    hmm what i don't get is your trying to make your trans am different from other ones, but trying to make it the same as all the peice of shit ricers at your school. Different?? I think not. When your trying to make your car like all the other ones at your high school thats not trying to be different.

      I had the chance to go to toyko to check out some cars...i went on one of thier sites and they had a 1970 sumthin camaro or sum shit all ricered out it looked bad ass...all i gotta say is that it had the sound and power of a muscle car but the look and touchyness of a civic

          Riced out Camaros look like ass...PERIOD. I've yet to see ANY tastefully done "tuner" style Camaro/Firebirds. The gaudy addons do NOTHING for the looks and even less for performance. I don't understand why 3' tall body kits and 10' tall wings make a car "cool" today. Give me some cleaned up stock body lines and a killer stance with some sweet wheels and killer paint(not ricey) and that's what I'm all about.

            Why would you ever want your car to look like a civic? The civic is a gas saver grocery getter car. And touchy? What the hell is that supposed to mean?

              touchy, like if you touch it in the wrong spot, the piece of shit falls apart. If your gonna rice your car out don't do it with exterior shit, atleast give the thing some power and stick some NOS in there and put big homo NOS stickers on it. And just wondering, how old is your dad? I've never met anyone 30+ years of age that likes ricers.

                he probably ment touchy as in suspesnsion wise... but the only way a civic is gonna handle like a f body atleast a newer one is with a few grand in parts... even your 3rd gen has a better suspension than a civic unless they decide to dump 3 grand or more into it... most nice tuners not "ricers" are pretty plain there is a civic in town here gloss black fully tinted out with just some chrome rims with the center painted black no crazy spoiler, no decals or stickers just stock looking besides tint and rims and hes pushing 11 seconds with it and still isnt done... real "ricers" dont even toss all that crap on there cars they know its pointless i havent seen many 10 second tuners with park benches body kits and decals all over them... just the guys that wish they were 10 seconds... and wish even more they could hit 14... there is a reason why there are hundreds of after market companies for f bodys but only one or 2 that do a rice style for them... it doesn't sell tell your dad if your gonna toss your money into it it might as well be somethign worth it... get a 350 or bigger, get a nice cam and heads maybe some nitrous and just put all the ricers at your school to shame without any of the tacky expensive crap added on...

                    i dont care how old that post is its pry the funniest thing ive heard all day, you have got to be kidding me right? Well pretty sure I am still in high school and i am def good with the "ladies". P.S my bird has the stock body kit on it. There are several ricers in my school but they are usually the crackhead morons that everyone laughs at cuz they add stuff to their car that only makes it more hideous. Just my .02 from one high schooler to another..

                        yeah okay, i know it wasn't an ls1 or you would've had your ass handed to you, either that or your dad's friend just roasted the tires. I'm guessing it was a 3.8???
