What do ricers call us?
 

Just wondering...

Well, we know they're ricers, but what do they call us guys with the muscle cars?

Hmmmm you have a point there. Yeah I wonder what they do call us....faster... thats for sure LOL

GODS! :D

Cool

While they may argue some of the names we think of, the one undeniable answer was already given:

FASTER

Take care,

i'm always to far ahead to hear what there saying! :D :D

i hang out on wed night and about a month ago a few camaros and an eclipse showed up and we had a race set up so we went out and 2 camaro's raced then we set up a race with the eclipse and a stock 88gt first thing the eclipse driver said was " is that the slowest car here" we told him it was only car that was stock enough that he had a chance with. needless to say my friend spun off the line but caught up quickly.

Good ol' ricers. Aslong as they accept we're faster then them I have nothing agaist them. :D Well that is to say if they don't cover there car with false stickers and talk trash.

THose are some interesting answers, but I wonder if they even have a name for us at all? Probably something lame. Maybe I should go to a ricer msgboard and piss them off so they can call me that name (whatever it is) :D. Naaaah, I won't do that. Not worth the hassle and I'm not usually one to stir up trouble. I'm a goody goody. :)

they must have a name for us. or maybe they are just to busy trying to figure out how we go so fast with out stickers and giant wings

well they call me "prey":(

*in Jackie Gleason voice* "But one a these days, one a these days":D

My friend never calls me anything but he calls my car a "Pusstang" (pussy, mustang..yeah...lame) I then start laughign at him because he drives a Grand Am (no offense to anyone). lol Does that help?

Next time he says that, ask him if that's because it eats up and spits out pussies like his Pontiac.

or

smile and tell him you are what you eat.

Take care,

Heh, heh. Well, guess they got a lot of lame names for us. Oh well.

Not starting anything...
 

First off, let me say I'm not trolling here, I'm an old school car guy that just happens to currently have an RX-7, and I have always been impressed by muscle cars. I don't consider myself Rice by any means, and look down upon that style with disdain and disgust. My personal feeling is that most of the import and sport compact guys could learn a LOT from muscle car guys because otherwise they're just re-inventing the wheel. </soapbox> But, you guys asked the question, so here goes:

Slostang (you have to admit, there are some slow ones among you)
Rustang (apparently derived from the late '70s when all American cars rotted out in 2 years)
Crapstang (simply childish if you ask me, a slur should have some true meaning, this is the equivalent of a 4 year old calling you a "doody head")
Old School (even I take offense at this, you'd think they'd want to learn from those that went first)

Peace

SuperchargedRex why don't you take you little piece of crap RX-7 and get outa here, before I whoop up on you with my four banger LX:mad: . LOL j/k, with ya, welcome to the board:D :D :D

I will be the first to admit that not all imports are rice and that not all domestics are fast.(but a lot of them are:D).

BTW as for the competition there is Camarslow, Slowmaro, and Firechicken

Thanks for the welcome
 

My RX-7 isn't mind numbing fast, but its quick enough for me, and I like its handling. I hate it when ricers tell me I should put 18" wheels on it and lower it 2 inches, and then I should get a big @$$ wing for it. I hate that crap!!! Back when I was in high school, I had a '75 Nova. Imagine the tormenting I got from the kids in Spanish class that translated it into "No Go". Arrgghh!!! Talk about bad nicknames, I was screwed by the factory.

I have rode in a rx-7 once. There pretty fast if their done right. I wouldnt have a problem owning one at all. I like the way the look factory. Maybe a set of racey(not 18's or some dumba$$ thing like that) looking wheels with a good set of z-rated tires and tinted windows. I like them much more than a Supra. So Welcome Rex, hope you hang around.

Brad

BTW I think they should call us "Smart"

I just don't get the whole rotary thing. Kind of embarassing considering where I am in my life! After the first time I saw a crank out of a rotary engine, I just stopped trying to understand them. Looked like it had been in a giant rock polishing turner drum thingy for weeks. I'm not big on diesels, either, but at least I understand them. Well, kinda. I must admit that the idea of using high compression to fire a cylinder instead of a spark plug seems risky, but hey, it works!

Anyway, welcome!!! I hope you stick around!

Take care,

Less'se?

My cars have been called mudstain before

Rotary engines are pretty easy actually. You have a triangle spinning inside an oval. (You guys should have the oval concept down :D ) There are 3 combustion chambers, one on each face of the triangle.

Then you just have two of them back to back, rotating 180 degrees out of sync.

i cant here what they say when they are chasing me...

I've had people call my mustangs:
rustang
cumstain (that's a gross one)
dumb-estic (that's a ricer favorite)

Usually they'll stop their laughing when you ask them to race and they make a cop out story, and they're usually the ones who don't know much about cars in the first place.

