If the mustang gets an I4 in 2015. Will it be considered rice?

Guess those Fox Bodies with the 4 cylinders in the 80s and early 90s must have been big time rice then, huh?

Lmao. But what makes a car rice is it because an import or it's engine size or sound of exhaust?

shad2009

my guess would be import, exhaust, neon lights, an inch from the ground...etc etc lol

I feel like being rice is more than the engine inside. Take the Pontiac Solstice for example, I don't think anybody would call that car rice, yet it had a turbo'd 4.

More than anything I think the important part is more so that the car is styled like an American car. Honestly rice as a definition sorta changes around depending on who you ask. Honestly I think a 4 would be sweet in the new mustang if it's a nice and light car. Turbo it and you're going to have one fun as hell ride.

No car is rice from the factory. Rice-ness is achieved by adding ugly/poorly fitting/etc non-performance pieces onto a car that was never meant to be anything more then a grocery getter.

But yeah. I would burn down a Ford factory if they made 4 cylinder mustangs again.

^ yep what he said.

Ricer is more of mentality as well. But yes, I've seen riced out mustangs. Cheap mods, done poorly a lot of aesthetic things that are supposed to be for performance but don't really help. I also believe mods to make your car sound like it has something that it doesnt is ricer. Such as the new ghost cam tunes.
