Ok lets define your car, if you say it is not a ricemobile cause it has "go"

How about Tacky waste of money? No, not strong enough.

smurfy nasty purple barney looking pile of dodge ****? Thats getting closer?

Hmm no still not there, about Ugly purple chick repelling pile ricer looking crap?

Hmmm purple tackymobile?

So far I have not found one dude at work who did not laugh at your car...

Funked, have you gotten to ride in the SRT-4's yet? Friend has one he hit 12.8x at Thundervalley in Noble, OK. He got a MBC, Blow-off valve, changed wastegate spring tension, and put on some drag radials. Those cars are crazy. I'm thinking about splurging and picking one up. I can get one for about 17k at the local dealer.

ALL SHOW AND NO GO[/B]

There used to be a http://www.riceboy.com web site. Everyone would send this guy pictures of riceboy cars. They were great. One of my very favorite cars was a Ferarri 355. Yes, it was a real Ferarri 355 on a riceboy site. Why? Because the owner of this Ferarri had place a "turbo" emblem on his rear deck lid (from a porsche). That is riceboy personified.

It's not about "go", it's about needlessly adding weight to your car to make it look faster. The skirts, the big wheels, the rear spoiler... all needless useless weight. You're hurting 1/4 mile times by having them on your car. That stereo system in the trunk... needless weight and a massive draw on your alternater... resulting in additional work on your engine.

I don't have a problem with show cars. They're cool to look at. But "13.3 1/4 though it may not be accurate because I broke my axles at the launch" is riceboy.

P.S. I drive a mini. It's got about 115 hp. It isn't particularly quick, but good enough for driving down freeways and zipping when I need to. It also handles very well. I think it's perhaps the best commuter car on the market today.

I'll try to avoid dumping an additional 25k into it to try to make it into something it is not. I'll avoid spending entirely more money than is necessary to show I'm willing to throw money away as opposed to recognizing my car is ill suited for the environment I'm trying to force it into.

Also, when trying to establish you're not a riceboy, you need to find something better than "your car is ugly" as a point of contest.

I haven't ridden in one yet. Only seen a couple of them around here. They are neat cars, hats off to Dodge for having the balls to do what none of the other Big Three will do. They seem to break a lot but I understand Dodge is very liberal with the warranty, i.e. they fix stuff on modded cars and they will fix stuff that was obviously broken due to racing.

Sports cars are either RWD or AWD. FWD is teh sUCk.

Ok this is sort of getting old, if your best jab is to say Ricer this ricer that, then dont say anything at all, makes you somewhat smarter. SOMEWHAT..

Now back to my car.. If any of you tough muscle cars boys see me on the street, i'll just hope one of you has the balls to Rev that big engine of yours at me. While your still revving you'll be inhaling the rubber dust ill be leaving behind. Now enough of this, and while im on the subject. The old AH saying applies here in RL too, Let your guns do the talking, or as in the Car world, Let your car do the talking.

FYI i might be able to make it to the Con this year, im still not sure of my schedule.. But one of yas bring your bad boy down

poor wildthing... take me on the track with your 13.3 ET? Ur kidding right?

How many of my horses are getting to the ground? gee I dunno... guess most of em through my richmond gear six speed are making it to my 12 bolt Posi? how many of your anemic little hamsters are making it to one of your front wheels? My G tech says I am pulling about .87 g with my street dunlops, bilstein shocks and hotchkiss suspension... what are you pulling?

As for your spending all that money (half of it was even yours!) ... sheesh... cry me a river riceboy... I will send you a Chevelle/ElCamino restoration parts book.... heck I bought all that stuff and I didn't make my car look like some gay, color blind puerta rican (not that there is anything wrong with that) built it... geez ..... Why all the guages? not like there is anything other than RPM and fuel to monitor on that thing.

I would love to meet the chumps you talked into paying for half yur "daily driver"...

Dodge, chryseler, plymouth, are all mopars, they are all basicaly the same ****...

Dude, wildthing, you car is a tacky pile of ****, it may be fast but it is ugly and will always be ugly and tacky.. Again just my opinion. I am sure I am not alone that..

Did not bother to spell check, not worth my time.

As far as ricer's there's only one Jap Turbo that I have any respect for and that's the Nissan GTR (Godzilla) That thing has amazing performance and handling out of the bag.

BBC Top Gear did a review of it compared to the latest STI and Evo and it blew them away, and he's a big fan of those too. He said it was one of the most awsome cars he had ever driven. And that's comparing it to Diablo's Ferrari's and every other low production supercar.

Of course I'd still rather have my bike
