C'mon guys.. there is a big difference between kids that are modding their cars for performance and kids that are just adding dumb giant spoilers, stupid neon, massive f@rt can exhaust and a million stickers in Kanji characters that they have no clue what it translates too...
I do respect Ricers that have serious grunt - and some of them do.
Note my first modded car below - 1975 Datsun B210 - it was Rice all the way... BUT... I transplanted an 12:1CR oddfire Buick V6, a Muncie Rockcrusher and 4.11:1 Ford 9inch rear. It may not look like much, but my "Ricer" ran consistent low 10 on slicks.

[QUOTE=400hp] but I wont beat the hell out of my car just to impress a 19 year old in a $1,000 car with a coffee can muffler and some decals. If they want to know what a Corvette can do, I say let them buy one. [QUOTE]
I did so watch out for the 19 year old in the Vette with the 408!

I love Russia, but it's not Vette country. The roads would kill my suspension and wheels within 2 miles!!

No bust on minivans - I love my friends' - 7 of us can go out and get saucy with one DD and even get to watch Will Ferrell's Best of Satuday Night Live in transit on the DVD!

But, I give them a thrill whenever it's safe to do so. When they can finally afford what they want, they will remember that the guy in the Vette 5, 10, or 15 years ago was enjoying his car as much as they enjoy theirs now.
A few months ago while going to the airport, 4 guys in a Honda Civic revv'd at me at a light. They were begging to run me. They said they know they would lose but wanted to try anyhow. Light turned green and I gave them a 6 second blast. When they finally caught up, I thought they had wet their pants they were so excited. For me, thats what I want them to remember down the road when they can afford a better car. Or, when they are walking through a parking lot and see a Corvette. Instead of keying or spitting on it because the last guy they saw in one was a pompus azzhole, or oggle it because the last guy they saw in one gave them a thrill. Decide which guy you want to be.
Exactly. Kids ain't dumb. They don't think that they're going to win but they love to see our cars go. Most often, I give 'em a little blast and then slow down and almost always they say what's up, smile and wave... Its all about having fun with your fellow man...

I'm sorry the devil made me type that.
