What does rice mean??

[Ricochet]

My girlfriend has a base 2.2 '97 cavalier. It's a bit torquey but if you floor it you don't go anywhere. It makes all the loud sounds of a normal engine though lol...

[KrAzYStOrM]

BTW "rice" is a term bigass domestic cars use for imports when they are faster than them aka - ricers/riceburners etc..

[Mrock]

Not Necessarily. Here in Tampa, "rice" is used quite often among the import racing crowd, towards the fast and the furious wannabe kids.

I have decided to take a stand against all the American "rice" rolling around. The Neons, Cavaliers, and S-10s of the world that have completely lost their way. They are now "burgered out". If our Hondas, Acuras, Nissans, Toyotas, etc are "rice" because the Asians that built them "only" eat rice and therefore MUST power their vehicles with them, then these Fords, Chevys, and Dodges, etc built by Americans must be powered by the hamburgers that America is so notorious for! I'm proud to be American, but goddamn do we love our McDonalds!!!

So let us unite as we fight the BurgerStangs with GT-R badging, the BurgerNeons with huge aluminum APC wings, the BurgerCavaliers with F-Bird style hood scoops and 5in exhaust tips, the BurgerS10s with APC altezzas and Supra style spoilers at the end of the cargo bed!!!!!

Amen! It would be nice if the american cars stuck to their own look, and modifications, and let us be. I mean, you don't see many honda's running around with V8's in them...if we can't have their V8's, then I want our decals, the 5inch exhaust tips, and rims back!!!

(I'm not a fan of 5 inch exhaust tips, but lets face it...the import crowd DOES sort of "own" the rights to them, unfortunately.)

Does that say 115 and 18.8 as in 18.8sec @ 115mph!!!

First of all, if that car ever saw 115mph, it might explode!
Second of all, HOW THE HELL CAN YOU GET TO 115MPH IF ITS TAKING YOU 18.8 TO GET TO THE LINE!?!?!?


I LOVE RICEBOY PAGE! haven't been on it in a while tho.

u fucking tool making fun of people when u don't know what u speak about. 115 is the track ID number...nothing to do with trap speeds. Let me give you a little eduction on traps, shall we. Trap speeds change from car/car but a 115mph trap should get u somewhere in the 12.0-12.5 range. Let's take my friend's 911 Turbo for example. At the track, picking 3 of his runs he ran
Ruiner (TT Porsche) #60
12.7@111mph
12.9@109mph
12.6@110mph
As you can see, his 12.7 he trapped higher than his 12.6 run. Your trap speeds really don't mean much, as long as you have no major error in your run, your trap should stay about the same. Trap speeds really come into play from when u wanna find out if a car is faster from a roll than you or not. Now please before u make fun of someone again, make sure u know what u are talking about first

Wrong. My brother ran mid 14's @ 118 mph with street tires, due to traction problems. With good traction, he's looking at 12's...and a slightly lower trap speed. If you have an unusually high trap speed, then most likely, you're losing traction at the beginning. 115 mph doesn't always mean you're in the 12's...

YES did u even read what I said you fucking tool I didn't say that 115mph means u are automatically in the 12's. I said things change car/car and who cares that your brother ran a 14@118, it just means he is a troll who cannot prep his car properly when going to the track. Exactly, he is going to get a real tire, go back to the track *assuming what u said is true* and run a 12.5@115mph. Wow holy shit, I was so far off base. I was using the numbers of 12.0-12.5@115mph in properly prepped cars. Who cares about dumbasses who come to the track with street tires who cannot hook. No one...........and it was an estimation, meaning not always accurate, a safe guess. You should consider a dictionary for your next purchase.

How about we trade christmas gifts. You get me a dictionary, and I'll get you a grammar book.

No need for name calling. (what is it with you calling people fucking tools? ) Sorry for being wrong about something, I guess I should change my screen name from Dr. Rocketscience back to 00accord44 huh Ive never been to the track. I have a stock Accord. The track isn't ready for that kind of power yet.

Also, someone addressed this issue a long time ago and informed me. Please read the thread next time. Its not that long.
