Ricers, in my book, are, but not limited to the sport compacts with all the body kit stuff, wings, neons, etc (basically fast and furious cars)......... Just because it is rice doesnt necessarily make it bad..... i have respect for the people that actually care about performance and make their cars fast........ The kind of ricers I dont like is where they spend all their money on the looks and nothing on the performance...... i have that respect for the supra..... Granted, it doesnt take a whole lot to make those little cars go fast, but 430hp in one of those little cars (or in any car) is almost insane..... insanely fast that is...... :D

Maybe I just have a different definition than you guys do....... :rolleyes

I would consider the Z cars rice too....... I like them (not because their nissan), but they are still rice, IMO......

yeah you deff have a different definition of rice:pface ...my definition of rice is long and complicated, lets just say rice= bad, or cheap, crappy looking, flashy but slow....or something along those lines, deff a different definition.....

i got the new super street:oface ...and on page 106 it has an article on HKS Racing's 1,455 HP supra!!!!!!!!dayum thats a bad *** car.....of course its a drag car only, it ran a 7.277 sec 1/4 with only 1,164 hp out of the 1,455hp the engine is capable of producing..i kindof quoted that out of the mag just to let everyone know

Dang....... I thought my 278 on my Qship was impressive....... I would be scared half to death driving a little car like that with even 500hp...... I wouldnt be getting too pedal happy with that......

I can tell you one thing, Id be the youngest Q owner there!!!


the 94q i bought a month or two ago has only 112k on its and a few nice rips in the leather:(. and its gonna stay like that because in 2 months im gonna become a poor college student

Have YOU ridden in a Supra before, by any chance?

Probably not, if you had you'd realize this was THE MOST comfortable and spacious of the last batch of japanese supercars.

I've owned both the last gen RX7's and Supra. I STILL have the Supra and drive it on a daily basis. Nuff' said.


Have YOU ridden in a Q before?:D Cause if so you would have seen how spacious and comfortable it is

you have a pretty broad definition of the "ricer" term. It's like calling a cadillac a fried-chicken-mobile.

It is a racist connection similar to calling import cars "rice" or their drivers "ricers". it has become accepted to use the word ricer and all that, but I still find it offensive. most of the time I tolerate it, but your definition is way too broad to ignore.

I got $20 on the Fried Chicken machine. This thread has gotten WAY too strange.

You guys don't pick on Wes, he's got some studying to do... He'll catch up in due time.

Back on topic: How long do you guys think it'll take us to get big enough to make FA irrelevant? Six months? A year?

Last month we had 14 million hits... Boo YAH!
