New Ricer Fad: Is it safe?

95mustanggt · 02-14-2002, 02:20 PM

Well I saw something new today.

I saw a white Honda Prelude (a newer body style) that was all riced out. He had a bid sticker on the window that said:

VTEC .

Here are some points I noticed about this guy.

1. The window stick was literaly 1/3rd the size of the front windshield!

2. It was placed on the BOTTOM 1/3rd of the window!

3. He seemed very proud of his VTEC prelude, until I pulled up beside him.

A friend of mine just bought a brand new honda accord. It was a 5 speed. He let me drive it and good lord was it slow. He said it was a v-tec but he could have been just saying that. It would pull a little bit at high rpm but nothing down low. I'm not sure how a ricer can get into one of these and think that it is a race car. I told him that my mustang is much faster. He says that I owe it to him to let him drive it. Maybe I can turn his preference away from hondas. I don't think he's ever driven a mustang.

he's just trying to avoid seeing the mustang that just passed him.........

visablity is expendable when you got a phat ride like that

i see the same for the back windows and even side windows. why put the sticker there in the first place? it's only going to get you in a race with a better car, and it will turn heads.....heads of Police anyway. not only do you have to pay to buy the sticker and pay to have it put on, but then you have to pay for the fine for restriction of vision then possibly pay to have it removed . sounds like a great investment.........

oh oh i forgot about the only upside, i guess it helps because it gives you about 50hp.
