about as racist as “'ricer,” in my opinion.
Yeah those are quick alright. I tested one last summer,revved it and “scratched” all fours. that little sucker would beat my 'stang (not for long)
Forget my last post. I’ve been thinking about it, and it seems that “ricer” is actually more racist than “whigger.”
According to what’s been said, a ricer is an Asian teen.
A whigger is a white teen who acts like a gangsta stereotype. Or a ghetto-trash punk.
Wow! Hooked on phonics sure worked for you! Of COURSE we’ve been talking about mounting spoilers, tail wings, and “car kits” (my emphasis) on Asian teens!
NO NO NO NO. A “ricer” is NOT an asian teen. A “ricer” is either a lowridin, sticker laden and lawnmower sounding car or the driver(or passenger) of said car. The term “ricer” stuck to them because they ussually drive Japanese cars. “Whigger” (or “wigger”) is play on words of another word that is most certainly racist. IMO, “wigger” is MUCH more offensive than “ricer”. But in either case, its probably only offensive if they are talking about you.

Sorry, SPOOFE, I suffer from Temporary Idiot Syndrome. What’s your post suppost to mean?
I was just defending my position that “ricer” seems to be more of a racial slur than “whigger,” in a responce to Syzygy’s post.
Aw, fuck it. I’m having trouble thinking this week.
[Preview is my friend…]
Oh… Thanks dead0man. The specific subject of the thread must have gotten blurred by my scrambled brain (I’ll be better by Thursday afternoon.) Forgive me for my misunderstanding.
So please, ignore my previous posts.
I’ve always thought of those kind of cars as “penis extensions”.
Ricer is not an Asian teen…
Ricers can be white, black, green, mexican, or Asian. Some places have Ricers of one color primarily(like Exprix said), but like in my area, I have rice of all colors.
Stop whining about the moniker.

Jesus H. Fucking Christ on a pogo-stick, I already appologised for my ignorance.
Whoopsie! Sorry, Flipper

Just a side note, putting a free flowing exhaust doesn’t automatically mean more horses. If the motor in question has a lot of cam overlap, you will actually reduce horsepower, as half you intake charge is getting sucked down the tail pipe before the exhaust valve slams shut. And if you dont re-tune the fuel side of things to match the exhaust flow, you arent gonna gain anything in any case.
