LOL. I guess it depends on where you're from. "Poser" sounds a little too hick for my tastes.

Ricer has been the classification that I grew up with in the 70's and 80's, so it's the norm in my book. It's not my fault that 90% of the idiots that create these monstrosities drive Japanese cars. The shoe fits, and it will be worn.

FWIW, the definition goes far beyond performance. A ricer is a car with light blue latex paint, and a ground effects kit made from rain gutters purchased at Home Depot. A ricer is a car with light up valve stem caps. A ricer is a car with magnetic decals platered all over it, it no particular pattern. A ricer is a car with a rear wing that resembles a picnic basket handle. A ricer is a collection of random items affixed to it, that serve absolutely no purpose whatsoever. A ricer is a vehicle with 4 sets of taillights. A ricer is a car with a coffee can for an exhaust pipe that sounds an awful lot like a mouse farting infront of a small box fan. A ricer is a car that's weight is doubled thanks to a half dozen gallons of bondo. A ricer is a car whos owner has gone to great lengths to try and fool people into thinking it's a race car, but the driver is clueless, and his mods are the likes of half a dozen fake scoops in locations where real ones would never be.

Take care,

These are but a few of the definitions of a ricer.
