That is ricer talk. It can trap 120-125 and still run a 14 second 1/4. Get it to the track and see what it will do.

While I agree with you that it would be good to see this car hit the drag strip. I disagree about that being "ricer" talk. The same logic youre using to say that the car can trap 120-125 and run a 14.0 can be reversed on a car that has an abnormally low et for its trap thus making it only good at a drag strip or if you happen to be able to pull up to a willing car to run from a traffic light. Since this is a street car which is much more likely to being rolling along and encounter someone in that manner I think it was a perfect demonstration of what the car is capable of. Particularly since it has'nt been to the track in its most recent configuration.

No doubt though with how light it is that with the proper set of tires it would lay down an impressive e.t. for its power level. I know im anxious to see what that might be.

What? If you can't run a number at the track and daily drive it, Then you roll race aka ricer talk. I daily drive my truck and it will perform just as well at the track as it will on the street. A set of slicks will do wonders.

No. It's not ricer talk at all sorry. He used an example of the cars ability to accelerate from one given speed to another and just because it was'nt from 0-XXX does'nt make it ricer talk. A car that can get off the line well but then falls off as it goes down the 1320 due to either gearing or power to weight or both is no better or worse than another car that does'nt get off the line as well but picks up acceleration as it goes down the track if both cars run the same E.T.

So just because he used an example of a speed contest thats most likely to occur between two street cars does'nt mean hes talking like a ricer. Yes slicks do wonders and yes I want to see this car at the strip but I'm sorry on the whole "ricer talk" thing we just disagree.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but roll racing is ricer talk.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but roll racing is ricer talk.

No youre still wrong and I am beginning to think youre good at it lol. Here is an examle: You maybe have a quick truck that maybe runs a good e.t. at the track but I doubt that it can reach 160mph because of gearing or aero. Now because my not quick at all rsx can acheive that speed does it mean your truck is any less impressive? No of course not. This is because it's a matter or opinion, preference, or conditions on the type of speed contest you may set your car up for. This car can and will do well at the track but thats not where its most likely to be found so using an example of a speed contest that it is most likely to encounter is a fair and accurate gauge of the cars ability. Just because it's yet to be measured by your gauge of preference does't give you any more right to call it a ricer than it would me or many other non-quick cars the right to call your call slow because we can reach a higher top speed than you on the freeway.

LOL by your standards any car thats yet to run their current setup at the track but sites an example of their capability of their new performance is a ricer. Hahaha youre funny

I can understand people racing on the street from a roll. It is still ricer talk though. Truck has 3.42 rear gear and with the tall tires they are probably closer to 3.08. It may be a brick going down the road, but it has enough power to overcome that. Truck with equivalent power went 192 in the standing mile. I'm not crazy enough to attempt that however. Unless your DC5 is modded I doubt it could hit 160.

It got a little off topic me making the assumption(because I truly dont know nor care) that your car couldnt reach 160 but that was just an example to demonstrate my point which is something you may want to try because just repeating "roll racing is ricer talk" over and over really proves nothing. Perhaps you could show some correlation between someone citing an example of a speed contest not starting from a dig and someone making their car look like a spaceship otherwise you should just stop.

Since the owner of the hatch doesn't own slicks, slicks are not DOT legal, and it is a DAILY DRIVEN STREET CAR... the car runs drag radials on the street and does a lot of runs from 40mph because that is where it hooks up.

So if talking roll racing with STREET CARS is ricer talk, what is it when you say "it aint shit unless you show me an ET"... redneck talk?

Well spoken argument.
