: What is a ricer to you?

Just curious what some of you think. I see a lot of talk of ricer this and ricer that...and it's to be expected because this a forum for domestic cars. Other forums (imports or whatever else) are the same way. Nothing wrong with having a preference. I know some of you see me trolling around and I'm sure you want to get it off your chest. ;) So go ahead, be honest.
To me, there are imports, and there are "ricers." There are imports that I find very respectable. Then there are hondas with 4 inch fart cans on stock everything else, the occasional cavalier with underbody neon lights, and the Neon RT with a frickin' Boeing 747 wing glued to the trunk. If it makes you feel any better I had a cavy for 7 yrs. It was fun...maybe not "performance" fun, but I drove it into the ground. Wish I knew more about tuning back then. I think that's why I'm so interested in the Cobalt.
Here's a couple examples I took from elsewhere:

Any car with cliche modifiations.

I feel cars can have some rice but not be ricers. For instance, a Toyota Supra with 20gs in engine mods that is capable of a low 10 1/4 with an aluminum wing or aftermarket body kit is not a ricer. If anything, the kit/spoiler is a compliment to the car itself.

OK ricer hmm there are so many break downs nupainted body kits or multi-colored kits.

step and twist exhaust( if u wanna take it step on tail pipe and twist)

Alluminum wings is a given.

vinyl adds horsepower

I dont think ricer is a car or car style as much as it is a attitude. Anyone can act like a ricer at a given time the ricer fly-by is the dumbest thing tho. . . . For those who dont know ricer fly by cathc a light with a civic with a hoopty pipe and a sh*thead behind the wheel so u blow him off take it up to the speed limit and leave him behind all of a sudden he flys by u at excessive speeds and throwsthe flashers on as if he won something those who even dare throw the flashers are a ricer.

I understand what you are getting at, but at the same time you don't see too many F1 cars cruising the strip on Friday trying to look cool. Not that cruisin' is what it's all about, but you get my drift. There's function, and there's fashion...... and any combo in between.

Alluminum wings on a FWD car is RICE a FWD car does not need a wing like that what are they going to do with all of that downforce. It will just take some weight off of the drive wheels.

Indy use VERY small displacement V8s. Saw a Chevy Indy car at the 50th anniversary Corvette convention in Nashville, I cant recall the exact displacement but i was 3.somethin liters. pushin OVER 600 horses. And lemme tell ya that was a SMALL car to have over 600 hp!!!!

WRicerX
05-06-2005, 12:30 AM
As far as Indy cars go....some used V6s (Toyota). Heavily turbo charged. I saw some displays down at Indy. But any more, I guess it's mostly V8s. Regulations and so forth.

F1 has always been the pinnacle of technology, I guess that things really have gotten to the point where they need to slow things down a bit. So....more regulations..

To me rice is any Japanese import or even sport compact that any kid buys to try and show it off whether it be speed or looks, no matter how fast it is or how stock appearing it is. From Supras and Skylines to Civics and Sentras, theyre all rice to me. Call me ignorant or what you will, but this import and sport compact shit has got to stop now. All these loser kids running around in 2300 pound tin cans thinking their fast, when in reality their motors make 200hp but the cars are so shitty and light it doesnt take much to move them. And I wont even get started on the appearance aspect.

Your gay GTP is hardly muscle.
To elaborate upon that,
Strict Definition of a Muscle Car:

A muscle car, by the strictest definition, is an intermediate sized, performance oriented model, powered by a large V8 engine, at an affordable price. Most of these models were based on "regular" production vehicles. These vehicles are generally not considered muscle cars, even when equipped with large V8s. If there was a high performance version available, it gets the credit, and not the vehicle that it was based on.

Now when you post time slips elsewhere, everyone's going to be like "who's RedSS#1"?

