OK, here's a modded (Geiger Motors of Germany) Mustang GT520 -- 520HP and a little ricey, but gotta give 'em A for effort. It's 5.2L (lightly stroked and beefed 4.6L) supercharged GT 3V.

 

:shift:

 

I give them an "A" for effort, as there aren't a lot of US cars available over there.

But...

That looks too much like a rice-wagon for me.

but good to see US cars going to Germany... ;)

Agreed. Now, let's analyze:

Raise the front air-dam by about 4-6 inches so you can park it.

Drop the rear spoiler by, well hell, just drop it entirely, 'cause it's just plain fugly.

Don't take out the back seat to add 100+ lbs. of stereo BS.

Damn, might just be easier to buy a GT500!

Hell, according to the Ford commercial, we can send them to Germany anyway!

Rent of copy of Fast and Furious. It refers to modified Jap cars. Usually they have a big wing on the trunk, a low front end, and "fart cans" on the back that make a really annoying sound.

As Uncle Ben once said.....

 

"Anyone for rice?"

Thanks, Doc. I've been meaning to congratulate you on your car.

 

Congrats! :cheerleader:

 

I'd love some pics: oesterreichb@ecu.edu

 

I've got zero issues with those who choose to "rice" it up.

 

Do your thing, baby. Just don't rev on me unless you got the balls to back it up! :hysterical:

 

One of my students came out to the faculty parking lot when I had my Mach1.

 

He started talking about how much Nos he was "shooting" in his Prelude, yada, yada, yada.

 

I told him he might be faster than me. But I didn't care. There's always someone faster than you.

 

Then I told him - it's not just how fast you go - it's how you go fast.

 

If I wanted to strap myself on a Hoover that ran 9's - I would.

 

I don't - and won't.

 

Let's Rumble! :shift:

 

 

edit: Perhaps the analogy is Harleys vs Crotch Rockets. Harley guys don't care how fast the Rockets are. They want the whole experience.

Ok, guys. Pardon my ignorance. I keep seeing the terms "ricer", "ricey", "rice-mobile" etc. on this site. I think I know what this means, but could anyone here give me a definition of the term? :shrug:

 

I posted this before, but here it is again. Not my definition, I just found it on the web.

 

(Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt)A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder - Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747 - Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself - Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire- Clear tail lights and corner signals- A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case. The "ricer" attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or color, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles.Honda Civics with big spoilers and 4" exhaust tips are considered to be ricers.
