How is putting nitrous on a car modifying it? To be in a modified car class. And no I have never taken my car to a import show, I have never owned anything but a chevy my entire life so I am not a ricer.

Lets racap what you are saying, you have a stock car but you do motor work into it and that is a modified car. Explain that to me. Or if I was to take my car and take the v6 out and put a ss stock v8 in it then I would deserve to win a modified car class. But if you are talking about horse power and speed a new 10+ v6 stock will crush any stock pre 2010 v8 that is a na car.
I'll take a stab at explaining it to you. Modifying to ME is mainly about performance upgrades and apparently you have done none. That's why people say you are winning ricer shows, because you have only done ricer mods - "mods" that have no performance value.

I think there are 3 types of shows:
1. Vintage shows that appreciate a vintage type car in immaculate condition
2. Performance type shows that appreciate performance work
3. Ricer type shows that appreciate interiors, stickers, neon lights, stereos, video monitors and giant stonking rear spoilers.
