It's a little over-the-top for a street car, but I wouldn't call it rice.

And I actually like an airfoil-style GT wing on a properly setup streetable track monster...

You know, I really hate the fart can stigma caused by these idiot ricers. A "fart can" (AKA turbo muffler from Japan JDM yo) actually sounds good on most factory turbo cars.

For example, a fart can on a Lancer GTS (engine code 4B11): YouTube - Lancer GTS Greddy Ti-C Exhaust

Sounds like ***. Not as bad as a D16 with a fart can, but still buzz-farty, bwap bwap bwap sounding.

Fart can on my Evo X before replacement turbo, ported manifold (engine code 4B11T): YouTube - Evo X Invidia exhaust w/ Invidia DP/TP

Yes, it's no turbo V6, but I think it sounds nice. Exhausts should not be allowed on N/A 4 bangers because it's dumb and makes them sound like ****. I wish companies would take a hit and do the entire world a favor and stop making and installing exhausts on 4 banger econoboxes.

So if a Japanese car is "rice", what's the American counterpart? Quarter Pound Burger with Cheese? Fried Chicken?

Rice is kind of the staple food of Japan, whereas our staple food is more of... french fries. So I suppose domestic rice ought to be called "fries" instead of "rice"

370 in my opinion is not a ricer theres no way my opinion a ricer is any car with parts that look horrible on the car civics with big *** wings that serve no purpose is a ricer. if you have a car that runs 17s it does not need a wing on it or loud mufflers once again this is my opinion
