Ah, gotta love ricers!
 
So I race this grand am. He's got dual tips on each side and a Grand Am sticker across the top of his rear window, as if we didnt know what piece of wood he drives.

First time, I test him a bit, let him get in front of me by half a length, then reel him in. Just before I redline 3rd, I've pulled half a car, and shut it down hard. Figured I took him for a walk and we're done.

But no.
He does a ricer blowby.
And then flashes his 4ways.

:nono: big mistake

Next light, we're even through most of first, I gain a bit, spin hard on the 1 -2 shift so he gets back even with me, but then it's over. I start putting distance on him, nail 3rd and it just gets uglier.

I throw on my four ways, and slow down. The guy makes a quick right so he doesn't have to line up for another run. Which is good, because my leash isn't long enough to reach that far back.

:spank:

StealthZ 04-14-2007 01:51 AM

alright.

SuprAdam 04-14-2007 10:58 AM

I don't know what is worse, the ricer or the fact that you "raced" him.

AMKK 04-14-2007 05:15 PM

It was even through first? WTF?!

Viperoni 04-14-2007 06:37 PM

first race was more or less from a roll, I was eyeballing the car, he juiced it halfway through second, I hit it too, then like I said, I reeled him in, pulled ahead, shut down, and he did a blowby and put on his 4 ways.

2nd race was from a dig, pretty much even through first and the start of second because I can't put the power down.
I have shitty all seasons which came with a set of rims I picked up.
My 185 winters grip harder than these, and these are 205's lol

drift_n_shift 04-14-2007 06:50 PM

what car do you have?

Ponyryd 04-14-2007 07:20 PM

^Yeah, I assumed the Grand Am was giving a Viper a good run.................

Viperoni 04-14-2007 08:01 PM

lol I drive a saturn wagon.

lowbalt 04-14-2007 08:06 PM

AlexG 04-14-2007 08:08 PM

ahahahahayhahahahahahahahaxhahahhahahahahahahahaah ahahahahah

Viperoni 04-14-2007 08:51 PM

If the guy wouldnt have flashed his 4 ways, I wouldn't have wasted my gas on him again. Anybody hit up Cayuga yet?

StealthZ 04-14-2007 09:18 PM

LMAO, you're in a saturn wagon. Even if he did flash his 4 ways, was it really worth it? I mean you coulda been booked by cops, and end up spending a year or two in jail, for something as stupid as that.

Viperoni 04-15-2007 10:24 AM

I also run a 15.5 on the strip ;)

I don't quite think I would have gone to jail though.

judgez24 04-15-2007 11:53 AM

I thought it said atleast a year of jail time for 1st offence in the new street racing law. I could be wrong though...:dunno:

Viperoni 04-15-2007 03:08 PM

CANOE -- CNEWS - Canada: Ont., government bill proposes stiffer penalties for street racers

"The legislation, which increases fines for street racers up to $10,000 - making it the highest penalty in Canada - and allows police to automatically seize their cars for up to a week"

No jail time in Ontario, anyhow.


Uch, the shitbox is up on stands, isnt it? :P

Ponyryd 04-15-2007 03:41 PM

So, you have a Saturn and he has a Pontiac, but he's a ricer???:dunno: And you also think he's stupid for trying to race you?, why, you're both in 15-16 second cars at best, so why are you complaining about him?

Anti-Rice 04-15-2007 03:59 PM

I think a fair race would be your saturn wagon against my topaz...

Let me know when your heading up to cayuga, if I'm ready I'll head up with you

-Mike

judgez24 04-15-2007 04:04 PM

uh his wagon is actually pretty cool for what it is, a potential sleeper if he lets me help him.

rudy my car drove onto the trailor, off of it, and into storage last year. itll be a repeat to bring it hom in a week. i have no first gear, thats my problem right now, tbu aside from that the car is mobile and i can drive it :D

its last year it sat on jack stands, lol

I know it is a different platform and it seems to work, and actually my car and his should be a good run.

Rudy, spray that piece of tupperware

Viperoni 04-15-2007 05:51 PM

Lowbalt, those are some stiff sentences. Thanks for posting that.

PonyRyd, his car is high 16's at best, my wagon's not in the same shape as it was last year. I only raced him a second time because he did a ricer blowby and put on his 4 ways acting like he won.

Mike, NA for NA you and me would be a pretty cool race actually, you got the power, but don't have the tire for it with those Proxes 4's that you had last year ;)
I dont wanna get addicted to the bottle, that's probably why I've never sprayed anything yet :P

Uch, it's got some potential, but my wallet doesnt haha. I just wanna crack the 14's this year and do some roadcourse and autocrossing. Have some fun with the thing :)
And launching in 2nd should keep your wheelspin down ;)

Mean98Neon 04-15-2007 10:28 PM

u live in brampton... is ur saturn wagon dark blue or black with tints and steelies???????

Viperoni 04-15-2007 10:41 PM

Neither, it's gold.

Mean98Neon 04-15-2007 10:46 PM

so is it an SL wagon???? if so WTF do u have done to that thing to run a 15.5, cus I work at Saturn and we have abunch of those on our used lot and those things are so gawd damn slow its unbelievable......

Viperoni 04-16-2007 12:12 AM

Wagon's were SW's, sedans SL's and coupe SC's. 1 or 2 in any of the names stands for SOHC and DOHC, respectively. Mine's an SW2.

The important thing is that it have the DOHC engine, and a manual (preferably one that was paired with a DOHC originally, shorter gear ratios than a SOHC paired manual). Rare to see a wagon with a DOHC/5sp; mine's an auto->manual conversion.

Otherwise, all I have is an intake, bored TB, good tires, and a little bit of experience launching it, which makes all the difference :)

haha yeah right man, 15 psi eats my rs2's through third gear and theyre a 225 wide tire, imagine what 20 pound will do. launching in second will only add to the wheel spin, lol

Mean98Neon 04-16-2007 03:39 PM

those DOHC's are rated 125 HP ... hitting 15.5 is pretty good!!

judgez24 04-16-2007 05:15 PM

yeah its a qiuck little car for what it is. he uses it to turn more than to drag but with my help i can help him hit 14's or better ;)

Viperoni 04-16-2007 06:11 PM

The thing with saturns, is because they bodys are plastic, they're light. The average saturn is only 2450lbs.

Uch, stay out of the boost, im sure you could handle a 2nd gear launch nicely with a little bit of clutch slippage :)

judgez24 04-17-2007 12:39 AM

hah naw man my clutch is too grabby for that . my best bet is a first gear launch with the boost controller turned off and then once i hit third gear reactivate it and hope for the best, lol.

trust me, launching my car is a little bit trickier than launching your car, lol

Haha, as I recall, last time we both ran 15's :la:

judgez24 04-17-2007 09:29 AM

yeah because i i just coasted after a terrible launch, i did put what, 10 mph on your run shifting low and slow, lol

Viperoni 04-17-2007 11:56 PM

something like that :P
