I "owned" some guy in a Honda this morning.

People think they are going to pass all the cars and cut over to make that turn. I have almost been hit several times there.
I love doing that. Do ricers think our cars are NOT fast or something?

Rice is when someone with nothing puts decals of mods they don't have, and or go to Wal-Mart and purchase Modes for their car. Worse yet they believe that Autzone is gods gift to cars.... Ricers could not even spell NAPA.

Bling Bling lights and loud noise do not a fast car make... This is Rice....

Let's keep in mind that they do weigh in the neighborhood of 3900 lbs, and aren't exactly the torque monsters that pushrod-equipped V8s tend to be blessed with, so I wouldn't call them fast. Not stock at least.

Most of these cars are in the 14-15 second zone. My 98' LSC only managed a 15.1 on the best of three runs here in Phoenix.

Of course, I realize that 'fast' is also according to your frame of reference, but in my own frame, Lincoln doesn't fit the bill.

I see alot of them quick as hell at the local track here running in the 11's............

ease up on the imports and let them do thier thing, and we will do ours.

You'd get the same issues if you where a dodge truck fan vs ford or chevy.

We all love our cars for our reasons.

One guy actually bit once, and waited for me at a gas station near my home. When he saw me pull up, he drove away.

Of course, when I insist on $100 per gear, or pinks, they put their tails between their legs and run for the nearest import shop for more go faster stickers.

Don't get me wrong, I respect anyone who can make any car faster, but louder, does not always mean faster. Also notice that the ones with the biggest mouths and the highest wings almost always have the slowest cars.

If you make real power, you don't need to gut everything just to go fast.

I don't think anyone posting in this thread would argue that engine mods make cars faster... and if you in crease the force behind a very light car it will even go faster....

Our V-8's mover our 4,000lb beasts very nicely. And when you compare the Mark VIII to your basic ricer which is a no engine mod 4 banger with flashy lights, coffee can, Wal-Mart spinners, Autozone sticker ed, and Spoiler, toting around like they have a 10 second car.

That's what the beef is.

Not to mention the god awful paint jobs... I don't think this thread is a waist of time. It's a vent of frustration coming from people who remember real cars that had a lot of balls without using Turbos, or NOS. Plus I remember back back in HS if you had a piece of $hit to drive you didn't act like it was the fastest thing in the parking lot, but grateful you had something to drive around. But Warden you are most defiantly right to each their own!

I'm sure glad my own is a Mark VIII... A little remembrance of old American Muscle.... not that the Mark VIII compares with the muscle but it does let you know where it's roots are...
