It's because YOU must be the ricer in that situation.

my daily driver is a 92 toyota camry se v6 with the 3vz-fe and 5spd trans. now, my car isnt fast, but its quick. having read some road tests on the car it does 0-60 in 7.2secs and turns the quarter mile in 15.3-15.15, depending on which auto mag you read. i dont street race or pick races with people, i just drive to and from work dreaming about my rx-7's. i have shaken off many ricers though. most notably was a one in a mid-late 90's v8 thunderbird. i smoked him on the highway because he was riding my bumper while i was traveling at 75mph. i got over to let him pass and he got over behind me and and started riding my bumper again. so i put the trans into third and stomped the gas. he tried to keep up, even getting in the fast lane thinking he was going to pass me. it never happened until i backed off at about 115mph and he did the ricer fly-by with the middle finger up. why do those **** always have to do that ****? oh well. i guess his bulky v8 couldnt keep up with my little 185hp v6, lol

Ricer will always be there to talk **** and think they are cool. everyone at my school has bought a tiburon and they think they are the ****. they even started a club "8 grand underground" o.k. sothey all meet up at barret pkwy \. so one night a go up there becuase they have this spot behinhg some warehouses where they race. so i get there and everybody looks at my car. i have a 84 gskl with exhuast electric fan and a different air cleaner and a Functional scoop that i made out of fiberglass. so i get there and my friend says that some dude will race me. he has a 04 05 tiburon with intake , exhuast and i found out later a 50shot. anyway we lined up and i got alittle spin and he thought he was ahead . then i just left his ***. he wanted to talk after i just said "can't touch the rotary"

he wants power as well as handling, and wants it NA with a corolla and a 4-age. Kind of hard to do, and you have to reinforce the chassis, etc. And he is interested in rotaries
