what's wrong with you guys? really, i thought we just went over this whole "rice" thing. everyone's saying, "it's an attitude", "rice is all show, no go", "appearing to be fast when your not". which are all true. but now a Mustang that has gone through a transformation from a sloppy V-6 to a car that can run mid 12's is rice because it's cosmetic mods are not of your taste? grow up. that car is not rice, not only does it turn heads, but it can flat out move. Stang_Crazy, 12.6 isn't fast enough for you? that car weighs quite a bit thanks to the interior mods, and because it's got a different front bumper, tall wing and clear tailights it's rice? you're kidding me right? the car is fast, plain and simple. so it's not in your tast, so what, then don't own one that looks like it. what's wrong oth the color? mystic was an option color for '96 Cobras and no one complains about that. the flames are whole lot more tasteful than the gawdy King Cobra paint jobs on the Cobras in the late 70's that were butt-slow and looked worse.

all i see is a guy that did a great job on turning his car from a slow V-6 to a fast V-8 that turns heads. so you don't like some of the cosmetic stuff, so what. i don't see rice, i see an enthusiast.
