OT: Be careful which "ricers" you sneer at, There might be more to it. Options

When someone convinced the poor little misguided youth that rice was nice, that was the down hill slide. This is by no means a one time cycle. How many shackled up muscle cars did you see through out the 70s and 80s.. What about the van craze. Ricers are just the new generation of rednecks.


Most of the people on honda-tech are idiots, but there are some people and companies that really know what they are doing. Here are some of the more common combinations. Can't put it to the ground but damn from a roll they are lethel. I didn't even look for the Supra dyno charts, their always in the 800-1000hp range.

Whether you like rice or not there are some very fast cars and some major development going on on that side of the fence. There are many people just in town that look like rice and then there are the ones that look stock with a little lowering and some wheels that are very fast. Would flat walk away from most of germnay's best offerings in the straights some coudl do it in the corners, not many. Too bad road racing is not a major interest for these kids. Perhaps we could see a revival of the old days.
