I'm doing a school project on street racing and the effects it has on people. I need to know some technology stuff, and if you guys could give me a couple links that would be appreciated.... it's mainly gonna be on the damn ricers, but thats what the teacher wants, i know you guys probably are gonna ask why im at a dakota site, but i know some of you have a honda that gets good gas mileage.

I don't own a ricer, but I have outrun every ricer that I ever raced, except one. The one thing I can tell you is that most poeple spend too much money on their cars, and all they're trying to do is make them run like a V-8. They need to give it up and buy a real sports car.

    Trust me, I know they try to be like the V8's, when I bring my Dak out on Friday or Saturday night, I can't pay people to race me....they tell me to take out 4 plugs so its fair... and my baby is bone stock (for the time being). Hondas are like tampons, every |>ussy has one... I just need some info on stupid sh!t to please my teacher.... damn them all. Thanks for the info... and long live the 5.2.

    It's all physics vs. dollars.

    One of the first times I took my truck to the track I kept staging up against this nicely prepared Volkswagen Golf with the v-6 he was turning 14.5's all night. You find fewer posers at the drags, once you sift through the guys who brought out their stock cavaliers and sunfires figuring they ought to run low 15's with a few pounds of body boltons and some undercar neon.

    No shame in loosing to a car with a better HP:LB ratio though.

    Ricers deserve a lot more credit than people give them. Most people who bitch about them haven't met REAL racers, they've met kids that have a civic with a flowmaster and call themselves racers. I've seen an integra outrun a cobra, and NUMEROUS z28's get spanked. So, what good does getting poor gas mileage and spending twice as much on a "real sports car" do you when you are still looking at the rear end of a car half your weight and half your engine?

    Sorry to burst like that, I'm still getting a dakota in June like planned, I just got to shcool with a LOT of asians and see the cars every damn day, and a MAJORITY of the people who bitch about them really don't understand that there are a LOT of really really fast ones out there that do in fact know a lot about cars.

    Someday I hope this goddamn debate is settled...what will it take, a del sol to beat a vette? I hope that happens soon..

    ran a 10.5, my brothers super charged
    tacoma ran 9.3's consistent. almost every car
    that was half decent was a stang or muscle
    car, but hell, some of the civics were in the
    high 9's.

    give credit where credit is due. not everyone
    wants to be like a v-8, most people mod what
    they got, and enjoy it, have fun, there is always
    gonna be someone faster, uglier, and spends
    way more money on his car than you.

    Mine goes 9.5/75mph with 3.21 gear and a 2.35(no traction) 60' time. I only use 1st and 2nd gear!

    Just keep on racing.

    It's a plague.

    There's a high school physics teacher on here who once talked about how he watches way too many kids now waste all their money and time on their cars instead of focusing on school, that was an interesting discussion -- might be able to find it in the search on this forum.

    theufo, that's pretty funny that you commented on his spelling, but you used "they're" instead of "their" -- nice work.

    I've yet to see an "Asian" driving one of those rice racers. Mostly it's city kids, and they are mostly equipped with just stickers, spoilers, and fartpipes.

    Most "Asians" I know prefer either German or American cars.

    Ya think they know something the "ricer" crowd doesn't (such as showing a little "class")?

    People... PEOPLE! Lets try and broaden our minds a little shall we. There are probably more Caucasian Americans driving Rice/Import Tuner cars than Asian Americans driving same. Bigotry is unflattering on anyone.

    It is easier to REACT.

    ppl PPL, relax. i'm not racist, i just think every person belongs in the're own country.
    I'm in my country, im a redneck, usa is for rednecks. asians belong in rice fields or at the least in our country, but as sewer cleaners. Its a sad fact that asians have slanted eyes, which when you think about it, they cannot cope with our sunrays bouncing of the asphalt when driving and have to wear beanor sunglasses. now honestly ppl, do you want that sort of rectlessness on our highways.

    as president I will campaign for deporting all asians back to the 3-gorge dam area. in hopes that the dam will break and destroy them all. ARRRRGGGG yes destroy!

    have you shot an asian today?

    got lead?

    one last thing, my ppl came over hundreds of years ago and battled for this country. then the chinks come over and and start going to college and start going out with our women and ...etc.

    F#ck them! think about it, we had a war in Korea, Vietnam, WW2...and you expect us to just open arms love the snot out of them! f@ck that, and you know i'm right but are to afraid to admit it.

    last year i was in Japan of all places on business for a week. you would not believe how much propaganda they're is directed to the US. I'm not joking they hate us, but over they're they don't hide it like you cowards.

    you bastards think we should all hug trees and get along. f$ck that, we are animals and fighting is what we do. and asians are our enemy. China will be the next place we will most likely war with (if you ever watch the news). what do you think will happen then!!! it will be then ok for you to dislike them again, but right now its not pc for you to think that way because you are all a bunch of yes-men!!!!!

    i bet you all suck your boss's....

    Most of the comments you just made were racist and if you were here you would already have your ass kicked so bad...BUT, you aren't so I'll continue in a mature manner :)

    Well anyways, at my school, I would estimate at least 75% of the asians drive them (I'm in college, they are all the age where they have decent jobs and thus cash to spend). The ones that wanna have "class" have any car but most of the youngs ones do. Also, a LOT of arabs have them as well. And a lot of hispanics, then at the bottom of the list it's white guys and black guys, but even still theres quite a few of them. I'm in houston, very diverse city, if you wanna see rice come to U of H main one day :D

    I was being nice but you apparently ARE as stupid as you first appeared to be. First of all, CHINA is not asian you stupid F*ck, nor is JAPAN, and whether or not you like what you see in their country does not reflect on the ones that are HEAR. I bet you are one of the many jackasses that were mean to arabs right after 9-11 too weren't you? One of those people who see one person do something bad and balme the entire race.

    Since you seem to like to point out history maybe you will like this. Without ENGLAND, we wouldn't be the country we are today. England established the original colonies and how did we react? We rebelled, killed their soldiers, disobeyed, and went off on our own. So by YOUR ignorant opinion, england should just come over here and kick our asses now right? They should also all hate us more than anything. Oh, but I guess that's different since YOU are the one on the end of the hating right?

    3. the way you guys are talking it sounds like you are all of the minority, in which case you should leave this country.

    4. beat my ass, beat my ass f#ck you, i'll give you my address punk and you can take your asian ass over here, jus don't pack like all your hommies to.

    Well ProOnThaSnow - maybe you can report that a thread about street racing has a profound effect on people's emotions. Especially when it wanders off topic and turns into a thread about racism.

    Now back to street racing - street racing used to be about quick cars, performance and deserted stretches of back roads and hiways. Now it's about big wings, fart cans, neon, stickers and gathering as many kids along the side of the road for the show as you can get.

    I liked it better in the old days.......
