Its still classed as a super car and I still see it as a great defeat. Did you see that episode? I think it was either yellow or orange and it spun out after almost being passed, given more time it would have been passed. Now if I could choose which one I would want for free... believe me the V12 would get first pick, buf since I cant afford one and will never be dumb enough to buy one, Ill stick to the 4cyl that is better than the super car.

BTW real racing isnt judged by timeslips, timeslips are only a part of drag racing. Real racing can be between 2 people in a vehicle that are on a track that want to see which one is better. I always try to watch the nascar road races just to see how the good ole boys handle a real track instead of going in circles all day.

Yes it is. It definately IS a street car. The T-Rex that was made by some motorcycle company is also a street legal car, and very quick.

How is it a steet car if it isnt even street legal? Answer that. Cars have to have certain thing these days to be considered street legal. Windsheilds are one, Passing the crash test  is another. This definently didnt pass a crash test. Not to mention it cant be driven daily, it has no roof. That mean you cant use it in the rain or winter. Its really just a toy car and shouldnt be compared to a car that can be driven all year round and put on the road without any crazy paperwork.

Cute video. I love top gear/5th gear.....

BUT as I said, it's on a track specifically designed to accentuate the strengths of the Evo and eliminate those of the Murcielago. Notice theres no appreciable straight aways? Theres a reason for that......

And Im sorry, but the "super car" monicker is BS as theres several cars that are better performers then several "super cars". The Murcielago is one of those cars that is a cool ride, but certainly not beffitting of that name. It may be a "Super Car", but it's far from a super car.

ok, so who's on what side so i know who to sling poo at?

get real, yes there are some crazy small production cars that perform very well, hell you might as well say that a small motercycle can out perform _______.  anyways, this thread was about what's a "ricer" and why most people dislike said "ricers". heck, take this to a real honda/nissan/toyota/subie/etc forum and ask them, they hate "ricers" more than "domestic" guys do.

but trying to make your car look/sound like it's fast, without making, or at least trying to make it faster is rice. and heck, if body kits, tv's, crome rims, etc give you a hard on, then do it. but for most car guys, we like to push the gas pedel and not only hear, but feel the car. and i get excited seeing a greasy function before form engine bay that kicks ass, and i could care less about the interior/exterior blemishes. but that's me, my dad raised me on car stories, and i've been doing my families tune-ups since i could pick up a wrench. all my cars are 10ft cars, get any closer and you'll see imperfections, but i also don't have to be scared to drive it on the highway and catch loose gravel on my hood/windshield.

that's me, you be you, and if someone calls what you like rice, then wear that title proud, or be a pussy and cry about it, i care not

Yea, it basically is 4 rims and tires, 2 seats and an engine enclosed in a very secure frame. It would pass any crash test easily.

Decide that from what you read or you going to be a sheep and follow what anyone antirice says?

Or how about you go to those sites, search on them, and find these riced cars, alot of them people like. Yeah the guys on those sites are worse than people on domestic sites, when it comes to real rice, but they actually know what cars are good stock and which arent.

Why try to make it faster when its already fast enough for the street? And when I want to get excited I go have sex, not drive a car. You might get off on flooring a car but the majority of guys prefer to get off by seeing some nudey lady in their bed/kitchen/bathroom/garage.

When people realise what is rice and whats genuinly a nice looking car with some go aswell as show then yes. And in my first post here I actually said something like I might be rice, if you do then fine, it doesnt exactly bother me, and it doesnt exactly bother me if you do or dont like my car and what I have done to it (hell I didnt like it for the last 12 months hence the current stripdown and remod). Im just here to try and get people to realise what is rice and what isnt, only a couple of people have actually convinced me they know what is really rice and what isnt.

I cant say for 100% certain in all states. I can say for MD though you have to have a windshield period (and airbags unless you have Historic plates or an old car). Otherwise crap could fly up and hit you in the face resulting in an accident (since there is no helmet law for a car). Maryland is a pretty liberal state so i would imagine our laws are not the most strict. Look it up if you like, its a fact.

Well it is classified as a special car so the laws wouldnt really apply. I think they have windshields on them now. There are two versions, maybe more, but the older ones used the integra Type R engine with a supercharger setup as a MR vehicle and they were bad ass, now they use a different engine thats even more powerefull and still an MR setup. Force to be reconed with.
