Why are rice burners so popular?

Does anybody know why ricers are so popular? All they do is eat up our economy and take our jobs. They even sound like shit with there trashcan mufflers that make them sound like pissed off bumble bees. And ive got one last question. If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

Do you realize that most of those "riceburner" are built here in the continental United States, meaning Americans are populating the workforce of those factories? My car was built in Quebec, so I'm an import enthusiast

Don't get me wrong, I hate imports, but seeing that your talking aobut the ecnomy im assuming that you are talking about new cars. Alot of people that try to make imports so fast are kids. 16-20 years old give or take a few years. As far as the new car market what does a doomestic producer have to offer in an affordable high performance sports car??? Absoultly nothing. As you all know chevy droped the Camaro and TA. Ford offers the Mustang still but the GT and up are so damn expesive. Donge offers the turbo neon. Thats about it . My sisters boyfriend is an import lover and untill I gave him a ride in my car the fastest car that he had ever been in was a lightly modded cavilar, and untill he rode in my car he swore that the cavilar would eat me alive . Alot of them don't know what fast is. This is just what I see going on with the imports


Later
Andy

I think its a cheap thrill more than anything. Like someone said above they are teenagers that dont have any money. I have a nissan that is my daily driver and it is nothing compared to driving my T/A. But these guys that dont have any money they buy a crx for 1000 bucks and cut the exhaust off and call it fast. Though it is anything but...fast. Some consider imports the "Muscle Car" of today. Well, there is hardly any muscle at all there, but the guys that can make a Honda run 12's, 11's, or 10's those are the guys I have respect for. Cuz that takes a lot of time and money. A few of my friends are import enthusiasts like my friends WRX runs a low 13, that is cool..... What I still dont understand is these guys talk so much trash about us muscle guys and yet there cars are 2-5 seconds slower in the 1/4. I dont get it, and I never will. Sometimes I just think its cuz they are trying to be gay. But they may also be jealous and crying out for attention. Well, I just said a whole lot of nothing so I am going to stop now...

I also have a real hard time beleving that you can smoke an 03 cobra. I run 12.6 in street mode and 11.81 with slicks and race gas and I sometimes have a hard time shakin them loose. At least the ones around here. A person know has bought a pully and a chip and he dynod like 415 HP at the wheels . not bad


P.S. what is a LPE camaro??? is this a speical camaro or is this one avaible to all the public at a halfway affordable price I've never herd of it.

I believe he's refering to a Lingenfelter Performance-tuned Camaro.

As for the remarks of Mr. Boosted, how can you beat 03 Cobras, and not beat an SS Camaro? I can't beat an 03 Cobra and I drive an SS. I beat them off the line, and then they haul ass right past me. You sir, are lying...

Yea my stock GSX can kill stock Stangs and Camaro's all it took was me going from 12pis of boost to 22psi with a bigger turbo, intercooler, exhuast, fuel system, dyno-tune. But you can't S/C your V-8 that's cheating!!!!

OK a Lingenfelter is not a stock camaro. thats alot of money for that ammount of money anyone who knew what they where going could build a car that could slaughter a Lingenfelter camaro. Lingenfelter is way over priced for the performance. Lets try to keep our comparsions realistic.

P.S. For that much money I could build a Stage III buick 4.4 litre v-6 that would make even that Lingenfelter twin turbo vette look stupid.

The Pontiac GTO is coming! I still think GM should produce the AWD LS1 V8 Grand Prix. Is there any cheap "true" sports car? NO! I don't have a problem with any type of car, its usually the people driving them. Ricer's are the worst & there is a difference between rice car drivers & a true car person. Most cases the slow looking imports are fast & the fast looking are stock, slow, loud. I don't think I've heard too many 4-bangers that sound good, shit my CBR900RR sounded better than most 4-bangers, including my civic. Nothin' beats the sound of a high compression/big cam V8. I've heard ricers say they sound like shit hhhhmmmmm. since when?
