Ricer or not? - Page 2

*Mindz* · 09-28-2009, 03:00 PM

It's rice if it doesn't have performance mods. You can't tell unless you see one driving down the road, or it's poorly done.

This person actually cares at least about the appearance of his/her car. If it doesn't have go fast mods to match the go-fast appearance, then it is indeed rice.

But for now, there's not enough information to make a decision.

I voted "Rice", but as with some of the others, it is borderline.
At least it appears to be well thought out and executed. Me
personally? I wouldn't be caught dead or passed-out drunk in it.

Rice.

Although if he's done performance mods, his rice factor may diminish slightly.

he's probably putting down near 300whp on the stock m62 and i voted not rice cause i like the paint and its not a wire mesh grille it's a billet grille i love the paint of his car but i myself am not a body kit kinda person but there was some good time put into the motor and body so it's not rice

*Mindz* · 09-28-2009, 07:33 PM

can you run 12 second or faster in that car?

If not, then he has bolt ons and is considered rice. Go fast for an import is at least 12.99 seconds at the very slowest.

(my car's faster then 13.5 but i'm using a "friend" of mine as an example)

i just go by my own definition...but the car posted above I would not call rice

coolman · 09-28-2009, 08:06 PM

Without more details on mods I can't say for sure. The bodywork looks well done. So, if the motor has upgrades too then I would say not. Too me ricers are want a be's of a car like this.
