Only way a cavalier could go 200 kph (120 mph) would be if it was caught in a tornado.

I was at the chicago auto show in feb 2002, its when the came out with the 03's. I stopped in the mitsu booth and asked one of the reps standing next to a eclipse with a double carbon fiber wing

"does the weight savings of the carbon fiber help add downforce on the rear tires to aid in traction of the drive wheels at high speeds?" This was a FWD one, now AWD.

His responce was "where do you get these questions" in a heavy orental accent? I turned away to see a friend who also hates ricers bust out laughing.

"Do they even go that fast?"





Sure, if you rear-end them hard enough

gotta tell ya this one. my buddy and i were picking up lunch today in his lincoln mark 8. Anyway, his car is pretty quick but its a lincoln. then this ricer, in primer, i think it was a beat up eagle talon, maybe a turbo, pulls along side of us at the light. then the ricer starts revving the little 4 banger (complete with duck fart muffler). now, my buddy doesn't back down from a race, and he has two 12 second olds cars at home. so he looks over and tells the guy they are gonna give it a go. when the light went green, the ricer let out a chirp, and by the time the chirp ended, we were 20 feet ahead of him. as we pulled into the factory, we had the brakes on for a good 5 seconds, and he comes SCREAMING by, duck fart muffler blasting, like he was gaining on us now. anyway, i'm sure when he tells his buddies, either he will have won the race, or there is some "crazy" lincoln out there with nitrous and a super charger. none of which are true. Moral of the story, its fun to spank a ricer, whether your in a ctd or not.

It is so funny to see the ricers with their big a$$ exhaust. I guess they don't know the relationship between back pressure and torque... .

Was that Lancer of the Evolution variety? If it was - he let you win... . or he can't drive worth doggie dung.....



A proper AWD launch with one of those cars will eat a non-4x4 boost launched Ram (or street tired 2wd... ) for breakfast.....



Ricers spending money on stupid bolt-ons usually leads to a few of them bolting on NOS/turbo kits... ... this will eventually drive the prices down - see where I'm going with this?



And you can NEVER knock the sweet-sweet girly-girl action that each and every ricer TV show and event has.....



Bikini, as well as hydrous t-shirt contests are par for the course at EVERY ricer event.....

Holeshot, for all I know he had every goodie made under the hood and thought I was just some punk that was trying to act bad. I know that stock those Lancer's are supposed to be quick (mid 14's from what one of my friends claims). If I lose to rice (and I haven't yet, and I race everyone that will race me) it's cause they've got a lot of stuff done to their car and know their stuff. You don't lose in a 430 RWHP pickup to a car with a duck-fart exhaust and some cool stickers.



I poke and prod every ricer I talk to trying to entice them into a race. Hardly any ever want to... I don't know why. Maybe they think that since I'm so pumped to race that I can't be beat, but then they go and laugh at the fact that I want to race them in my "big, slow truck"... oh well, what they don't know won't hurt their pride... .



The best ricer story I have is when I raced a guy in his "pimped-out" Acura from a stoplight... I glanced over, saw him kissing on his good-looking girlfriend, so I revved up the CTD. He understood and revved back... well, I staged and the cross lights went yellow... when the light turned green, he chirped and I launched... before we were across the intersection I had two lengths on him and was still pulling. All the way to 75 MPH he kept dropping back. I slowed to see if he wanted more, and he rolled up next to me. His girlfriend was DYING LAUGHING AT HIM!!! She looked up at me and smiled and gave a big wave... I about fell out of my pickup laughing, and have since seen the guy numerous times... weird thing is, he won't race now. Oh, and the best part of the whole thing... I had a witness with me. That makes victory so much sweeter.



Death to rice... . as Cummins4Life would say "Friends don't let friends drive Uncle Ben's" Oo. Although the Mighty Cummins likes to eat rice any chance she gets.

Around here in the swamp, the ricer boys are sooo proud of their duck fart exhaust systems. Cant count how many have tried to out- rev/ out- noise my basically stock CTD (no intercooler even). At idle, I can drown most of them out with the mild PDR Hx35-12 combo whistling through the straight exhaust. Most of them wont run with me anymore. Not sure why. Just have a beat up old pickup with a quarter million; takes nearly a 1/4 mile to top 80 mph. A lot of kids try to ricerize their Cavaliers with the stickers. If I had the money they spend on stickers alone, I'd have quite a rig.

It's also fun to spank the 350/ 454 crowd too. I'm still too chicken to run against the newer gasser 1/2 tons- most are autos- slight bottom advantage. HAve to get cooled and then some PODs. WIth my origainal Getrag at 256K, dont want to push my luck, either.

Well, since they have NO torque, they have nothing to lose with the sewer-pipe exhaust... .
