Rice Alert!!!

So the other night i'm driving home, not in any big hurry and decide not to push a yellow light. As luck would have it, I end up first in a lane, with a full view of the other three directions of traffic. I guess some shinanigins had been going on during the other red light, because two "tricked out" import cars ( I think one was a civic and the other some sort of hundai) sounded like they were bouncing off their rev limiters. Now, these cars must have been fast, because they were loud (as well as obnoxious... they sounded like ass...), had some pretty impressive rear spoilers (rivaling that of the superbird), and had at least 200hp worth of stickers and glowy stuff. Also, they were obviously still in the project stage, otherwise their body kits might have matched the paint on the car and bumpers.
Anyway, they are sitting there waiting for the turn lane to finish, revving the crap out of their cars... amazingly there were no police around as they would have been ALL over those two... hmmmm, that might have been why the outcome was what it was.
Turn light goes yellow...

The cars inch foreward.. tires close to the crosswalk lines.

Turn light goes off... GREEN LIGHT COMES ON!!!

The beautiful ROARING of hundreds of horsepower... I mean, this exhaust note was NICE (and you could hear the engine over the exhaust from where I was). The two ricers take off, but that roaring... was from a 5.7L V8. The C6 Corvette that was in the furthest lane over must have gotten tired of their... show of automotive dominance, cause he lit up the tires and lanuched that thing.

Corvette made it across the intersection, and past the other crosswalk BEFORE the two ricers made it completely past the crosswalk on their side. It was the best ownage EVER. I havent' seen better. Anywhere. Seriously.

So, all I can really say, is YAY FOR CORVETTES :) even if a civic has 200hp worth of sticers, it's still no match ;)

Haha yeah thats the typical "race" car in my part of PA. By the way the C6 Vette is actually a full 6.0 liter, he was definately not taking any shit. Cool story.

Well my guess is that the ricers didn't have the neon glow lights on or that corvette would have gotten whooped. haha

oooo, 6L... work has taken from staying up to date with the new cars :(

w00t!

The c6 definately hauls ass, but just wait til the new Charger!
6.1L V8 Hemi - 425hp 425lb.-ft. torque. Damn I want one of those! but i think the c6 looks better.

That was REAL pwnage!

I call :bs:. Civics are unbeatable!

lol nice to see rice put where it belongs

and I don't recognize a charger if it has 4 doors...they mighaswell call it a Dodge Hemi cause all their doing is looking for excuses to put hemis in vehicles...plus its auto, and will always be auto...so booooo

The c6 definately hauls ass, but just wait til the new Charger!
6.1L V8 Hemi - 425hp 425lb.-ft. torque. Damn I want one of those! but i think the c6 looks better.

Unless it's launching on an oil slick, a C6 Corvette will kill a 6.1L Charger any day of the week, those Chargers are HEAVY! Still wouldn't mind one though :)

yea the ls2 in the new vette will walk 90% of the cars that you see on the road daily, and the charger will get beat by the ls1's that you see on the road daily, dodge craeted a real loser with a 4 door sports car

I don't know about that guys. The SRT-8 300 is running low 13's and trapping at 108-109 and the Charger is about 400lbs lighter, you do the math. The SRT-8 Charger should be a 12 sec car, that is if they don't kill the lowend with torque management, we'll have to see. I watched a SRT-8 300 beat up on an '04 GTO (LS1) on Sunday night. SRT owner said he ran 13.2@109 bone stock with 500 miles on the car. They might be heavy, but they're moving pretty good. Oh, and there was an auto C6 at the track last night running 13.1/13.2@107/108, sounds like a perfect match up for either SRT-8 ;)

well the 04 is a ls1 producing 345hp, the 05 is the ls2 making 400hp, the vette in 05 runs the 1/4 in 12.3, and the 06 z06 will be running the 1/4 in 11.5 stock with 500 hp. so no matter what dodge does they still are gonna be eating gm's dust

and 02 ls1 camaros and vettes run 13.5, so that c6 driver needs to figure out how to actualy drive his car

Can somone show me one of these new C6 Vettes running a low 12 bone stock? I mean, I keep hearing it, but I've never actually seen proof of it other than "Well so and so magazine says it can happen..."

