ye, he had a single exhaust. he drove past me again and had some sorry *** halo lights and a black hood. i'll try to find a pic of the hood.. couldn't find one so i drew one. went something like this

 

cowl hood...

 

Well... Cowl induction does work... but some are WAY to massive...

 

Cowl induction hoods are used for two things.

1) Making room in the engine bay for something that doesn't physically fit under the hood. A blower is a good example. It's done all the time

2) Engine cooling. It works on pressure differences, not a ram air effect.


However, I'm going to say dude just put it on for looks, so yeah. Just figured I'd point out that cowl hoods actually do have uses. Personally, I plan on rocking my heat extraction hood for as long as it will physically fit over the engine

 

ah okay^.. sounded like it was an auto anyway

 

Again, I'm 98% sure it doesn't apply to the riced-out stang you posted, but auto stangs actually have a lot going for them. Unlike imports, companies actually make products to make domestic automatics fast; shift kits, flash tunes that change the shift points and pressure, high-stall torque converters, etc. Most of the 9- and 10-second mustangs you see are automatics, and I have yet to see anything faster than a 9-second mustang running a 5- or 6-speed.

Again, doesn't apply to that particular car, but figured I'd throw it out there anyway.

 

ok bringing this thread back from the dead. come on people there got to be more ricey cars out there. snap some quick shots of them. now that im going to get my HTC EVO really soon i will take lots more pics when i see them. though i don't drive as much but will still seek them out.

you guys have not seen a flying car till you see this. check it out. i was driving by this car and had to u turn around to take a second look and grab a shot of it white i am at it.

 

he got a special bogo (buy one get one free) lmao

 

I'm just curious as to what everyone thinks the definition of "ricer" is? Far as I have always thought, it is when loads of money has been spent on all these accessories to make a car "look" fast, when it really is not - like mine for instance. I can say that because I bought it that way - I wasn't going to pass up the price for the car just because the previous owner was a ricer. People can call me that all they want - it's not going to stay that way.

On that note, ricer, IMO, is also a state of mind. But seriously - some of these pics are definitely ricers, some are obviously done to be funny as I laughed quite hard at some of them.

What is the problem with modding a car out so long as it has the power and speed to back it up? I mean, it almost seems like either it has to be a sleeper or stock, or it gets no respect? I mean I know these are just opinions but this attitude seems to be gaining steam as a stereotype and I was just curious as to why?

 

pics only, no debate
