The MAIN reason why rolls are ricer talk is b/c cars don't talk shit on the internet - PEOPLE do. A roll race takes the PERSON out of the mix. You talk shit on the net I wanna take YOU down (and your car can come along if it likes - LOL). A car that wins from 20 - 120 can lose from 40 - 140, or get straight ANNILATED from a 60 kick. Welcome to Riceville.

NONE of what I just said takes anything away from the cars performance. Eminno went 14.2 @ a million MPH in a 300hp Accord. I went 13.9 @ 99 on streets w/ a 168hp civic, and then slower but faster (LOL: 14.2 at 106) on streets/nitrous. Car guys know to look at the mile-an-hour and say "damn, on a tire and the right suspension that civic will roll the fuck out, but that's bench racing.) If Emmino and I sit down from a 40 kick I'd BARELY roll out and then proceed to get my ass handed to me. From a 60 I might as well not even waste my gas - from 60 he now has a ROCKET ship. From a 20 roll --> I now have a rocket ship. You can setup a roll race to be in your favor EVERY time (when I see Vettes they want me at 60, I want them at 40 -- they know why I want low speed and I know why they want more speed). RICER TALK is RICER TALK, even when it comes from the pilot of a rocket-ship.

back to your regulary scheduled thread.
LOL yes it wasnt the most accurate gauge of the cars capability you're right but no it was'nt ricer talk. You do take out a lot of skill thats true and you're right that different cars because of their different power levels and gearing do better from different speeds. However how does a car racing from a roll make it a ricer car or using that as a gauge make it ricer talk?

Saying you can set up a roll to be in your favor everytime(by changing the starting and ending speeds) is true but you can set up any sort of race to be in your favor if you change a variable and this includes quarter mile contests. So how again is that ricer talk? How is that a ricer racer? Is it simply because its not what you prefer? I have yet to see your point?

And more mature? Really? I mean come on you have gone to meets and certainly you have seen the hordes of immature and ignorant people that only care what their car will run from a dig.

I do want to be clear that I'm not trying to make this an import vs. domestic as I am well aware that ignorance has no boundries. I just think that example wasnt ricer talk and that a car that roll races because as a street car that what it's most likely to encounter does'nt make it ricer car or that discussion of said racers is ricer talk.
