I take it you were referring to the 1/8 mile?

Punk kids? I kind of take offense to that considering I'm only 20. I can only imagine what people say about me when they hear my car come rumbling by open headers, primer grey hood and slicks on the back.

A while back a riced out something or another (small japanese car) pulled up next to me at a light.

HIM: So you wanna race?

ME: Are you sure you want to race me?

HIM (Looks at the car for a few seconds): Not really.

Shane,

You shouldn't take offence, we all know you DO know what your talking about when it comes to cars. NO BS 10s , Duh or 11. You know what it will do to the T when its yours.

The wife and I were sitting at a light last summer on a warm summer night - tops out, minding our own when a riced out CRX buzzed up beside us and blipped the fart pedal. The wife looked over at him and said "Oh, please...you can't be serious." He looked like someone just kicked him in the jimmies. Gotta love that woman. Never at a loss for words.

bence13_33, ain't NOBODY gonna think yer a 'punk' in THAT Corvette! :thumbs: In a related story, I used to race every Saturday night at an out-of-state 1/8-mile strip. On the way home, we always towed past a place where MANY people street-raced. You can't IMAGINE the 'looks' we got, with a '79 Z28 with a dial-in of '8.12' on the windows, being trailered thru the scene! Even WORSE, a buddy had a '67 Buick Wildcat (4000+ pounds!) that ran 7.70s in the 1/8 on his trailer, too!!! :lol: :lolg: :)

He He He! I remember when one got next to me and started making all that racket and at the same time being belligerent. I just said OK, and gunned the throttle a few times. Well, he was so psyched up that he took off with the pedal on the floor... I just left at normal speed. I guess I should mention that I had just come from that direction on the way to the convenience store and was going home. Yup our finest was sitting just up ahead... He got nailed. :lol:

Acting bad is bad enough, but don't get belligerent.

I laughed all the way home.

Later,

Matt

"Son, you have the right to remain a ricer. Anything rice you spew can and will be held against you."

I get that all time time. Haha. I remember these guys who asked me if my 79 was a stingray and then the guy said to his friend "Man, i bet that vette has 700 horsepower, those things are nuts"

Schmucker

Yeah, I had some 80's Honda/Toyota or whatever that was all riced out rev at me at a stop light. I was through the intersection before he even crossed the stop line. Poor kid was owned by my slow Corvette. It's even worse when my Crown Vic waxes a ricer. I mean come on, that thing runs 18 second quarter miles and they can't even beat it.

When I first got my car, I took the cat back off of it to take the spare tire out and such. Decided not to put it back on. Well, the car barely idled and it had basicly an open exhaust on it. I was sitting at a light and a ricer came up and asked what I did to it. The car was BARELY idleing, maybe 300rpm. Was rocking from side to side like I had a fully built motor and it just sounded mean. Anyway, I told him it was stock, he got a shocked look on his face, and wouldn't even pull ahead of me from the stop light on. lol

There is a big difference between "kids" and "punk kids". The punks usually don't have the HP to back up their yappin'... :p:

SCVetteGuy

And those punks even if they do have some horsepower there front wheel drive rice rockets don't know what the heck torque is!! Gotta hate those ricers. Being 17, I'm a kid, but I ain't no punk!!! :cool:

Whos the guy on the forum that said
"ricers are like tampons...all the fingers need em.."
love that quote. :reddevil

You guys kill me. It's funny. I'm the biggest puss. I just want to be left alone. I have a decent engine in my car, and it's way faster than it used to be. But I'm afraid I'll stumble upon that one little a-hole who maxed out daddy's Visa at the speed shop, and can actually break into the 12's with his Civic or Neon or whatever. And I'll not only get beat (spinning my tires the whole way), but I'll also get whacked by the local speed ***** for racing.

When the fart cans approach me at the light, I don't even look their way. I just turn up the Journey or Styx (I know, sad) or whatever the hell is on my radio and pretend not to hear them.

I'd be the same way if I was running nitro, and had 1700hp at the rear wheels. :lol:
