A ride in the ricer

[nitrousboy]

i do not know about you guys but nothing will ever come close to my mustang. the car is just cool in every way.

My buddy had an Eclipse that was making 430hp at the crank, but he also blew up 3 engines
the eclips is a DSM to start with if any has ever tryed to work on one they would understand that they SUCK. as long as they are not making boost there ok but other then that they SUCK. the crank can only hold 400hp he proble blew so many motors beacuse he was pushing the crank to its limits and then some

i have smashed on so many ricers at school that i don't i do not remember half of them and from what i was told some were bult. one for sure had a bottle and it was full and hookeed up .

so as you can tell i fuel my car regularlyat the local ricer meeting area {chineas resturant}

OK, this one'll probibly get things stirred up, but what the heck....
Revs post got me thinking, and it occured to me that the whole "tuner/domestic" debate (at least as far as pure acceleration, and "ricers" arent even factored into this,LOL) comes down to a matter of practicality vs. idealism.
The domestic big-block kind of guy thinks in terms of displacement, torque, simplicity, reliability. Lots of history to fall back on.
IMHO the real "tuners" have decided to "make more out of less" , which complicates matters, but the goal can be reached. And you have to give props to 4 cyls making big hp, but it is a lot more complicated, and a lot of those motors weren't designed for that. Some may make huge numbers and be great daily drivers, but most aren't. For the guys that are able to make it happen, much respect.
Either way, we're all shooting for the same thing, i.e. fast cars (as opposed to the ricers "car that looks fast" )

Just my .02
