Exactly. And I've seen plenty of Caviler/Cobalt and Focus cars that have been 'riced'.

You can fact check any of this if you want.

Just F.Y.I., that Lambo with the so called "cargo carrier" is Jon Olssons from Sweden. He is a professional Extreme Skier and the rack on the roof is for his equipment. He actually drives that thing all year round, all around Europe and to the slopes.

Pretty bad a$$!

A was built by a buddy of mine who also installed the exhaust, sounds insane!

Thanks for clearing the ricer deal up. I do understand the type of cars ya'll are talking about. The big usless spoilers and fart mufflers. But the whole only buying American thing is kinda out dated. Get over it.

for the most part, when we mean ricer, we men those crappy civics and jap crap like that.
There are certain cars that have/get respect, definitly the Supra, Skylines, Sylvia S15s, Evos, WRX STIs
There are Supras out that can kill Lambos
But then aghain, their are some wicked fast Camaros out there too

Ricers are cars like a 1993 Honda Accord with a double-wing, hubcap spinners, sanded paintjob, drilled bumpers, 6amp-600watt sound system, and an exhaust that makes it sound like a boat.

in my opionion, GT-Rs, Skylines and Evos are awesome cars.
I used to own an Acura Type-R, absolutely loved it. One of my favorite cars that I have ever owned.

The Camaro just happens to be an amazing car as well.

Some of my favorite racing is WRC. Simply because those guys are some of the best drivers in the world. Same thing for F1 and Indy Car.
But I am an American Muscle fan and will always be one. Anything less 8 cylinders is not worth my time. Yes the Camaro is made in Canada but the company is based in the United States and that is were the profits go. Not over seas. I live in the greatest country in the world, why not support it.
Oh driving a ricer is kinda like bangin a fat chick, it’s cool until a friends sees you!
This video pretty much sums it up.

I owned an evo when I was 18... great car, especially for the price... it wasn't really a balls to the walls kinda car in terms of brute force/torque nor was it meant to be, but it definitely did it's own thing, and well. If I tried to take exit ramps in my Camaro like I did with my Evo, I wouldn't be here. Too bad Mitsubishi sucks otherwise, not to mention I'm not a big fan of the evo X, doubt they have many years left before they finally pull out of North America, been talking about it forever.

If anyone has ever watched rally racing, or even Top Gear, you can see an Evo is capable of. I consider myself a CAR enthusiast, not a Camaro enthusiast. That's not to take anything away from the car. I guess my point is that you don't have to down other cars or make "car racist" remarks to make yourself feel better about owning an incredible piece of machinery. Alright, lets see what everyone says about this.
I love rally racing. In my opinion it requires the most driving skill by far. None of this turn left, turn left, turn left, crap. I enjoy road racing also, but NO other form of racing is better than running ur car down a cow path at 90mph then drifting around a hairpin corner 180 feet later

No, it isn't outdated. I prefer putting money into the hand of my countrymen and women, not foreigners.

America already gives huge amounts of foreign aid to countries against my will, I'll put my dollars where I want, thank you very much.
