I was driving down beach blvd tonight and i saw this riced out 94' 4 door accord (who in their right mind races out a 4 door sedan? but back to the point) with a v8 emblem on the back of it! what the hell? i pulled next to him so he could see my v8 emblem. he looked at my truck and hit the gas, at least i think he hit the gas. his car made a lot of noise, but he didnt go much faster. i wanted to smoke him, but i have got too many tickets on that street so i just laughed at him insted. what is this world comming to?

I know what ya mean. I pulled up to this nice lifted GenII(same as mine) 4x4 Dakota with the 3.9 and wanted to show him my ride and hope fully see if he had any major mods beside the loud exhaust. I look across the intersection and see two cops side by side and decided to give it a rest. For some reason there have been a TON more cops out on Fri. & Sat. nights now and I have seen about 8 or 9 cars pulled over tonight in about a 2 hour period. All the cars were either 5.0's, riced out imports and I even saw an old muscle car. Then with a smile I pat the dash of my nice powerful, inconspicuos, old man looking Dakota and thank the mopar gods for being so good to me.Hehe

I doubt that most of you are seeing "riced" out imports. You are probably seeing wanabe punks with a loud muffler, and a whole bunch of stickers. I can tell you right know that a stock Toyota Supra Tubo would smoke you in a heart beat. A race prepped civic with a Frankinstein motor would also leave you shortly after leaving the line. Some civics run the 1/4 mile in low 8 second range. I doubt that you will run into many race preb imports on the street. I am a little curious why anyone with an American made truck with a V8 would want to race little imports with 4 bangers driven buy punk kids on the street for? That is like a 18 year old takeing pride in beating up a 12 year old. It is a hollow victory. You might want to start raceing vechiles that are closer to yours in weight and power and torque. Our you might try big money street events"unsanctioned" you will see some serious "riced" domesticly made car with japanesse name plates. You might want to try bracket raceing as well at sanctioned events.

the only reason that i was thinking of racing him is because he had a v8 emblem on a honda accord. i wanted to show him what a real v8 would do to his car.
and how reliable is a 8 sec 4-banger?! maby thats why i dont see any on the street. every import that i have raced they have picked the "fight", even the v8 accord. i would MUCH rather run trucks (domestic trucks that is) than wast my gas on smoking a 4-banger
no kidding a turbo supra would beat me, so would my neibors skyline (yes he imported it from japan)
i just hate it when people put a 5" pipe on their car and they think they are the $hit and then have the nerve to race you.

sandman, my definition of rice is just what you say a Honda with sickers, a coffee can for an exhaust tip, and a radar arch off a Bayliner flybridge for a wing. If there are some unassuming 8 sec civics prowling the streets out there I'd respect them, personally I think you may be exagerating a bit. There are a lot of stock cars faster then a Dakota, big deal, there are also a lot of americian stock cars that will smoke a Toyota Supra, for the same price (like the Z06 vette) The point was is this Accord diver wasn't respecting his big Dodge brother

I can understand what your sayind sandman, but it just bugs the hell out of me when I pull up next to some punk kid in a riced out import who takes a look at my "uncool" looking dakota and revs his engine because I am another punk kid the same age as him blasting his stereo just as loud, only its country not some sh@#$% digital dance mix and he is in an old man truck that looks like an easy kill. So I rev mine and as usual, they dont take notice because they have no idea what the difference is between my V8 and their 4 banger and really know nothing about motors and cars as far as mods go that arent either grossly oversized exhaust tips or stickers from different companies that are usaully competitors or have nothing to do with ricers at all, but they sure do make ya look fast! So anyway, The usual, green light, I hit the gas....not so hard(107,000 on the odometer leaves me nervous), tires squeal(pisses me off!), I leave the line before him as expected( maybe because his daddy just gave him the car and he has no idea what to do with it or how to use it) and a ways down the road he flies past me at around 85 or 90 mph with an angry look on his face because an "old man truck" pretty much took him. Im not mad, I know I pretty much took that one and figure if we were at the track, I would have beaten hin in the 1/4....or maybe not(never been to a track) but I guess how long a quarter of a mile is. So if people get down on me for racing riced out 4 cylinders, I dont care. Once those ricer boys stop thinking their sh!@# dont stink and they can smoke anything just because their car happens to look like one from "The Fast and the Furious", thats when I will stop racing them.......or until I get my first ticket.

