Post Ricer Terminology

Here are some translations of common rice racer sayings. (I know it does not apply to all Japanese cars. SupraTT, 300zTT, NSX, and RX-7 are exempt)

It is highly modified = It has a K&N filter, Plug Wires, and a 5" Exhaust tip.

It is almost race only or barely streetable = above plus cat-back, custom wheels, and a wing.

It is a 5.0 killer = It once beat a stock 85 GT 5.0 automatic convertible with 2.73 gears and 175,000 miles.

That Mustang was scared to race me = I revved at him while we were at a light with a cop right behind us.

I outran the cops = The police car ignored me because my car is so slow that he could not tell that I was trying to race.
