67's right, ricers are a joke. I'm 19, so I unfortunately am "friends" with alot of rice burners, and I find it pretty disgusting. 4 of my friends are really into it, which means they get all of the graphics, wings, ground effects, and coffe can mufflers, you know all the stuff from Pep Boys that really makes their cars go faster. Since I just bought a new TA, they are always trying to get me to race. So I accepted, and showed up in my moms 1999 Astro Van. We have a stretch of road that is about a 1/4 mile we always race on, and what do ya know, the Astro beat the living crap out of 3 of the 4 ricers. I have never been so proud to be an American. The one who beat me was a turbocharged Eclipse, who then wanted to run with the TA, so again I accepted and my 355 Chevy (dammit) powered '80 TA with 2.56 rearend slaughtered him. He quit by about 150 feet. I am losing alot of respect for my peers, it's cool they are into cars, but they aren't into the right ones if you want to go fast. American muscle is the only way to go.
Just my thoughts, Alex
