Some people fail to make the distinction between a racer and a ricer.

Racer, parts are purely functional with minimal thought paid to appearance. Whatever truly makes the car faster and is legal in the series will stay.


Ricer, garishness purely for appearances sake. True function is secondary or even non-existant.

The funny part is, a ricer will often make the same excuses a true racer will for his expenditures "But its lighter" "It gives me downforce" etc etc.

That Enzo pic at the beginning of the thread is ultra-tacky, and I would be sickened by the sight of it, were it actually real; thank god no Enzo owner would ever subject his car to that.

The rest of the pics on the hand, the Corvette, the Porsche 911, and the Murceilago, they are all designed with pure function in mind, two of them pure race cars, and the third designed to be a race car thinly veiled in street legal trim.


Balance is the Key. rarasvt@comcast.net
