Ok this was first experience with a true ricer. This FORD Escort was kinda beat up, yellow, black hood, really crappy wheels, and just looked overall bad. He drove passed me and reved up. I kinda just chuckled and kept driving normal. I cruise though downtown and see him again and this time he stares me down and hits the gas. I could hear the BOV as he passed [&:] I got annoyed so I eventually got in front and punched it. He follows me until we hit a clear open two lane street. He slows down to get next to me and punches it again....his exhaust had white **** coming out....smelled nasty. [:'(] So he again lines up with me and I look over and drop it into second and punch it and left him standing there. I wasn't going to race him, but he was damn persistant. Oh well, just wanted to tell the story of my first real ricer experience.

Have you ran the GT yet? My buddy had two of them with full bolt-ons and could only muster a 9.7 in the 1/8.

No not yet I plan to very soon. I want to be in the low 14's on street tires. I want to get some runs in before I do the PI swap in the Spring. ON the street I've been able to keep up with 99+ gt's and beat a WRX, SRT-4, and actually beat a LT1(only 1/2 car-length).

Doesn't surprise me in the least. Most people don't give a crap about their Escorts, but a lot do.

Not too many are real quick though, the fastest one ran an 11.72 but kept snapping axles, so he's converting it to RWD.

Mostly they sit in the 13-14 second range with built motors.
