i rarely visit this theread but i have to put my input.

i own a somewhat muscle car its a 91 Cougar Ls 5.0 ive seen cars like mine being bastardized by Ricers they have added wings, useless rims,Melonlauchers tips and graphics that actually belong to imports whats really funny is they get out run by "Coyotes"(sneaky bastards like me who mod cars(mainly engines) that dont look fast) their engines are the stock 5.0 V8 or V6 i still out run them on a semi stock engine the only mods done to my engine is actual 91 Mustang parts like the injectors, intake plennum, and heads. i plan on upgradding to headers and modding the exhaust and maybe a 2 inch front and a 1 inch lowering job in the rear(this is known as the Detroit Lean).

i didnt add funky graphics or stickers to my car because its not an import. its a Euro Designed car and i plan on following on the Euro Design i plan n doing some decroming so that my car is almost entirely black the only thing left Chrome on the entire car will be the grille trim the teeth will be cut off and the other parts left in color will be the Aluminum Mercury grand marquis wheels on some fat rubber. i want my car to look like an interceptor(yes i like Mad Max) all black little chrome but im not adding any goofy stickers i want my car to look and go fast.

if you look at some of the dedicated Import Tuners they always start Engine First. its not how good your car looks its how fast can it go

belive me every car culture has its own version of "Rice"

Hotrods, whats Rice in this culture:NASCAR
Lowriders,whats Rice in this culture:wannabes Just the wheels nothing else
Imports,whats Rice in this cultureosers (read in thread)
Trucks,whats Rice in this culture:Mexican look trucks(if you seen these then you know what i mean)
Kustoms,whats Rice in this culture: cars that ride in trailers AKA Trailer queens

feel free to add your own

all american: apple pie

you got it wrong its Field Cars or Cracker Rockets

Hmmm, well Terminal Velocity has a '93 T-bird with the same 5 liter engine. But what I don't get is, why are you calling an 800 hp stock car "rice"? Explain.

You can see it out your window, or on your television.
It is the lie that has been pulled over your eyes, rice boy, to blind
you from the truth of real power.

Oh, sweet jesus, that is too good! I laughed so hard I cried, and then I laughed some more.

all japanese: rice burners
all american: apple pie
all german: blitzkrieg

Blitzkrieg eh? I like that very fitting!

While 800 hp is fairly respectable, Nascar has so many restrictions on their cars now, like 4 speed trannies, steel wheels, restrictor plates... They could be a lot faster than they are.

Besides, what's 800 hp to a hotrodder?

DAMN RIGHT BROTHA!

too bad I dont have a aussy falcon with a monza front clip, with a blown 351 C producing 600hp at the wheels

FUEL INJECTED VENGENCE!

I'd say what makes NASCAR the hot rodding version of rice is all of the political squabbling amongst the makes for parity and all of the dodgy policies NASCAR has about giving the fans what they want to see (ie. Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Daytona last year, you can't tell me that race wasn't rigged) At least Formula 1's politics are interesting and involve actual debates, not a frickin' 1/4 inch of airdam.

Besides, what's wrong with a sticker or two on your front quarter panel if you're using the parts. The NISMO stickers I see on S13's with SR20DETs are, I'd think, the import rodding equivalent of a Clay Cams "Mr. Horsepower" (the woodpecker with the cigar, folks) or a Rat Fink.

I miss Ed Roth..... I met him once, he was a great guy and possibly the weirdest customizer ever. (Mysterion, Beatnik Bandit, Outlaw, Tweedie Pie)

I've seen alot of cool rice, Spec2Girls car -could- be considered rice for the few mods on it, but its damn fine rice. Saying rice isnt an unsult aside from the most card core muscleheads and 14 year olds who know nothing.

my two pasos

does that mean this is rice?: http://www.ffcobra.com/ubb/ultimateb...c;f=1;t=006089

that thing is pretty much all custom besides the 429 boss under(out of?) the hood. that's not rice, its an almost complete custom car that the owner went out of his way to create, and to him its exactly what he wants and i would definently drive that thing

and by your theory funny cars are also rice. no.
