Thought this about ricers was funny



<< ? And the Number One reason you might be a ricer if... (drum roll)....you are a skinny, backwards hat wearing, dog chain wallet, 2 ft wide pants leg, Limp Bizkit looking i love you with a badly applied peroxide hair color treatment! >>


Dang...that guy's really angry :Q
 


<< Your engine makes twice as much horsepower as torque. >>



This is, of course, impossible. 😉

Torque = HP * 5252 / RPM.

This doesn't mean anything. Just felt like doing some algebra 😉

Torque = HP * 5252 / RPM
Torque = 2 * Torque * (5252 / RPM)
1 = 2 * 5252 / RPM
RPM = 10504
 
Uh.. is it just me, or are most of those points incredibly stupid? :Q

Huh. Yeah. But your maximum torque is always going to be your maximum horsepower at 5252rpm. Of course engine torque can be lower than horsepower. lol..

It's not you.
What's wrong with:


<< If you think that 280 horsepower and 185 lb/ft of torque are impressive for a ?mildly? modified engine. >>

? Am I a ricer if I'd like a motor like that in my car?
 


<< You have a FRONT wing. >>

Cars like vintage Shelby Mustangs and 240z's have front wings... they're under the bumper. What's wrong with adding more down-force to a car whose performance will profit from it? 😕

LOL. I would love to print this then go to my Schools parking lot and leave copies on offending cars.

Point being?

So what? What's wrong with wanting a more powerful engine in your car? lol.. There aren't very many cars that have 400hp engines in them on the road.

Just think of the lowly volkswagen bug. 1600cc of 36hp lovin, stock. Would I be a ricer if I put a 110HP Porsche 914 engine in my Bug? I don't think so. lol

Did you even read my point? For crying out loud i'm on YOUR SIDE, morons.
 
You add a super tall rear wing, and a hundred pounds of aftermarket ground effects, yet you gut the interior and yank out the rear seat for weight savings.

ROLFMAO! So true!!!
 
I did. After I posted.. calm down, sheesh.. I wasn't flaming you. 🙂 just making a point..
 
I like. Funny.
My only complaint is


<< Your rear wing AND your rear window have a third mount brake light... >>


I dunno about other years, but I have an '02 Civic with the factory spoiler and it has a brake light, along with the one in the rear window.
