I hate to say this, but I am a ricer. Of course an SVO is not your typical rice car. I get a big kick out of what some of these kids do to these imports and then try to make people think they are fast.
I have always been a V-8 man, but I also enjoy the SVOs for their handling and uniqueness. If people really wanted to make something with 4-cylinders go fast, they should look at what Ford did in the mid-80's. I really hope these ricers aren't the future of the cruising/racing hobby. If you want a good laugh, just watch The speed channel on Sunday nights at 1030(Hi-rev Tuners), the hosts talk about flared body kits and sound systems, but these cars are so hillarious that I almost want to fall out of bed.
By the way, I have yet to lose to a ricer in my 01' Crown Vic. Of course my strobes and blue lights tend to stop them in their tracks.
