Racing such people/cars is dangerous. Whose to say their "mods" won't end up killing you, them and some innocent bystander when another car pulls out on the, track, and the ricers can't break in time thanks to the destroyed suspension and overweight rims?

exactly

Hey don't lump in GTI's with Civics thanks. I have a lot of respect for them because I owned 2 heavily modded ones.

I honestly haven't have any stupid ricers try me or do any ricer flyby's since I got this car. This car, with the right exhaust, just commands respect I think. I usually only get thumbs up or compliments from people.

Mustangs, 15-20 year-old Trans Ams and Camaros.
I am in red-neck country after all.

I held onto my ranger knife, cause I was scared..

I rolled down the window and the mexican guy looked at my car and said it was nice..but he also said, "You shhhould getta Mushhtang ese! Don't drive this girly car holmes." Long story short, we all raced. Of course mine was stock, yet I still won -.- any of this ever happen to you? Pesky pesky ricers..

When I lived down just across from the border, it was ALL about the mustang, especially the 5.0's.

Ignore is the best bet. Listen politely (don't roll your eyes!), then move on with your life.

I would take the "you should have gotten a..." from someone driving a ZR1/Z06, GT-R, etc., but I doubt drivers of those cars would even say anything like that. They'll probably remark, "nice ride", and move on with their lives.

It's justification for driving the cars they do that make people talk like that to complete strangers.

you should have had a us boarder patrol shirt on lol

nogoodname · 11-04-2010, 07:29 AM

You could of changed lanes really fast for an exit and I doubt they would be able to follow.....lol.

destinyZ · 11-04-2010, 07:54 AM

this thread is awsome. I havent had any trouble just compliments. No one really wants to mess with me, they know better.

ProfessorDave · 11-04-2010, 08:21 AM

What? You can rice a Mustang?!? Who would do such a thing? I thought there was a rule that you are not allowed to rice out a muscle car.

OP, I don't blame you for being polite with a group of them pursuing you like that. One on one, "girly car" is fightin' words!

LOL, first time I ever heard American cars called Ricers

forget it man, they were just douchebags.

LuckyJinx · 11-04-2010, 08:24 AM

It is annoying though, hotheads who think they're better because they think they know what they're doing. They got chrome on everything, lambo doors...

destinyZ · 11-04-2010, 08:38 AM

with it all. ricestang, douchstang... failstang...sad little ppl

USMCASA · 11-04-2010, 08:41 AM

they were just haters, probably illegals and it was all they could afford and thought 'stangs are pimp... FAIL.

Footloose301 · 11-04-2010, 09:21 AM

A coworker of mine just traded in his V6 Mustang... trust me, they can be completely riced out. Complete with the chrome rear lights. I hate those IMHO, worst mistake Subaru did with the STI, but thats for another day.

Long story short, I've gotten nothing but compliments on my Z's. A few here and there that'll weave between traffic to get a glimpse of the car and/or who is driving it and then rev and move on. This car does earn a lot of respect from people of all ages. At a stop light and older guy put down his window in his minivan and began to look over my car and then compliment it and talk about how he used to have a few older Datsuns.

I would almost go as far as saying this "rice" usually kept to front wheel drive cars, but perhaps I'm just bias towards RWD and AWD. Kinda sad when a RWD car is "riced" out.

USMCASA · 11-04-2010, 09:45 AM

i had a old dude, probably in his 70s checking out my car. at first i thought he was gonna say something about damn young ppl and their fast little cars but he then told me he had an original 1970 240z the same color. guess not all old ppl have bad taste in cars like buicks
