I agree we should set something straight, but I don't think you did.

A "Ricer" is not defined by the type car, rather what gets done to it. You say Supras, RX-7s and Skylines are not ricers, but, re-watch The Fast and The Furious (first 2 movies)....the red RX and the orange Supra in the 1st movie are ricers. The silver Skyline in the 2nd movie is a ricer. They just happen to have the HP to keep up with things like Camaros and Corvettes (and a really tuned Charger apparently ).

The current Honda Civic Si is a quick car. It isn't going to keep up with a real sports car or a muscle car, but it is quick and handles well. However, if it's kept stock, I don't really think it counts as a ricer. Just a decent, quick little car from the factory.

Also, if you want to get technical, that VW Passat that someone was talking about before....that shouldn't really be a ricer....I know it will get lumped in their, but ricers, at least where the term originally came from, meant Japanese.