On a related story, i had a ricer ask me in an impudent voice (when i was minding my own darn business while filling up at a gas station), "so how many miles per gallon you get....10! HAHAHA, fun for racing but not fun for driving". So i then corrected him and said, "actually i AVERAGE about 20 miles per gallon and have gotten up to 24, and yes it is a fun car to drive and insurance isn't any worse than your car". He didn't have much to say after that.
This is a good topic Fox Body,

Thats very true, most of them I have talked to didn't seem to know what they were talking about. After all, if they knew what they were doing, wouldn't they get a stang;)

SuperchargedRex - great info on the rotary! I still don't quite understand, but I'm getting a better idea. :D

As for the topic, I have heard most of the usual ones above. But, ever since the F&F movie, it seems like every import driver thinks I have "NOSS" on my Stang...yeah, low 13's @ 106 and I'm running a 250 shot of "NOSS." And then when I tell them it's just a stock 302 bottom end N/A they think the N/A is some sort of new supercharger. :D

Take it easy guys,

If you want to learn more, check out Rotary Engine Illustrated Hope you guys don't find me overbearing, I just like to educate about the rotary. It has its good and bad points, but I'm not one of those crazed lunatics that thinks anything other than their car is crap. Also, I will never refer to it as "nauss", it will always be Nitrous.

Aaah so now all the names come out. I just about forgot them all and some I've never heard. Man do I feel sorry for the real import racers who have to deal with ricers messing up their image. I mean, think about it, we know that every once in a while we'll see a riced out stang or chevy, but not nearly as often as an import. If ricers come over to the domestic crowd in the same magnitude as the import crowd, I'm not sure I could handle that... :D

LOL, that is so true 84LX89GT.

Oh and concerning you SuperchargedRex, how bout you hang around here a little more often. You seem like a cool guy and that car you have is really nice. It's refreshing to have a few real import racers around here.

Wanna know how they work?
 

Don't understand the turney and go engines? check out http://www.howstuffworks.com/rotary-engine.htm

*In my best ricer voice* "DA BOMB YO!"

At least, that's what they SHOULD call us!:D ;) :p

I've heard us Muscle car enthusists as bieng reffered to as "Old Schoolers" before on several occasions.

I dont mind the name. I wonder what they would call my 64 1/2 though. Once they try to run it, I'm sure they wont be calling it slow.

they dont have time to think of what to call us they are too busy trying to figure out how to go faster(which will never happen!)

Speaking of riced-out american stuff, what does everyone think of the new concept of the "G-machine" that all the magazines like carcraft, popular hotrodding and hotrod are running articles on. You know, the cars that are lowered and have 18" wheels and low profile tires? Some turn out good, but I've also seen some that make me want to puke. 18" Boyds on a 69 camaro is like seeing your grampa in a Chicago Bulls jersey w/ saggy pants and a 4' wallet chain wearing his hat w/ the bill side-ways. :rolleyes:

Seeing anybody dressed like that makes me want to puke, but I get your point. I completely agree. I think rims that are larger than 17" look ridiculous on anything, with the possible exception of some trucks, and then only with large tires. The low profile "bicycle tire" look works for me about as well as 13" white-walls on spoked rims on older Impala's.

Different strokes...

well, i must say that while there are alot, i mean, ALOT of ricers on the road. there are a small percentage of guys that actually have fast imports. there's a guy in town with a really nice silver RX-7 who has had his stretched story or 2, but still has a really fast car. and i've only seen ONE Supra in my area. all the others in the majority are as follows (from most to least);

Civics - with mostly the usual odd colored headlights, big spoilers, fart pipes, and bright paint schemes. and we can't forget the 9575739 watt sound system and the 17" chrome rims (which look offensive on a Civic)

Preludes - mostly ok looking except for the occassional body kit, but most of these guys are somewhat respectful.

others like little Mazdas and Eclipses and Talons are pretty much what's in. and there are an increasing number of riced TRUCKS on the road which is extremely disturbing.

but all the good competition on the road is always the domestics. LS1 SS Comaros (2 of these around), a WS6 Firebird, and plenty of loud, pretty stangs which is really cool. the only drawback about the stang drivers is that most of them are jerks who don't respect their mustang brothers like i wish they would. i actually got a thumbs up passing a late-model CAMARO this summer. and therte's always the rare case of domestic rice, which usually is eye-trash. ok it's always eye-trash.

the only name i usually hear for us domestic drivers is the reference to being "rednecks", wich is kinda lame.

Hey, I like those quotes. Remind me of Deep Thoughts, by Jack Handey. :D

lol that's what they are. so don't tell anyone, it just between you and me.......and...everyone....else all over the......country.

oh well i guess it was obvious. i love those things though, they crack me up.

The only name I hear them call me is "DADDY":D

They call us "Domestics". Which kills me 'cause my car may be made in USA but it is by far Domestic :D
