From SentraDriven on the Ricer forum...
Everyone who whines about how rice can't beat a fast car believe me it can. I even have links and videos and proof
of civics beating corvettes and even vipers.
Such silliness. A Honda can be modified so as to beat a Vette/Viper BUT...
1) It will be a one trick pony. FWD suspension set up for drag racing will allow it to be slaughtered in a roadcourse race.
2) Reliablity will drop dramatically. Figure 1 season survival if lucky without rebuild
3) Interior will be sacraficed & it will be very loud and annoying sounding -no fun to drive anywhere but on a dragstrip
4) It will cost as much as a Vette or probably more to operate with its massive depreciation & frequent rebuilds.
5) It will never look, sound, feel as cool and it will not elevate your social status now matter how many Vipers you beat. You will remembered as "the punk with the fast ricemobile"
PS, a moped could be modified to go faster than a Viper too.
