I can't help it.. Every time I'm in front at a red light and I see a ricer, I gotta race.. Though, I let them start off ahead of me just to blow by them. My Z28 has had a few things done to it (no forced induction), but it doesn't matter much. I haven't seen a ricer that I can't completely blow by within 1-2 seconds.
I love it when the contest ends before it finishes.. I have Borla catback and it's a fvcking loud exhaust. I was at a 3-lane intersection once with a ricer civic to the left of me (sounded like it had a supercharger) and a ghetto ricer nissan something (sounded like it had engine problems) to the right of me. They were both revving and revving and revving.. so I figured it was my time to chime in. I revved it up to 5000rpm (much louder.. AND DEEPER). Neither car took off at the red light.. it was as if they were saying 'after you.'
They can gloat in their gas mileage.. but I'll gladly pay a few extra $$$ for my gas for the pleasure I get out of each tank.
