RE: I HATE RICERS!!!!!!!!!
I don't like ricers either but like said above street racing is VERY dangerous and too often it is the inocent that is hurt or killed.
With that said, DO NOT underestimate how fast those 4 cylenders can be made to go with very few bolt on options.

RE: I HATE RICERS!!!!!!!!!
I was coming back home today after a trip to San Antonio in my 03 Mach, and was maintaining a constant legal speed of 70 MPH in the next to the far left lane on I-10. Anyway, a ricer in a cheap chevrolet something with a fart can out the back came around me rapidly, then revved down to let me hear his fart can. I just smiled. My wife said, "WTF was that all about?" I assured her that it was just a kid with stickers and things, but no power like you are sitting in. 
So, it's not just Japanese built cars that are riced out.

Hrrrmmm, do you guys consider European cars to be "imports"? I mean, they are imported, they just aren't slow, stupid, plastic pieces of junk.

If you read enough reports, you will quiclkly see that Japanese and European cars are built better, perform better, have less break-down time, and last longer than American built cars. However, you might want to check into just how many American cars are actually running American built only parts. You will be shocked to realize that there are very few truly Amierican built cars today. Sure, I have all Fords in my driveway, but that is because they are cheaper than the overseas counterparts. But there is a reason for that. They just aren't built as well. I have owned BMW's, Mercedes and Honda's and Toyotas. I still like my rattle trap Mustangs though.

people like them because they are cheap, and get good mileage, and they are highly customizable. now granted, about 98% of all ricers have a stock engine, and 100% of all ricers think they are the shiznit.

I'm stilll waiting to hear how a 16 year-old built (and keeps from wrecking) a 400 hp small block...

I'm 20, and I'd be surprised if I didnt wreck that car by now. All young people think they know everything and are the badest on the planet, me included, but I realize this so I think it gives me an upper hand
. I am just waiting for life to smack my young a$$ into reality

Best in what way Atom? Best bang for the buck, or from a performance standpoint?
