I've never drag raced it cause i think drag racing is stupid, but i do autocross it and would love to road race it if i found one near atlanta.

But driving down the road, I actually see cars like this all the time. And the drivers of them must love it like that, otherwise they wouldn't do that to their car.
So I just wanted to see what ricers say to make fun of domestic drivers. I thought it would be funny.
Kind of like how homosexual individuals refer to straight people as "breeders". When they call someone a breeder they are doing it in a negative way, just as a straight person might call someone a fag. The first time a gay person called me a breeder i thought it was hilarious, and still do. Not gonna get offended by it though.
So i was just gonna see if i could get some ricers to make fun of me, just to see what kind of material they're working with. I wasn't specifically calling any of you guys ricers. Most ricers are imports but most imports aren't ricers, right? I didn't think there was a "www.ricerforums.com" so i just went to the first import forum i found.

He just wanted to see if a forum comparative to his home board only polar opposite would have the same outlook as that person had said, thus making us riceboys or if we were truly automtive enthusiasts

But, technically, I was more trying to see if there were any articles like that one out there, but with the roles switched. IE, ricers making fun of domestics... for... (fill in the blank)

i dont see the point of bashing this guy, he never said anything about your cars specifically so why should you say stuff about his car? i think you guys are being pretty immature.

I'd love to do some road course stuff.The way I see it... drag racing is for people with lots of power but dont know how to use a steering wheel.
Autocrossing is fun, until little 12 year old kids in go karts go out there and rape your best time of the day and make you and your 300 hp feel like shit.
seems like a road course would be the best of both worlds
i'd love to run that track they have in the Top Gear videos, just to see what kind of times my car would put up against all those other cars.
your dashboards break and your cars cant handle. end of story
and at the last autocross event i went to (which is admittedly way more about handling than about power), the best time of the day went to a LT1 camaro with the ttops off. and the corvettes were doing really well as well, beating most of the miatas, jettas, and WRX's. I was surprised.

Sounds like you've got a great setup for your F-Body. :thumbup: Enjoy it.
If you're for the response of "ricers" - as in the bodykit, fart cannon & aluminum wing crowd - you have come to wrong board.
It is that simple.
HAN does not pander to the "all show, no go" crowd.
Take a look through our model forums and you'll see that the majority of members here are spending their hard-earned on forced induction, suspension and other performance improvements, not on chopper-gun fibreglass bodykits.
