Isnt that also a Plymouth RoadRunner?

I think it could be but it would have to be the SuperBird version.

The Mopars deserve a moment of silence.....

ok - the difference between being ricer and not.....is it functional?! if not = ricer

if so = performance based!

ahhh but those big spoilers are functional - they make a handy table for roadside backgammon and they slow the bloody ricers down and hike up their fuel consumption thus costing them even more money so they can't afford more crappy mods.

And since performance shops are willing to sell those crappy things, they help keep the costs of true performance parts lower for us who do engine work!

Okay, I hate rice-haters.

I personally am more about clean lines, but I did put a blue neon in my grill back in college for the hell of it. I stuck a big muffler on my car, cause I thought the stock accord muffler looked strange on the larger rear of the 6th gen accord.

I say, to each his own. I personally love all all the ricer cars in fast and furious.

I think its great to customize our cars. We all put a lot of time and thought into increasing the 'geek' factor of our carputers, sometimes adding features that are more 'show' than function.

I don't race, cause I know I have a 'slow car'. I have lowered the car and but Z rated tires, so I can out handle my friend's 330. I love it when some tricks out an old 84 hatchback. It's fun. Nothing is more boring than not being original.

Check out my website below for pics of my accord.

I saw a Mitsu Eclipse with a 3ft spoiler. I know it was stock because I've seen a handful of them like that, and all were painted!

Well that would be nice but i am sure they just enjoy the even greater profit and go buy a decent car that is quick and looks good from stock!

Got any more pics of your car. I realyllike the look of it from that side shot. very clean and those rims really suite it and don't look out of place. Does is feelthe same after getting rebuilt? Dunno if i would trust it.

And anyway, you can get a FWD car to step out if you push hard enough.....
