It kinda reminds me of that car in Mad Max, the one with the glued on intake pipes that the motorcycle gang rides down, runs off the road, and then abuses the poser and his unlucky girlfriend. All this guy needs is a Batman exhaust on the back with a propane tank in the trunk to make the fire shoot out (it creates thrust -- HONEST!)

It has an air scoop AND a blower scoop... yet no open intake to anything exists in the engine compartiment.

This car is soooo cool. I notice that he saw Fast and the Furious and realized to avoid having your floor board rivets pop out while drag racing, he'd reinforce them with diamond plate.

Ricers are pieces of junk. They put all that crap on their car and it doesn't make it any faster. There are some ricers that actually do stuff to their cars to make them faster, but they're about 1% of the total.
I'm a domestic car person myself and love to blow the ricers off the road in my Grand Prix GTP. I'm mildly modded and love it when I shut down 7 or 8 cars ahead and they do the ricer "fly by".
Now I know where all our recycled beer cans went.

i love this typical domestic narrow viewpoint

**** pistons.

It looks like the Batmobile mated with a tree frog.

Sometimes the truth is narrow.

BUY DOMESTIC!
(now that's narrow)

But...buying domestic IS buying Japanese. Even BMW's are made in America! (X5, Z4)

I didn't know BMWs were Japanese made. Last time I looked they were a German company.
How about I define "domestic".

American designed and made cars. Cars that come from companies that were founded in the U.S. like G.M., Ford, Chrystler, etc. Just because a car is manufactured in the U.S. by a foreign owned company, doesn't make it domestic.
I'm betting you won't see any "ricers" as collectable cars in 30+ years. Classics like the Mustang, 409 and 55-57 Chevs are true classics made in the "U.S.A.".

You'd be surprised. Those "ricers" last a long time.
Of course, the ridiculous customizations, well, I'm betting the drivers of those things will total them before they hit "classic" stage.

The reason they are classics is that 99% of the cars coming out of Detroit since 1970 or so have been absolute crap.