I just sold my '98 GTP shortly after I got my SS/SC. I already miss it. Those times are very believable as I know a guy at a place I do work for with a pulley, ecu, and cai that runs mid to high 13's. I never did anything more than a K&N filter, myself (not exactly a mod, doesn't make any difference by itself either), but I know the stock air box is extremely restrictive and the blower only pushes 8 psi max. Pontiac was more concerned with keeping the engine and exhaust quiet, than turning the horses loose. The handling totally sucks, especially compared to a Cobalt SS, but I do have much respect for that V6.

So Talk crap all you want about it. Call it rice or what the whole point of tuning is to make a car what YOU want it to be, and not care what other people think about it. This is not a copition to see if a mussle car can beat a ricer. Hell, what it really comes down to is who had the most amount of cash to throw down on thier car, and how much PSI of boost you think you can really fit into a 2 Liter engine till you throw a rod through the side of your car. This conculdes my little rant of the evening. (Gotta love working the off shifts)

I like carbon fiber too, I want a carbon hood with a functional extractor, to get rid of a lot of the heat comin from the blower. And I absolutely LOVE the air dam from Gravana!!!

I have a functional heat extractor on the hood of my GTP, it really works well!! When driving , even hard driving my temp never goes over 165-170. I will post some picks of it later, its pretty sweet looking.

I would never waste my money on one of those clunkers. Why are GTP losers hanging out on a Cobalt SS forum anyway? I see who's really jealous. I never hang on any GTP forums because I have ZERO respect for them. Do GTP's even have a forum?

Ok do not bash the GTP's untill you have driven one thay have alot of balls for a 3.8 supercharged and i give the GTP's some seriuse respect. I have driven one and all i got to say WOW. :)

O and this is a public site so they can do as they please. And they have both provide us will some good knowledge about superchargers. Expecailly MYGTP8U <---- sorry if i messed that up. :) And i would like to say thanks to them both.

Well put 87CamaroPA, and MY GTP 8 U knows alot more about superchargers than I do. I just appreciate American sports cars and am trying to learn as much about the Cobalt as I can before I get mine!!

I hope your joking and yes I drove one! MY GTP 8 U, car is running what 14.48 and it's not stock! That would be slow for a car that has 3.8 liters and a supercharge! I had a bone stock WRX wagon that ran 14.3 and think that's slow!

But anyway if were going to bash the GTP start a new thread RED :rolleyes:

AWD>FWD when it comes to launches. I bet they trapped around the same stock, you can just get off the line alot better. 14.3 aint bad for a bone stock WRX wagon! My cars strength is mid range and lower highway speeds, and yours is off the line. I cant see my intake and plugs giving me more than .3 total, so with the same 2.12 60' it would probably run a 14.7 or so. Remember, your WRX is a bit lighter too, so you got a slight advantage there, as well as being stick. As I said, I have my strengths and weaknesses as do you in your WRX. And yes, 14's is slow nowadays ;) I dont think my car is that quick or anything. Should get 13's once I get those other mods on, and then I'll be done. Its a year round daily driver, I'm trying to make durability and gas mileage my main concerns with speed being the low priority. Its fun enough for me!!

REDSS, just keep digging yourself a deeper hole of disrespect, because thats what youre doing. Go look through some of my posts and youll see I have offered a great deal of technical help to these guys. I'm here because a friend was thinking about getting an SS, so I wanted to check out the forums and see what these cars were all about. I was originally just gonna lurk a bit, but I posted here and there and thought it would be cool to help some of these guys out.
And if theres MANY regional GP forums, all of which are a chapter of the main forum/club at www.clubgp.com . My local chapter is UNYCGP or Upstate New York Club Grand Prix. So yes, there are forums and there are alot of them. Do your homework before you ask such a retarded question.

87CamaroPA, youre welcome. Glad I could be of help and I look forward to helping you guys out even more. I may not be a sport compact guy, but I cant say I wouldnt mind seeing the Cobalt becoming a serious contender against the Civics and other crap running around!
