Well, all I have to say is that I have a bunch of friends that are Ricers--so naturally when I bought my 2001 mustang--everyone had to have a crack at me. I am so sick and tired of ppl making cracks at my mustang--when I could beat any of them in a race...and have many times LoL. I dont understand what the big deal is w/ ricers...alls I know is that I bought the car for myself, it is not bought by my mommy and daddy like a lot of ppl where I live. Had to vent.

my freinds are the same with their dads or moms buying them a "fuel economy" honda civic or maybe a toyota carolla or some other P.O.S ricer. I roll up in my 86 5.0 GT which i bought MYSELF and they make fun of me. Stupid people i guess. Just dont feel bad just keep working on your car and ignore the ignorant A**Holes

A girl i was dating had just broken up with some ricer in a car club and him and his ricer friends constantly gave me s**t after I bought my 03 GT. I think there was a few guys that could even take a stock Mustang GT. My girl's ex ran like a 14.89 or something in his civic. It was just annoying to hear the fartmobile coming up to where me and the girl worked all the time. What made the car even worse is that I hated the kid haha. It was so loud and was flat black and constantly broke down. He was at some car show and was trying to show off in the burn out pit and burnt his clutch and had no money to fix it haha. Oh yea the best part is he has a Honda tattoo

I don't understand ricers either. I drive a Honda Accord as a daily driver and a 01 Gt for the hell of it. I know what v-8's are capable of. My friend's 03 Cobra was just tuned at 470 RWHP with about 500lbs of torque... I have dyno sheets to prove this and he's wooping everybody's ass. I mean everybody's a$$.. From ZO6's to Vipers, Supras and the list goes on and on. My other friend has a supercharged 02 Gt. About 370 to the wheel with the Steeda Tune. He has fun with all the chevy's. I just started on my stang and do plan to make it fast, but those damn ricers have no freakin idea of the power that we can create. Man just rev your engine at them and take their asses to the track. Then we'll see who's going to be laughing. I got your back.

Although none of my friends are ricers, none of them bought their own car....Everyone of my friends have had their cars given to them by their parents/grandparents... I have bought everyone of my cars myself 93 taurus, 80 Z28, 90 Eclipse, 01 GT...And I pay all my insurance myself too.
I have fun with them..they see me as an ole fart in a 'stang..they'll ask my time I say why?..when all you see is taillights...you'll hear there stories I raced a 10 sec and only loss my 5 cars*L* so when I do tell'em I say ah about a 13 sec and proceded to put 20 cars on the..you won't here they even raced me..I picked up my son @ school had about 30 guys looking at it just from hearing it...*L*

Well i can relate to VFast. Whenever im at a light and the guy next to me starts revin' it cause he's sees a lil blonde.. driving what sounds like a kick ass V8 66 stang. HOWEVER, my car is only a V6 with a kick butt set of headers and straight back dual exhasut.. I'm all bark and no bite at the moment. (soon to change). So whenever that nasty lil ricer gives me the eye.. i just ignore him.. Cause ya know.. IM tOO COOL to race rice!

I agree with you all in the aspects of "SOME" ricers being a-holes..but thats not the always the case... hell, im the proud owner a 94' Honda Del Sel and and 86' GT and I love the hell out of them.... nobody really gives me any prob. around where I live because I could smoke almost anyone in either of my cars. I do hate those people though that are like.. hahaha...why a mustang? im just like whatever... so im just saying not all ricers are bitches... Im living proof of that :) ....

There is a difference between an import and a ricer. It's just that most ricers drive imports. Ricer mentality is characterized by certain appearance mods (bad body kits, fart cans, stickers, big wings, ugly unmatching paint jobs, etc.) Although some of these may be subjective and look ok on certain cars, certain combinations of them will generally qualify them as RICE. They are usually all show and no go. I just laugh at them, sometimes I'll rev at them to see if they're actually fast or actually dumb enough to race me.

I'm the proud owner of a 92 GT convertible. When all my neighbors turned 16, they bought cars. All ricers. They make fun of me and my car, calling it a "redneck" car. I can't stand it. So one day, driving down the local interstate next to my friend's 99 eclipse, I dropped it to fourth and let him eat my dust. He eventually caught up and we tried it again. This time, i stayed in fifth, and he went to third. Once again, he was left looking at my taillights. Now, they leave my car alone.

Damn right they look good on other cars... i have multiple stickers.. A) Car club rear windshield decal and website strip. B) Girlie girl Racing.. (even though i don't race its a cute decal) C) Bumper sticker on windshield "Who's Next" and D) "Heart Breakin' '66" on the front wondshield. But you have to admit there are some really sexy ricers out there.. thats what my club is.. SEXY ASS RICERS

I didn't know that you were a female. Sorry for calling you "man." I think that a girl driving a v-8 is bad a$$ girl! -> "I like it alot" As for blackhorse, I agree! I'm 22 and just bought my 01 lazer red Gt and also paid off my daily driver accord. I also pay for the insurance of both cars.. Arm and a freakin' leg! But it's worth it. All these other "momma" boys around here get their ricers from their parents.
Girl, they can make all the fun that they want, just kick their a$$ on the street and flick them when you won! Works for me.

i think its funny how a mustang is characterized as a redneck car by ricers. its ignorance. im not gonna say they're jealous, they're just ignorant. cars like theirs are invented for low insurance and fuel economy, yet they drive it like some formula 1 car. who cares. they're the ones gonna die from some idiot ass freak accident from racing everything that they pull up next to.