I am serious about 8 sec. civics. There is a NHRA Import class that is now sanctioned. Their is a NSX that is runnning 7's and is aiming for 6's. My Dakota is the second American Badged vechile that I have owned and I realy like. I used to take great pride in spanking 4.3 S-10 with 4 banger imports and mustangs and Tarus SHO's in the 80's and early 90's. Most of my friends bracket raced so I helped them with their small block and big block monsters as well. I agree that it is anoying to watch some idiot but v8 and turbo stickers on something that obviously is not either one. I feel sorry for people that are that shallow and I will not expect a shallow victory. P.S. Most import badged vechiles are now built in America by UAW union workers from small town America.

i have seen Adams NSX too, its a nice car. I know their are 8 sec honda's out there. with 20-50k into a honda i hope its fast. also i will race anyone, not only to see how my truck holds up, but also what the other car will do. I have raced everything from a stock civic si to a 01 ferrari. the only reason i race slower cars is because they give me dirty looks or try to show off for their girlfriends.

Of course their are exceptions like these 8 sec cars but they are not practical to drive and have over 50K into them. There are also V8's running 4-5's on alchol producing 5,000 HP. They sometimes make one run and blow their engines.

I have a buddy here at work that has a '98 4 door accord. He has put a exhaust and some mods under the hood. He is into his 4 banger accord less than what I walked off the lot with my truck. He runs 13's on the track. If you looked at it you would not know. You would not even know it was tricked out if you looked at it with the eception of the exhaust tip. That is the car I want. One that does not look it but will toast anything. Almost. It is at the top of the food chain anyhow.

You guys should take a look at www.riceboypage.com. I think that is the best definition of a ricer. It excludes serious import race cars. My Dakota is a neat truck, and usually they leave me alone. We also have a Taurus SHO, and we can't take it out without someone wanting to race. Mostly ricers, but once in a while BMW 3 series and things like that. Most of the time I let them speed off. Once in a while, it just gets old and I gotta show them what our 4-door domestic family car can do.

Well, i have a 94 accord. Sure its a 4 door, but i am gonna put some engine mods on it. I did find this exhaust i want, its almost silent. But the accord comes second to my dak (which is still in the shop dang-it), what i want out of my "ricer" is a stock looking car, that has a $hit load of performance. Now, im not talkin just a stupid intake, new headers, and some loud exhaust. Im looking (when im done with my dak for a while ) to do a nice engine swap. The Honda H22 engine from japan puts out a nice 220hp. Not to shabby for a 4 banger. Im saving up to put one of those bad boys in the 4 door. Then i'll go own some of these punk kids that know nothing about cars, just what they see in the movies. At least i do all my own work on my dak (execpt re-tapping some threads in the head), and i do all my own work on my accord. Its all about the love you put into your car(s). Have fun and go fast. Hey, if anyone wants to talk about ricers, shoot me an email, i need some advice.

Hondas are crap. Get a real Car. You cant do crap with them. You try to make your car look really cool by putting you mufflers on it. Then you try to make them as tough as our trucks buy holding it together with stickers That are placed on the car to conceal scratches and dents caused by the crap driving that all of you unleash on the rest of us. Lets get one thing clear. You think you own the road but if you hit me its your funiral. Also No front wheel drive car can do the 1/4 under 10 without the aid of there stupid wheelie bars that push down and give the car the extra grip. When i go to the track and watch these losers lower there bars and then beat a mustang or camaro and thing there so cool i just want to trash there car. ON the street were bars arent an option American V8s will always rule.

If you want a reliable car go with Honda. The engines outlast the bodies. As far as not being able to do crap with them. Have ya looked around lately? I will agree the stickers and fins are dumb. A stang or a camero are mid grad sports cars if that. Yes you can pump them up and give them some real power. You can do that to Japan cars as well. Some of the most quickest cars are 4 and 6 bangers. Porche,Acra NSX,Toyota Supra,Lotus ect... Before they are tricked out. Here is some supras that are putting out some real power.
www.suprastore.com
Granted they are a rear wheel drive. Here is a Mini van (with front wheel drive) that can do a 12 second 1/4 mile. There are several clips to see if it is front wheel drive. If a mini van can do it. A smaller lighter car can.

Here are some samples of some quick hondas.
www.purehonda.com
granted there are a lot of ugly ricers here. But there are some quick ones as well.
I will agree american V8s can't be replaced for brute power and tourqe. But you can not replace Japan cars for reliablility. Once you add any engine mod you start to mess with engine reliablity in ANY car. In no means do I like majority of ricers. But they can be tricked out to do some amazing stuff. Personally I don't like the look of blowen out v8s either. Each to their own.

