1.) Lacking education or knowledge.

3.) Unaware or uninformed.

With all due respect Hustle, making a blanket statement about cars based on their country of origin IS ignorant. If someone said, "all imports are reliable, but slow", you would not call that ignorant? This is a free country and we can all say/believe what we choose, but that freedom does not exempt us from being ignorant...

Your own statement shown above proves my point. Your classification of imports include Hyundai, Kia, Daewoo, and so forth. Yeah, because those makes are just SO reliable, and ooze quality and reliability lease: Furthermore, I really don't think every member of this site agrees on one single thing. Everyone here has their own opinions and beliefs, and I respect ALL of them in their right to exist (even yours), I just don't think that all of them are accurate.

I have never made any assumptions about ANY car, especially those that I have not driven or owned. Those who do are just asking to look like an ***. I am only saying that people are too quick to judge cars that do not fall within their area of admiration.

When it comes to just performance of the car, where mostly hp and torque are consernd then a straight line is probaly best, but when you want to know the also the performance of the driver in the car then the twisties are better for that.

I should have known that a justified, reasonable response to your ridiculous statement was a waste of time to begin with I see you are incapable of participating in a car based discussion that goes beyond "doh, dumbestics/ricers suck". Next time I'll know to just respond with some kiddie emoticon of some sort.

Dude you should SEE how fast I compose my posts and type I wish I could drive that fast

Anyways I am pretty bored because school does not start up again until Wednesday, so I have time to waste for now You are right though...I don't know why I bother? People are just going to believe what they want to believe, no matter what I say.

Okay, all cars suck then, so no more arguing

Hi, are you retarded, or just misinformed?
Hi, I'm neither. And I'll explain why. Ready?

The side scoops ARE functional (at least on 94-95s that I can say for sure),
Not on the new ones (2002 or whatever that generation is). If you look at them you'll see it's just plastic behind the "scoop."

and the hood scoops can be made functional very easily on the GTs. In order to make the scoop functional, one only needs to remove the honeycomb grille...The ONLY reason it was not done from the factory was to make sure that the car was as silent as possible. A scoop on a hood is not even in the same league as adding a ROOF scoop to a non mid engine vehicle lease:
Yeah. What percentage of owners do you think take the time to cut out the grille? Also, just adding a scoop over a hood doesn't necessarily mean it does anything. It has to be coordinated with an intake or intercooler or something to actually serve a purpose. Otherwise you're just creating more drag. Wow, more drag = slower.


Secondly, isn't rice classified by *most* people as a car that LOOKS fast, and can't back it up?
"Rice" is defined (by me) as "something that looks high performance, but isn't." It doesn't matter if the car is actually fast or not (it just happens that most ricers' cars are not fast anyway, hahaha). For example, a scoop that looks functional but isn't would be rice. I gaurantee you that Civic owners who put non-functional scoops on their cars will be called rice. So, why wouldn't this hold true for Mustangs, too?

Same thing... if you take a 9 second car (which is obviously fast) and put a fake dual exhaust on it, that is still rice, even if the car is still fast. It looks like a high performance mod but it doesn't do anything. Rice.

The 99+ GT with 260 hp stock is capable of high 13 second-low 14 second quarter mile times. How is that rice? I'm sure you'll come up with some witty, anti "dumbestic" answer, but I've made my point.
How "dumbestic" was my answer? lease: Nice try, but I just owned you (except for the 94-95 brake scoop thing, if they're actually functional.)

Yep man, you really "OWNED" me. You succeeded in proving a miniscule point that still doesn't negate the amount of performance you get for under $25K new. A 14 second stocker is certainly rice because it possess a hood that requires aftermarket ram air. I'll still gladly drive a 260hp "ricer".

And yes, it's very rare for people to judge reasonably fast cars as rice. If I had a quarter for every time I heard, "Yah it's ricey, but it can back it up" toward even the ugliest and most hideous of ricers...well, it would buy some poor unfortunate GT a ram air kit
