Why do Ricers do it? vs the L

I dont understand why they want to street race. I'm at a light and hear this 3" coffee can winding up I'm thinking this has got to end now! I roll out of the light about 50% and hear this POS going for it! I give it 100% by the time I hit 60mph I had 6 car lenths on him. What's was the point? I really dont need to prove anything and for it being a kill? No, more like he want to see the L go.

Some people are Just born Stunned. After they get a sh*t kicking in there Coffee Cans enough times maybe they will trade up to a used Lightning.

It like beer muscles
or something ?

These kids and their 4-6 cyl's would have never
even thought about it if it wasn't for TV.
Now they think they got some kind of performance car
or something ?
They really make it hard for the people that truly have
7-11 second imports

I actually took a u-turn last night to double take on one,
it was a lowered with custom multi color paint, bla bla bla,
and a frukking 6" exhuast pipe "YES SIX INCH" I only know that because what made me cut the u-turn was it was a piece of Flu-Pipe that you use to vent boilers in our houses (I sell it at work)

Most think that just by putting a muffler(not even a full system), and lowering it they can take anyone. Oh yeah, and big tach too. I don't even waist my gas on them

As Mr Rayford said earlier this week on the Johnboy and Billy show,

"When your the monky at the top of the pole, The other monkeys are looking at your azz and always trying to slap at it."

WOT

When I first got the Lightning, I was cruishing around in Savannah late one evening and heard what sounded like a coffee can import reving behind me. Without looking I gunned it with the same frustration as you all mention above. Then I looked and a nice blue viper passed me with a wave. I flashed my lights and waved back before I turned off. I was shocked and a lot glad I didn't mess with him.

there's a ricer near me that i just happened to run into all the time at the same gas station. he'll drive up, rev his car to redline, and wait a minute or so till it drops all the way back down to idle. the one time i was there and saw him i revved back rear hard. it was hilarious because he knew i'd slaughter him. the majority of the time they want to race you just to see you fly past them.

i came up on a maxima one time and the passenger was literally hailing me! lol then he pointed forward so i smiled, nailed it, and left him in the background. apparently that pissed off the driver because the passenger was admiring my L. hehe well he tried to run past me by hiding behind the traffic and getting a running start. didn't work. i held him behind me until i got off. moron! hehehe

Don't forget that the big erector set wing on the back adds at least 30 HP and drops 0.5 sec of their quarter mile. You need a wing when you can only go 45mph, right?

If it bothers you why waste your gas on them, risk getting a ticket and giving them an excuse to drive like an @ss doing the *I just got really spanked flyby*.

Haven't you noticed? The only cars with the big erector set wings are front wheel drive. Not sure how that really works, but I guess I should try it out on my beater contour. Might help me fit in at work too.
