I live in NY. In the summertime you see the full range of cars. But in the winter, all you see is riceburners. all the same, the little things people do to imports, while they are cheap, don't amount to 15 horsepower (real world, according to them a billet oil cap adds 50 HP). They have to add a big turbo and a weedwacker exhaust to make it keep with a stock stang. These things alone cost 5 or 6 grand. never mind all the other things they need to add to make it run right. Every ricer claims to be a 12 second car, but the only true 12 second ricers are usually talon's and eclipse's. then you add tons of money, and the civics break in. by that time, if you had dumped this money into a mustang, you'd be in the 8's.