It all comes down to kids are kids. They are marketed to because they don't have experience and are about 100% disposable income. Why else are underdrive pullies $300 for a Honda and $80 for a Mustang? They look the same to me.
Trucks were cheap a decade ago now they're expensive and mainstream. The same thing will happen with imports and whatever is cheap in a few years will be what younger people will buy and start fixing up.
Do I still love smoking them? Yeah, it's fun. Could I get smoked by one? Sure there is always someone faster I just don't put as much time and money into it. I have other things in life.

Honda and Toyota got their image as being very reliable when they were making tiny cars with little motor and manual transmissions. Now that they have comparable weight, power, and automatic transmissions they are not exceptionally more reliable then the domestic competitors. Take into account thier repairs are often twice as costly when they do happen and they actually cost more in the long run to own. Consumer reports used to have a cost factor in the ratings and they did away with it when it started grossly contradicting everything good they were saying about the imports. Saying a Accord could be mad faster then a Dakota for less money is just wrong. If you want to talk new, a 4.7 5-speed, RC could be bought for under $13,000 after rebates. $1000 in mods would put it easy in the high 13's. Whats a 4 banger accord cost? $15,500 if you have a friend at the dealer. Even the least expensive civic will cost $12,000. If you want to talk used, how much would a 94 Dakota 5.2 5-speed run? about $4700 with average mileage, a 94 accord would be about $5600, sorry I'll take a v-8 or v-6 RWD Dakota for performance anyday over a Honda.

If you are talking price that is something differnt. I was only pointing out the other side of the story. Besides. I don't know where you are getting your base numbers. I just ran the base of the base on both a dak and a accord if you want to get technical. 2001 Honda accord with a 4 banger (only way to get a stick). 15400 msrp. DAK RC (has to be sport or slt to get 4.7) 16730 msrp. I would compair the CC due to a back seat-18510 msrp. From dodge web site. They could be differnt at a dealer. I paid dealer posted invoice. (dealer never paies full invoice on vehicle they order.) When you order differnt story. Now the 2 vehicles in question.
My Dak
2000 slt plus CC 4x4 stick lsd 3.90 31x10.5 all the options but the compass. I walked off the lot at 21300. 1500 off dealer invoice. I thought a good deal
Friend Accord
1998 Accord EX 4 cyd all the options it comes with. He states 18500. He states 2500 in mods. Things I know about. Cold air intake, Exhaust, k&n, Headers, Nitrous Dry kit. If I do my math that is 21000 dolors. Cheaper than I walked off the lot.
Granted that aftermarket products are more do to supply and demand you are correct. Now if I wanted to buy a car I would have. But the car I would want is the Nissan Maxima. not manyvehicles can beat stock for stock the maxima sedan. Anther thing if you can get my truck to run 13/s with a 1000 bucks where do I sign. Did you take into account the cost of gas. Oil changes. Freind takes it to Honda dealer get oil and fluid changed for 18.76 with utah sales tax. I take mine to any dodge dealer 28.32 with tax. Honda cheeper. Gas mileage. He states he gets 26 around town and 32 on a trip to Vegas from Salt Lake City. Best I ever got was 22 going to Lake powell. I average 17 around town. Hwy. 19-20. There is some more saveings. His nitrus costs 42.48 with tax ever fill up. He states he goes through 1 and and is on the second bottle in 4 months. Tires hmm don't even want to go there. I replace my filter ever 3 months due to driving on dirt a lot. He buys a recharger for his k&n. He has a family sedan I have a 4x4 truck. His insurance is cheaper. If you want to argue that one call my Fiance and talk to her. She runs standard and non-standard. Runs it for about 40 companies and she can find the cheapest out there even those with credit.
Sorry for the long post. I am sick of the MOPAR mentality. Whenever someone posts the other side of the story you get flamed. I think that the accord is cheaper in the long run. I love my DAk and would not go for anything else. I am just posting the other side of the story.
I gave you my 2 cents before now you got 25 more cents.

