Not true. I have seen plenty of Neons, Cavaliers (both new and old ones), mustangs, saturns, etc that have been "riced" out.

 

[Rufio]

i would gladly be labeled a ricer if i had that car.

Don't ever post a thread relating to cars, foreign or domestic, ever again.

What's the reason for all those weird stripes?

No. To me ricer has always implied the modifying of lower end automobiles to enhance either their appearance or performance (sadly, often the former in lieu of the latter). The SLR is a beautifully engineered machine that I believe is an example of what ricers try to emulate.

If it's not one already, it'll be modded into one soon.

nevermind

For that kind of cash, I'd take an '03 Viper RT/10 and a nice house.

I like how the spoiler pops out only if it is needed... neva thought of that one.

Porsche implemented that years ago.

LOL, talk about crappy drive train.

 

[Syringer]

Ricer = all show, no go

This thing HAS lots and lots of GO.

 

[styrafoam]

It is called dazzle painting. It is used to confuse the U-boats so they cannot tell which direction the ship (in this case car ) is traveling and will have a mordifficult time torpedoing you.

 

[loosliptcomptrola]

Definately, not rice.

 

[Ranger X]

If that's a ricer, that's one expensive ricer. Not too many people can afford a 350k car ... let alone mod it.

AUTOMATIC?!

i'll pass. ain't dropping $350k for an auto (don't care how good the pc in the hood is).

appearently you haven't seen any Benzs around lately... mostly Automatics, and I am sure from now on, they won't be building stick cars...

for the car, it's such a beauty... gotta love german engineering... it's brilliant...

downside: that's a lot of money... for that money, i would get both a ferrari and lambo..
