The ricer kids around here think their cars are the fastest thing on wheels too. I always see them hanging around in the local parking lots with their hoods open and gawking at each others engines.
The difference between us and them is the fact that we built our cars ourselves and they had a shop do it for them.
I doubt very seriously that the average teen can completely tear down an import engine and rebuilt it....let alone the fact they even understand the workings of one.
I built my '82 with ricers in mind...which BTW, will officially hit the streets tomorrow morning!!!!!!!!!
