I haven't had a ricer rev at me in years. Last time that happened was maybe a few months after I bought the Corvette and it was always obvious ricers. IE Civics, NA Eclipses, NA 240s etc with hubcaps, two-foot wings, glow-in-dark windshield wiper nozels and well, you get the picture. However the last time some 4-bangers challenged me was a Evo something, and we were pretty even. A hopped up SRT4 drug me from a light in the Corvette and a bone-stock looking GSX Eclipse killed me in a roll race in the Corvette.

I'll say this, though, I wouldn't put too much sleep on factory and magazine quoted 0-60, 1/4 mile etc stats. If someone is willing to race you, more than likely they aren't stock. So those figures are completely worthless in the real world.

Personally, I don't rev at anyone unless I plan to do something about it. Having two ricers rev me in the same day was weird. But these kinda tools won't actually race. They just bark
