at this point i think we can all agree that the term "ricer" doesn't just apply to high school kids with dropped civics. the term is kind of an equal opportunity jab at those who think they're fast or pretend to fit into a clic when in reality, they have no clue. having said that, these are a few of my observations. enjoy and feel free to add on to it. maybe we can devise a "ricer litmus test"

1) you believe more lights make you go faster
2) if those lights are neon, it's even faster
3) if you own a Suburban, Explorer, etc. with less than 4" of ground clearance
4) you have 50hp worth of speed stickers
5) some of those speed stickers include, 'Kenwood, MTX, and Rockford-Fosgate
6) You won a truck with a 10" lift kit, 36" 'superswamper' tires but you crawl over speed bumps
7) you have lights mounted but not wired up
8) you wind your Civic to 6500 every time you shift "to blow the carbon out"
9) you think your Accord ACTUALLY has 280hp because: engine-190hp+K&N-10hp+Tornado-10hp+Splitfire plugs and wires-10hp+polished air tube-10hp+header-20hp+catback system-15hp+40#injectors-10hp+5hp for performance tuning. and it just feels that fast.
10) you think that Accord (see above) will stomp a Vette becasue they're heavy and low tech
11) you think your stock Vette, Viper or Porsche will smoke anything out there just because you have the money to buy it.
12) you keep loosing races because your Prelude mysteriously looses fuel pressure.
13) the chrome skid plate on the bottom of your lifted 4x4 doesn't have a scratch in it.
and finally...
14) you've been practicing heel-toe in your automatic

Don't forget the awesome fart cans !!!!
(My wife thought that term was both hysterical, and appropriate) :D

a couple that I would add is

If your Daddy owns more of the car than you do.

if your sterio is worth $5,000 and the car is worth 1,500$

* Multiple monster wings are mounted to your car with bathroom caulk
* Stickers = 5hp, yellow stickers = 25hp, BIG yellow stickers = 50hp

Mannn, I love to hear stuff about ricers, I particularly like when your going down on'em.

Ohh, you guys forgot that one when they don't have enough money to buy the all 4 wheels at the same time and they run the new 17's in the rear and the stock 15's in front with hubcaps. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Of course spray painted brake calipers, $600 carbon fiber hoods, side skirts that hit the ground every time they go over a speed bump, and that monster tack they have on the dash with the shifting light :rolleyes:

Even more stupid is when there are 5 of them in the same car and they still wanna race you :lol:

Don't forget that when your 20 inch wheels & tires extend beyond the fender wells its a visible warning to other ricers that you are very fast, and YOU know it!(with or without the stickers/decals) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

If your speakers are a larger diameter than your tires!
If you feel your need a hood scoop to have clearence for your high lift cam!
If your exhaust system sound like a sewing machine on crack!
If you have ever tried to impress a woman by using the words v-tech or type-r!
If at any point of entering or exiting your car the chain on your wallet drags on the ground!
If they ever used more material to make your pants then they did to cover your seats!

Hey, i may be 11 years old but i want to build a ricer, but im not going to build it all by the looks. I wanna take the engine out bore it, put a stage 2 supercharger, and a 200-400HP boost NOS system. I am going to build a 96 Eclispe GTS TURBO, but im only building it to prove a point to the HIgh school kids that looks isn't everything.. I know i know im a trader but hey, i like the Vettes, Muscle cars, and everything that else has a Blower and more that 300HP!..

YOU MIGHT BE A RICER .....


1- If Delta, or any other airline, comes knocking at your door wanting their tail-wing back.

2- If the radio has enough bass to rattle every loose part on the car

3- If you have one of those stickers with Japanese writing, but you have no idea what it says - (Bomb the harbor, and buy Japanese!)

4 - You think that you can intimidate muscle cars by reving your engine to max, and dropping the clutch

subboz

1. When you are cruisin at the beach and one in the front of you just bangs his "mini me" motor of the rev limiter constantly to impress you.
2. You have a sticker like Neuspeed or foreign windshield stickers.
3. You spent 10 grand on the motor and you can only muster a 13.20 with nitrous
4. You put street slicks on the front rims.

I strenuously object to that remark. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with "just" having the money to buy something. Indeed, it is the sweetest way to have something, apart from stealing it with impunity.

There is nothing wrong with buying an instant can of cool. The Corvette was designed and made to BE an instant can of cool for guys who could afford to buy it, and only them. And it was (and is) priced to be tough to buy. Every one of the C3s in this forum was originally bought by someone who was making bags of dough and could afford the extravagance.

I will smoke you for the best possible reason: because I can afford to. Bring it on.