Please Dont tell me japan made cars are more reliable. I have only owned japanise cars and trucks up until my first durango back in 1999 I still own a nissan altima and I now also have a dakota R/T 5.9 and am planing on buying a 4.7 dak 5 speed and selling my durango. I drive accros contry all the time and have over 200000 miles on my durango and it still runs like new and i neglected all service after 40000 all i do is change the oil. My R/T is pretty much the same. As for my japanise cars.
i owned 2 nissan maximas 3 nissan pathfinders 1 toyota 4runners. One of the nissans broke a tranny on a boat ramp and i almost lost the truck there. The toyota was the biggest peice of shi*. The second day I owned it i kicked the plasted as i got in and it cracked by accident. Then about half a year later the heater broke. (Right in winter) And then a month after that the head gasket blew. Still under warranty but toyota wouldnt fix it. So i took my buissness accross the street. I offten see some people come and brag that there 2 door honda civic made in 91 with 5 speed has 200000 on it but i just think of my neighbour at the cottage with a 1979 dodge ram with slant 6 that has over a million KM on it and starts better. My nissan altima is the only thing in my driveway that cost me money now. It has the 2.4L and i drive it the same as all my cars and the water pump broke and the power anntenna and now my Tach reads 2000 rpm higher then what it is doing.
Now just to let you know. I used to be in the tool and dye trade and made parts for chrysler, ford, GM, Mercedies, Toyota, Nissan. and the company that had the lowest margin for error was Chrysler and Mercedies. ANd if you went out side that they sent it back. GM was the worst giving you + or - .0010 but the japanies parts were in the middle and made buy the same people.
So i guess whats going on is some people get the illusion that if its made over seas that its quality. Well my experience with US and JAPAN TRUCKs is that there the same. But I have seen more us cars over the 300000 marker.

Its really kind of pointless to compare our Dak's to a Civic or an Altima. They really have NOTHING in common. As for the reliability of
of them... I owned 3 nissan pickup trucks before I got my Dakota. I never put anything but oil, brakes, and tires on any of them. granted they couldnt even get out of there own way, but they were all exactly what they claimed to be... cheap reliable transportation. As for the honda, my girlfriend is on her second Civic and they are extremely reliable cars. she has never had a problem with either of them. And to boot, her 2000 Civic EX which she has owned for almost a year BLUE BOOKS FOR MORE THAN SHE PAID FOR IT NEW!!!

Ok let me recant something. I said Japan cars. Let me limit it to 2 cars. Accord and Maxima. I know 1 freind that has had 3 maximas over 250000 then sells the car. No problems except a broken sun roof rack when a guy climbed out of it. Accords all you have to do is look around. I have never liked toyota trucks or pathfinders. I only heard bad stuff about pathfinders. If you want to talk keep runnen and runnen and runnen. My dad has a '72 chevy. He does not know how many times the od has rolled. The 400 has been built once and new turbo 400 mated to it. Runs like a champ. We are having carb probs now. He is going to replace that soon. You can't beet that toyota 4 cyd. The toy's 6 cyld suck.

Its sounds like you are saying that there are some bad japanise cars out there. And yes there are and i will agree that toyota is crap. And yes nissan maxima was a good car. And your dads 72 chevy had a odometer that went to 99999 so if he spun it around 3 times he would have 300000 and as for your 9 second car go look at the websight you posted and you will see the bars holding the cars front tires to the ground.
Why do you come here and defend japanise cars. This is a dodge websight. Go ahead and spend 100000 grand on a civic and make it go 10 secs but were bigger, better, and can leave civic drivers in the hospital.
Oh i new a person once that had a street race in a slightly modified civic. He lost control and hit a lamp post. His seat broke from the car and him and his seat flew right through the window and slid on the road for about 30 feet. Thats were his friends found him dead. Now i dont know about engine quality of a honda but when seats break of from the car thats pathetic. And he didnt hit the pole and 34243 miles an hour he hit it at less then 60 and probably would have survived if honda cared about there owners.

If they can not handle their car they should not drive it. Anther thing you want to talk about seats. My bro had a Egale Talon. He sliped on some black ice doing 25 mph. Slid off a cliff. the back of the seat broke went into the back compartment and thew him out the back and ejected him from the car. He was killed. The drivers compartment was in great shape. The drivers side window was not even broke. The windshild was still in. He possibly survied if his seat held togeather. What about Chrysler if they cared about their cutomers he would be around. Granted it was a mit. eclise. So had a crysler badge. o and by the way I do know how to do simple math.

thoes cars who? 4-bangers? they are running top fuel in them? i didnt know top fuel was a gas. top fuel is the dragster class. the fuel they use is nitro methane. like i said before, go watch a real NHRA drag race.

I have a 2000 nissan maxima se 5 speed and its pretty quick for a 4 door. It's not riced out and never will be. Just tinted windows,rear sway bar and K & N filter. But anyway I'm a fan of american truck's and fine import vehicle's.

You think they are running gas to get those times. Are you up in the night. no no no. they run top fuel as well. Go watch IDRC, NIRA, NOPI. Just as a sample. NHRA is not the only drag assaiotion. Granted it prob is the biggest.

i have seen imports that i really like, because they do like silvermaxd did THEY KEPT IT SIMPLE which makes it a "clean car"
i dont understand why someone who owns a dak would come here to say imports are better. and not understand why some are defending the dodge. i personally think anythig can be cool if done right, and i think my truck is better than a import car. if i didnt i would have bought a import.
