I'm so tired of all this ricer BS. I went shopping with my wife tonight and as usual I dumped her for the magazine rack. I was looking over the car mags and saw Tuner Rice or something, anyway, it had a Dodge Viper and one of the new ricethings (Evo?) on the cover. Well the mag goes on to tell how a "mildly" warmed over ricer beat this 90K Viper. I started reading between the lines and noticed several things. The ricer was more than "warmed over" it was tuned for handling with all sorts of mods, the other thing is that the test was done at Willow Springs, if you've ever run there you know that it is a very twisty track that is not kind to high horsepower cars. So basically all the cards were placed in the ricer's corner, and then they brag about how they could probably beat the Viper with the stock ricer. In the mean time all the idiot driver could complain about was how the Viper was too hard to drive. What a bunch of ricer propaganda! All I could think of was what an old friend of mine once said.
"Slow cars always handle".
