Heh... I think the most fun I've ever had with a ricer was not with anything American but with a whole convoy of old VWs... I'd sold my '84 GTI, bone stock except for a TT exhaust and pretty beat looking, to a guy up in Maryland, and at the same time I'd bought an '84 Scirocco. The guy that bought the GTI shows up at my place to do the deal in a pretty nice looking 16V Scirocco, we exchange a small amount of cash, convoy up to his place. He's leading, my girlfriend is in the GTI behind him, and I'm following in my "new" Scirocco. So we end up at a red light, all lined up in the right lane, and some kid in a riced out Civic complete with the big wing, loads of stickers, Folger's can exhaust, etc. pulls up in the left lane. He spots the guy's (bright red) 16V and starts revving his engine, you know what happens next, the 16V just waxes the floor with him. I'm laughing my butt off when I hear the girlie drop a gear and gun it, wouldn't you know, my old GTI still got 'er done. So I don't want to lose them, I punch it in the old 8V Scirocco, and *I PASS HIM TOO.*
Poor ricer, he not only got waxed by a 16V, but a beater GTI and a beater Skyrocket with rattle canned 13" wheels. We were all laughing our asses off when we got to his shop...
