Purpose built Ford Chevy or Mopar motors dominate the dragstrips all the time. As a matter of fact, if that Scion went up against an American car in its class at a sanctioned drag racing venue, it would be destroyed.

Did you know that the Toyota Solaris has been used a lot in those funny cars you mentioned? I suppose that's rice as well?

A ricer is a car with a Napoleonic complex. A ricer can also be described as a jock rider of said vehicles and their manufacturers.
