WHAT IS A "RICER"?
To answer this question it would not be fair to just say my own personal opinion. The truth is that everyone has their own
definition of what "rice" is. To those of you who are not car enthusiasts that are visiting the site, you need to know that "rice" has
to do with vehicles. Modification of a vehicle is normally something that is done by a "car enthusiast". Depending on the intent of
the owner, a car can become faster, handle better, be more efficient, look better, or all of the above. Among car enthusiasts, both
imported and domestic, a unspoken respect is shared between those who have worked hard to modify their car, and have literally
made the vehicle better.
Then you have the ricers. Some say that it happened with the release of the movie "the fast and the furious", but "rice" has been
around for much longer than that. Originally, the term rice was called rice because not only where the vehicles that were guilty
from Asia, but a majority of the drivers were as well. In todays society this cant be further from the truth. People from all races,
driving cars made in every country, have found ways to "rice out" their vehicles. These people, who proudly own and operate
these vehicles are known as "ricers".
WHAT MAKES A CAR RICE?
This is where things can get a little hairy. Everyone has their own opinion of what makes a car rice, so here are what your
average car enthusiasts would define as rice. Special thanks to the users of LS2.COM, DFWLS1.COM and SUPERHONDA.COM
for their input on this question. Here is the peoples reply to the question, "What makes a car a ricer"?
-That gay ***, lawn mower/weed-wacker type sound that you can hear for miles coming from their shitbox. oh, and a huge ***
dumb ugly looking wing that serves no purpose other then looking stupid.
Then there are the stickers all over the car so it looks like a giant billboard for APC Racing....but ill let someone else talk
about that one.
-attitude-mixed with a slow car-and lots of stickers
-mentality and the illusion of being fast
-mostly how they act, the hard look, the revving, the peeling out at every stop light, the "my car could smoke anything", etc etc.
There are plenty of ricers in mustangs/fbodies
-Simple. The look/sound of speed without actually being fast/quick.Like the guy with a 72 nova with a 307 and open headers. Or
the guy with the c5 that wanted to drill holes in his exhaust before his muffler instead of buying a cutout or different exhaust. Rice
can definately be american. It's all in how the owner bastardizes his car.
-I only see ricers as people who have more show than go, but act like it's the fastest thing in the world.
-The mentality, the way they drive, the way they'll floor it to pass you on the left, switch lanes in front of you, jam on the brakes
and make a right turn. All the while sounding like a weedeater.
-aluminum wing, stickers, fart cannon, led turn signal mirrors, and a bad attitude
-Pretty much any car that is more show than go - body kits, wheels, fake NOS bottles, wings, stickers, etc on a car that is totally
stock. I think the term ricer could also be applied to a person who either has a fast car that can't drive it or thinks his car is much
faster than it really is. Some of these items by themselves don't necessarily make a car rice though. I had a car I think a lot of
people on this site would consider rice - '95 Nissan 240SX w/ a header and a "fart can" (full exhaust, not just a tip), but the body
and interior were totally stock, all modifications were for speed. I don't consider cars like that to be rice.
-In my opinion, the other day this kid pulls up to me with a Honda Accord. It had the dumbest looking paint job, gauges on the
pillar, it was lowered, had the biggest fart pipe I've ever seen, a wing on the back, and it was thumping the bass with music you
couldn't even make out because of all the static.
He's sitting there waiting for the light to change revving the motor so much I thought it was going to explode.
The MORON actually thought he could beat me. The light turns green and he spins a little and starts to move. I just took off rather
mildly and just walked away. I wasn't racing him by no means. At the next light he says to me, "you have an 8 cylinder don't you?" I
said, "uh, yeah, what did you think it was". He says, "Oh, I don't know but its pretty fast".
So I think a "RICER" is a moronic, idiot, fool, dumbass, that has no idea about performance and they think that fart
pipes, paint and big fiberglass wings is what makes a car fast.
True performance enthusiasts that own foriegn cars are no different than us, they are not ricers

By the way... you can dress it up however you want, but it's still a neon. And if you take off from a 50 mph start, you just better be careful who's next to you. There's a few on here that will embarass you.

don't sweat it srt dude, a lot of folks on here catch a lot of **** on the roads from people who buy the srt-4 and think they're the end all be all of everything, unfortunately you're catching the grief from other people being lame. from a 50 roll? couldn't answer that one for ya'. just ignore the lame stuff and enjoy the forum, there's a lot of info to be found here

i think it's sort of a compensation thing since the 8 get's dogged on just about everywhere else (except autocross)

The auto is not that bad and not a whole lot slower until you start to get past 4th gear, with the 06 having a 6 speed I'd be willing to bet the gap has shrunk even more as the engine is basically the same for both cars now. If you're gf likes to shift she will never get out of the 8 once she gets one and she'll probably never want another type of motor ever again other than rotary due to infinite redline and insanely smooth power delivery The auto makes pretty much the perfect daily driver for those of us who don't want to fight a clutch in traffic. Sure there are some differences between the auto and stick, but don't pay too much attention to the "stickgods" on here, even if the car was identical regardless of tranny they'd still bash it, modern autos are catching up to sticks pretty quick and in some cases are even faster than manuals. (new GTI for example) The 8 is a great car period, you really con't go wrong either way.

Let's not forget that the Mustang from 79-04 was based on the old Ford Fairmont, and I bet at least half of the guys on this forum have owned one at one time.

i always prefered saurkraut...i might see you out there. i'm cruising out with some of the BDJ's racing crew. it may still be a Neon but props to the people who cleaned them up and i will say those things can be quick. if its turbo then most likely i like it. just get sick of all the kids who got one for a quick speed fix...but to each there own. look for the steel grey M3 tonight. that would be me.