I can see a C6 running in the mid 12's, they are as powerful as the last Z06 and they are a newer design. I don't think its anywhere close to impossible for that to run a 12. I hope the charger is lighter than the magnum because that thing is around 4000 pounds isn't it? Lots of power but geez, you can tell they are getting their genes from mercedes.

Well, you keep racing those magazines, and I'll go by what I see at the track and on the street, k? :thumbsup:

ac427cpe: your in AZ right? where did this happen at?

not too many people are running their 06's yet so its kind of hard to go by anything else, and how many srt-8's have you seen down on the track???

Haven't seen an SRT-8 at the track yet, only on the street and it put a couple lengths on an '04 GTO. The owner said he ran 13.2@109. Best I saw the C6 run was 13.1@108, it was an auto. I have no doubts the C6's are 12 sec cars, but it was pretty hot on Tuesday and it was an auto. But in the heat or not, a stock LS1 car is gonna have it's hands full with an SRT-8, LS2 should take it.

I would agree with that.

Central + Camelback, they were going west.

a little aside to the 200hp worth of decals thing: have u guys noticed that most of the time the decals advertise companies that only make decals? hahahaha. just think about this for a sec. we're talkin about cars that weigh over 4000 pounds beatin up on LS1 GTOs in stock form. i believe the 0- 60 numbers were under 5 for the SRT, but i could be wrong. BAD360s truck is runnin under 12. a truck. those other bozos arent even in the same building as wut comes from the rear wheels of an american car. lets not argue over which V8 cars better, just use em for the same purpose. o and jump over to the thread about the GTP beatin the vette and read the last few posts.tell me wut the hell highway racing is. i always thought that was a moron driving too fast with a car that he knows nothing about. i got a 1500 silverado with a 4.8. it will do well over 100. does this mean i can "highway race" too? r any of these guys actually old enuf to drive? cuz they sound like theyre about 12.

Can you please use paragraphs?

Reading that gave me a headache, and for what? Nothing! I still don't understand what you just said.

I know this will cause static but here it goes. Most people you call ricers are kids that have to be no older than 22 years old. A lot of them have shit for money because they mostly work at fast food joints and grocery stores, therefore, they can't get anything good besides a Civic. True, they should just leave the car alone and stop trying to mod it but I've seen Civics, Accords, and other cheap economy cars blow the doors off of higher-end models such as the SRT-4. I just say "Who cares?" Let them do what they want to do, spend the cash how they want to spend it, and kill 'em if they try to race you.

I agree to some extent. I make fun of ricers in the same way as I make fun of a friend for getting a stupid haircut. It's just some senseless fun.

But some of you really hate them with a passion. That's just really sad.

ill assume just about any car around me is a ricer if it has some ridiculous body kit and is either primer grey, obnoxiously painted(or both), cut coils so they are .5mm fromt he ground, are driving around with two stock and two aftermarket chrome rims(with the chrome ones in the rear non-drive wheels!), have a ridiculously large fart can and are constantly revving so their car sounds like the ass the driver is, and have thousands of stickers all over the car, most or all of which they have no components from.

i have a friend with a dog-ugly older 90s nissan sentra(maybe maxima?) that is flat black, on stock wheels with no hubcaps, with some off brand upgraded tires, and a cold air intake. he knows he slow. hes cool. hell, he jokes his own car lol.

Lets not argue over which V8 cars better, just use em for the same purpose.

If American V8s are so bad ass, then how come they need a V8 to do what a German car can do with I6? :evillol:

because that would cost 6 times more :loser:

Can somone show me one of these new C6 Vettes running a low 12 bone stock? I mean, I keep hearing it, but I've never actually seen proof of it other than "Well so and so magazine says it can happen..."
I can see it, but it would take a GREAT driver.
