In my neck of the woods, I'd say there's a balanced proportion of muscle to tuner, and an equally unhealthy proportion of ricers. But mostly, there are more ricers in the past decade because they shut down the only strip on the island (but there are plans for a new track).
In defense of the import enthusiasts, they DO know how to make their car better and faster in a practical way. Unfortunately, imports have gotten so damn hyped-up with movies like F&F, that almost any fool with money would want to make their car LOOK or SOUND fast or "DUB," what, with 24s, spinners, and coffee can exhausts. It's just the fad. It'll pass. I'm sure there'll be ricers in the future where people try to make their on-road only car LOOK like it can fly with portable fans on each fender and a flux capacitor in the backseat. There are ricers and then there are real gearheads. No matter what preference they have, 8-cyl., 4-cyl., 4 wheels, 2, wheels, AWD, FWD, off-road, on-road. To each his own. But come on, their are d***heads and posers in any popular culture, so what can we do?
